Forget that you know anything about the clique, Selen's abuse, the aftermath, etc.

Is uploading a music video without permission and encouraging your fans to re-upload it a termination-worthy offense?

This is the only point Nijisanji has a foot on, but it is extremely weak. It's such a petty reason to fire somebody (I'm working under the assumption that the reason stated for termination is the real reason). I'm not sure what other people think about this incident when considered narrowly, most of the attention is on the more important details. If this happened somewhere like Hololive and Gura/Pekora/whoever did it would/should she be fired?

I would consider that fire-able. If a holo did something like that, I would be really shocked.

The problem seems to be less that they had some firm rules, and Selen went out of her way to break them, but rather that it's basically coming out left and right that the company actually has NO rules and their managers are either completely retarded, completely absent, or outsource all of their decision making and enforcement of policy to part-timers who couldn't give a shit either way.

It's completely ridiculous in this case. Sure, if an employee didn't follow a set procedure at any job, then that's something to be disciplined for.

But by not getting permission here, what did Nijisanji lose?? They're upset because the MV gives the idea that every talent is close and friendly even after graduation?? Was there something about the portrayals that was offensive or distasteful in the actual MV??

>> No.69186152

>>69185316
I dont think you actually understand the point here. No one cares about corporate rules. They dont exist to subsist upon themselves. Corporations exist to ensure a higher quality product. Corporations function in vtubing because there is a general assumption that being in a good corporation leads to higher quality productions overall. 3D concerts and high quality MVs rather than a girl with a good voice singing a 'cover' over an edited instrumental version of an anime OP set to a 3 minute reel of generic stock art.

Nijisanji's complaint is that selen completely bypassed nijisanji in the production of this high quality MV. They did not get her the permissions for the song, they did not provide art, they did not do audio, they did not do mixing, they did not do editing. She came to them to upload the song they did not make and they said no.

In that case the simple answer is that nijisanjis termination is justified.

They didn't terminate her over the MV, she was suspended while they tried to force her to put out a statement that she was wrong and everything was her fault. She refused, asked to be released from her contract and got ghosted for a week, then sent a document with her evidence against the company and said she would make a public statement if they didn't agree to end her contract. At which point they freaked out and put out a termination notice almost immediately hoping to control the narrative.

No, that's not their complaint, because literally every project is produced by and paid for by the streamers themselves. As far as has been leaked, revealed, and explained, Nijisanji is functionally 100% hands-off when it comes to the production and distribution of things like music videos and animations and events, and they really only exist to lock things down or keep them from happening when it be comes a question of "have we fully secured our bag on this."

Yes. Selen knew it was pretty much over the moment she started asking people to reupload the video, because she was clearly done with Kurosanji by that point.

If we go off of what Nijisanji wanted to do with Cy Yu, plus how they treated Melissa then technically Anycolor owns that MV, so asking for it to be reuploaded would be worthy of firing since Selen was essentially asking to redistribute something that doesn’t belong to her.
The thing is they COULD HAVE simply unprivated the damn thing (after getting their gay ass “perms” checks) during the month Selen was MIA, which would have (mostly) stopped people from reuploading, or would have at least given Niji an excuse to properly copyright strike the reuploads without much of a fuss. Then they could have given Selen a suspension or something, let her graduate on her own terms, and literally none of this would have happened.

Fuck no, especially if I didn't pay anything for it. This was literally free content for Niji and they flushed it down the toilet to be bitter, spiteful cunts

IF, for whatever reason, I knew that the song perms would good and it was just some red tape in the video I would take the video and strip the video out, privating the original for the time being and putting the thumbnail image for the whole video until those kinks could be worked out. When perms are worked out, swap the videos.

It's clear Selen's only real desire was for it to be up on Christmas. Which is easy enough. It doesn't necessarily HAVE TO include the video, it's a song after all. I, with no experience with Sony Vegas or other related video editing software, am confident I could do this in about thirty minutes of work.

So the manager just saying "lol fuck off nigger" isn't just being needlessly difficult, it's also being absurdly lazy. There's red tape from corporate inflexibility and then there's just being an uncompromising cunt, and her manager chose the latter.

It does not matter one iota what Selen did or did not do.

The termination notice was a three page rant slandering a girl who just attempted suicide, as if they were trying to finish her off. To top it off, AnyColor put all of its talent’s lives in danger by suggesting, to several hundred thousand angry Dragoons, that maybe she was bullied to the point of suicide by her fellow talents. (In addition to revealing that they tried to cover up the suicide, by skinwalking.)

And then, they DOUBLED DOWN, and made the now infamous "black stream" in which they slandered the girl who made an attempt AGAIN and put their talents in the firing line AGAIN.

Elira’s career is over. Thanks to this, she’ll never be able to work in media again, and she’ll be lucky if she can even come home to Canada without fearing for her life on the daily.

Depends on context.

From my experience with corporate workflow, a product manager was being updated about the project along the way.

Selen must have sent a storyboard way back when the project started. Storyboards include all notable characters, narrative design, progression, and style.
------------------------------

Selen must have sent the audio recordings, in order to get approved via a DRM DMCA tool, and make sure it passes HDCP handshakes.
----------------------------------------

Selen must have sent report of the permission of the rights-holder (Lilypichu).
-----------------------------------------


They stone-walled her in the very last step, ie, the final check before release, which is just to make sure everything came in together properly. That betrays sabotage or extremely lousy and disjointed management. It borders on absurdist comedy. Even tiny start-ups don't make these mistakes.
Not to mention, they created the rule after the fact. There was no rule or guideline in place about incorporating ex-livers in a video. Several livers had produced videos that depicted ex-livers by this point, without any issues. Management / liver never made any comments about asking for permission from an ex-liver.
Management was incompetent and dragged their feet / Elira clique sabotaged the MV ----> Selen unprivates it because she acted emotionally and felt betrayed, after having spent a lot of money, and after having promised her fans ---------> Knee jerk suspension -----------> Behind-the-scenes harassment and intrigue ---------> Selen attempts to an-hero -----------> Hospiralized --------> Management try figure out a way to terminate her with cause before her contract expiry, so they attempt to make her radioactive, like they did with Zaion --------------> They create the "new" rule about ex-livers, assert she broke said rule (retroactively), terminate her and smear her in the process -----------> Selen spills the beans

I think they were already panicking because the branch's rot was starting to show. Pomu was already scheduled to graduate, Kyo might have been too, then Selen gets pushed out the door after an obvious dispute with management?

Sure, but that really is only because she was putting together large events that brought in support and viewers from other streamers and outside of their normal fanbase.

I would be willing to wager that the other Niji streamers who do fuck-all probably don't make that much over the year in order to be able to funnel it into projects. A few might, maybe, but most probably are nowhere near. And at the same time, while obviously anyone building a business should accept that you're gonna be in the red or profit-neutral for the first year(s), if she's bringing in numbers for the company, then it would be expected that the company would repay that or offer support for it.

Given that we now know there was no potential lawsuit resulting from her action (as it was a matter of their own IP) and that they had taken almost two days to review a two minute video that she intended to be a pending graduation/Christmas present for her Dragoons, and all the other times they had cock blocked her for various projects before, no, certainly not worth a termination. If she's a chronic problem as they say, it'd be worth a graduation, at most, and she was ready to leave anyways, even having offered to do so before the termination. No sane company fires someone offering to resign, especially when it's their #1 EN talent by views, so they know it'll be a PR nightmare.

I mean, what were they going to do, go crawl on their hands and knees to Mysta and Nina and beg them for a poorly drawn two second use of their own IP? No, someone blocked that out of spite, and likely that same person terminated her out of spite. It's almost like they were TRYING to kill her.

NTA but would it be fair to assume they're proportional, then? That means Selen was taking home a little over 18% for supachats and member streams alone, discounting merchs and voice packs (but we get into the 2% thing when we talk about those)

So, proportionally, that would mean Scarle took home $72K. Which isn't 'bad', it's less than a professional field for sitting on your ass and playing games and singing, but we don't know if Scarle is also having the same problems of Niji not paying the fucking people they agreed to work with resulting in out-of-pocket expenses.

The whole reason lawyers got involved was because she wanted to graduate, ie contract termination with cause. She was trying to assert, through her lawyer, that she had valid cause to sever the contract, due to workplace harassment violations and emotional/psychological abuse. They dragged their feet, and they had her under suspension for over a month, refusing to terminate the contract with cause, because it would have cost them more.


This hole shitshow could have been avoided if they'd allowed her to graduate amicably. Instead, they decided to smear her and employ the Zaion execution protocol. I hope the 18% drop on market capitalization was worth the couple thousand dollars they saved by terminated her for breach of contractual obligations. They lost 162 million dollars thus far, but at least they saved the money they would have had to fork over to Selen for residual merch sales and vps.

Niji did give her a warning back in may that she'd be risking termination for any further rule breaches. Although keep in mind that includes stuff like saying "management has privated the video" or other disparaging remarks towards them. Pic related.
Based on the phrasing of the termination notice and how they were trying to get her to make statements to calm down the drama around the MV, it's possible that they were just planning on suspending her for a period if she apologized/begged for forgiveness. She does have a lot of subs so there may have been at least some incentive to keep her.

From recent statements by Doki, it seems like the Termination was in response to the fact that she lawyered up and claimed to have receipts of wrongdoing.
They certainly had a laundry list of rules violations to point to in order to distract from it being just that, but that's standard practice in large corporations. Keep a record of all of someone's fuck-ups so that when you fire them, you can list all of those fuck-ups at once as the reason, even if you were actually firing them for something else.

If you want to get more rrat-brained it's possible that screwing with her permissions on the MV was some sort of loyalty test to see if she would politely wait and have the video be delayed, or if she would complain about management on twitter again. It's very possible that somebody within the company was aiming to get her fired, but simply didn't expect her to post the video outright, attempt sudoku, and then try and bring a lawyer into it.

The reason they become so deranged, in my humble opinion, is precisely because there's ground for a wrongful termination suit.

I can't believe they are so amateurish,
In JP law, wrongful termination is very, very, very hard to litigate:
Grounds for termination include the following that are relevant :
(i) an employee’s inability to provide labour due to injury, disability, illness or permanent damage, significantly poor performance, or loss of the trust relationship due to material fraud in an application for employment;
(ii) breach of work responsibilities and duties, orders, or workplace disciplines, policies and internal rules; and (iii) loss of job responsibility, redundancy due to business downsising, economic reasons, or corporate dissolution. All grounds for dismissal shall be set out in the work rules or in the employment contract.
Also, their whistleblower laws are different as it relates with wrongful termination
They thought they were in the clear by suspending Selen for a month and then terminating her, even though she was hospitalized, because they are protected under Japanese law.
It's not so clear-cut in Canadian law:

https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/workplace/federal-labour-standards/termination.html

SC ruling:
https://www.mccarthy.ca/en/insights/blogs/canadian-employer-advisor/supreme-court-canada-rules-wrongful-termination-damages
Anyway, I believe that's the main reason they tried to assassinate her character. They needed to make sure they are covered from a legal perspective when it comes to wrongful termination/unjust dismissal.

The character assassination thing also lines up with how a Japanese company would go about this problem: Character is a huge part in Japanese civil case law because it gets a foot in the door for rulings that their testimony is untrustworthy. That's why companies are almost always assumed of doing the right thing: they have the most to lose if they aren't.

It's the same as the shit from May. AnyColor wasn't mad about the fashion contest. They eventually allowed her to provide cash prizes, after all. What AnyColor was mad about was that Selen publicly disgraced their company by publicly saying she had to fight with them to provide cash prizes, and from her own pocket at that.

That's why the termination notice goes on about trying to disclose the reasons behind making the video private; Why it mentions expressing their expectations for future compliance.
They literally only care about their image in the eyes of stockholders.
They're Japanese so they don't comprehend how raking an employee over the coals can disgrace their image. If the employee couldn't stand the heat then obviously the problem is with the employee not the company.

I would've accepted it as a reasonable enough reason to terminate her contract(even if I didn't like it), but then we got that black stream where their cherry picked receipts to help their case was, "we need to check if we can use the IP we own". It wasn't about the artwork or the music(which they had definitely had permission for), it was about Nijisanji's own IP being brought up as a potential issue a couple of hours before the planned Christmas day release of a cover that had been in production for well over a year. The cover song situation seems completely unreasonable.
The decision to actually terminate her contract appears to have come a couple of hours after her lawyer had sent Nijisanji some legal documents which makes it a lot harder to know what the issue was as we don't exactly know what it was saying or threatening.

This is generally how Japanese companies operate. They want to force you to quit so they don't have to fire you.
It's considered dishonorable to quit. It means you have poor work ethic. It makes it hard for you to get hired elsewhere.
On the other hand, firing an employee makes the company look bad, because it means they hired someone who they needed to fire. It means the company is incompetent.

I mean, if the video still needed third party permissions then yes. In this instance, the video was privated because it had Nina and Mysta in it for one scene, both of whose likenesses are solely owned by Anycolor Corporation. There shouldn't have been any 'permissions' needed to begin with, their characters are both company assets.

Can we all just agree the whole 'Oh nooo Selen-san you need perms from your own company to use their IP' reasoning to private the video was bullshit that was likely cooked up by a spiteful manager who was still angry that Selen bypassed management to get the perms for the song directly from Lilypichu?

I'm looking for clarification on this.

What the hell is Aster in "laying low/too new" after the Discord leaks? Why is Finana in merely just "in kahoots"? I know opinion on Rosemi has rapidly changed after the whole "save me pink girl" thing, but is it really confirmed she's part of the clique and not just going along with it so she doesn't end up on their bad side?

And why the fuck is Kotoka Torahime not here? That's another unknown quantity to me because she didn't just throw Zaion under the bus, she put rocket boosters on Zaion and had a fleet of buses drive over her and then back up and drive over her again. But... she didn't tweet out the bullshit "Message from Nijisanji" video, either. So... Consensus?

And, Petra. She seems innocuous (then again, so did Rosemi). But she's part of Zuttoღo, which is Millie/Enna/Reimu's little gang which is clique central.

>> No.69190013

While I'm sure Niji did jerk her around with delays and making up new permissions prior to what's shown in the screenshot, the fact is that she submitted a version of the video for review with content the manager had never seen before on Dec 24, for a cover she wanted to release on Dec 25. There's clearly more than a few last minute touch-ups going on if management had never even seen the parts with ex-talents prior to this.

Actually, Lily says she gave the perms directly to Nijisanji.

When Selen made that tweet, we all kind of assumed it was a copyright issue of some sort that could result in a lawsuit. They didn't need her to say anything more to cover their asses. Why they chose to reveal there was no possible lawsuit at all in the black stream, I've no fucking idea.

Why is it the responsibility of the corporation to walk on egg shells to not set off Selen so she won't kill herself if she has broke the rules and needs to be fired? She threatened to sue beforehand too and said she'd go public if negotiating wouldn't work, are you they supposed to ignore that as part of the context of what happened so that Selen can say "They left out key information" later for a gotcha moment?

No, schizo. Millie's Niji defense stream has her say talents choose what projects they are and aren't a part of completely unprompted meaning they have a say in how their characters are used. They also have to ask higher ups if it's acceptable to use an IP in a certain way.

The end of the video contains a still picture with chibi versions of (practically) all of NIJISANJI EN's vtuber cast.
It's a still image with no animation beyond a basic pan/zoom out. It's chibi style. It being colored is irrelevant, because every vtuber would still be recognizable in the draft or pre-color version.
There is absolutely no fucking way this image was new material. Zero fucking chance. This image was almost certainly seen and okayed MONTHS in advanced, if it wasn't okayed at the fucking start in the storyboard.

At the very least it's insubordination and worthy of disciplinary action, companies have rules to protect both themselves & employees and bypassing them is problematic regardless if anything bad happened.
That said, it's impossible to look at this situation in a vacuum because all of those events happened because of prior incompetence/malice.

As for comparisons, Cover would probably be pissed if a talent got permissions for things without involving management at all because of their PTSD following the holocaust ironically another one of cover's woes caused by nijisanji's rabid fans, they probably wouldn't mind the MV containing other holos unless they were depicted in an unflattering light - if mori covered a song and there's the rest of myth in the background clubbing baby seals to death for no reason then cover might request she tone it down a little
If you want to contextualize how Cover handles this sort of thing look at Vespers first suspension and Rushia & Mel's terminations. Vesper was suspended for insubordination and being off his meds, the terminations were for NDA breaches

That's the thing though. Like you said, Cover would be pissed if a talent made a random project without management's knowledge and tried to handle all the permissions on their own. That's why Cover helps fund projects and includes managers in the process, to avoid that sort of thing happening.

The fact that management was somehow unaware of Selen's project for an entire year (which is impossible, given they were at least aware that she secured permissions for the song itself) just means that Niji is an absolute fuckfest.
The entire point of having managers is to oversee those sorts of projects, be aware of what the talents are doing, and make sure they don't get you into legal trouble. Why are the managers unable or unwilling to get an update from Selen about the project before the very final release?

The video is on Selen's channel, privated. it already cleared youtube's DeepMind algorithmic check, and has a HDCP hanshake.
The video is unprivated.
Other users re-upload it.
The video goes private again.

Once the video is unprivated again, those reuploaders can copyright-strike the ORIGINAL UPLOADER AND RIGHTS HOLDER, and take down their channel.

Which is funny because all the termination notice and follow-up video did was expose Selen's shitty behavior, but this actually made Selen even more popular in the public eye, because they took it as them taking shots at her - regardless of whether it was true or not. People are just mad Nijisanji is painting her as being unreasonable. They'd rather not know or be lied to.

Anycolor has always behaved this way and gotten away with it, though, so I don't blame them. But it's different this time, probably because of a combination of Selen's popularity, Nijisanji's bad rep recently and Western fans caring more about the talents than the company.

None of this would have happened if Anycolor had just let her graduate like she wanted to. The MV was intended to be her final hurrah before graduation. She sang the same fucking song when she graduated as Doki the first time. That's all she wanted. To graduate. Anycolor shot themselves repeatedly in the foot, until there was nothing but a stump left, instead of saying "Okay, you can leave."

This
It's the reason why graduating is so frequent in Nijisanji
Doki just had enough dosh to do it herself while everyone else left the ship
In an ironic twist of fate, doing management's job taught her skills that can help her go indie again
This is why talent agencies/record labels prefer to do the boring accounting, booking, clearing stuff is because when artists realize they can do these themselves they will instantly go indie and get all revenue themselves while retaining ownership of their art
NijiEN might've used withholding funds as a constructive dismissal tactic (purposely creating scenarios that result in voluntary quitting) which is incredibly retarded because displaying you can't do the boring management stuff displays incompetence rather than a power move

well that is and is not true.
The talents actually pay for projects for their own pocket, these projects usually never return profit also. Minecraft sport fest,coversongs, etc. you can search for any hololive costs clip if you want. Even some proyects taking full year to come out. See kronii and gura latest originals which probably wont see the light of day until later half of this year.it is also really expensive as bae, marine and ame have talked about it. Smoll myth adventures was only one episode and i recall ame telling specifically that she didnt do more becasue it costs a lot. i dont know what selene was thinking spending that much money on multiple tournaments, songs and animation comissions last year not even nijiJP or holojp members do that. those costs are entirely on her.
Regarding the perms thing management is included in the process in the same way as they were here with selen but there is an extra level of management that it needs to go through and it could fold any project if they want even if its almost finished.
Pekora 2021 break becasue management shut her project or Ame okami blues orignial mv comes to my mind.
The difference is that cover growth at a slower peace than niji so management can get more personal with their talent needs and growth with them and can even change management if they want. Niji didnt, it added more and more talent and management support became more thin across all the branch. This why they suck, it isnt some conspiracy about management being on a hamok ignoring selen pings is probably they also dealing with lots of work themselves. Is imo why nina, pomu, mysta and all of them left. rules are already strict but management isnt getting better and staling.
of course this is the rational thought, saying management was clearly avoiding her is more fun.

>Is uploading a music video without permission and encouraging your fans to re-upload it a termination-worthy offense?
Technically? Yes. Companies can be shit like that, but if it was stated “hey don’t do this” and she did it, then that’s on Selen. It becomes a more valid termination action if you take into account that apparently she has been “troublesome” for managers or other events like they so claimed, but that history doesn’t even need to be there for such a thing to technically take place. Firing or terminating employees isn’t something companies do on a whim or easily though; they can, but it costs them a lot in both training and time and resources to replace the loss, and for an environment entirely based on building relationships between the viewer and the vtuber to maximise profit, it isn’t a good business practice to just fire for the smallest of mistakes. I think, and I say this as someone who hasn’t been keeping track of the whole drama so I can focus on my own vtubing stuff, for as absolutely horrid and wretched as Nijisanji is proving to be, Selen was likely very troublesome to work with. If I was a manager and one of my talents decided to take to their own social media platform to throw me under the bus more than once and likely after a firm talking to, I’d be pissed, not because “hurrr she said a mean thing about me” but because she’s destroying good will in a company, which is something you can NOT get back once it’s gone (ironic considering what has transpired). It’s one thing to be annoyed, but it’s something you just can’t really do with your employer in ANY workplace, because as ironic as it sounds with everything happening now, it does destroy brand reputation. Before this shit show, there still very much was this idea of “management is useless, the talent seems to be running the show” which is not really something you want to wear on your sleeve as a company. Even if the managers are incompetent or utterly useless, broadcasting as such is something that’s never on the table.

With that being said, whether it was right or wrong is now entirely out of the question the second Nijisanji released that termination notice. Phrased in such a slanderous, accusatory and disingenuous way, it destroys any kind of legitimacy on any actual problems or misgivings Selen might have caused that would give valid reason to let her go, and this is once again taking into consideration that we’re accounting for knowing nothing about stuff going on behind the scene.

for contract work in US/CA, they can terminate the contract for a single term violation unless specified otherwise in the contract.
that does not absolve the company for harassment suit though. especially in countries/states that are strict about these things. contract employees, and clients are covered in similar ways as a full-time employees in most anti-harassment rule. for example, companies can still be held liable even if it's a client that's harassing a contract employee. while they technically have minimal control over the parties involved, they are still expected to at least try to put a stop to the behaviour or separate the parties so that the harassment does not continue. terminating a contract while there is an active harassment claim is often seen as hostile.

Of course not. Because you can't do that.

This is something a lot of Niji antis don't seem to understand: someone allegedly trying to kill themselves is not an argument for or proof of anything. Anyone can try to kill themselves, for any reason, and then claim it was so-and-so's fault. There's no way of proving what causes people to harm themselves and no one's responsible for it but yourself. You can't just walk around the world bullying people into being nice to you because you have a noose around your neck. You will notice she always calls it making an "attempt." She will never say "suicide," because this way, people imagine the worst, when really she just swallowed too many meds. If she actually explained what happened, people would feel deceived.

When I was new to TF2, a pubstar ubered me and I panicked and ran into the enemy's little house they were hiding in, killed a couple and destroyed a few buildings. I felt okay about it, but he started yelling at me over the mic, because I missed the tele which was "right there." He made me feel so bad, I actually lied down and cried a little, and contemplated never playing the game again. If I killed myself, should he be held responsible for it? Obviously not. While yes, his harassment is what made me feel bad, I was also being a huge pussy. Me being a pussy isn't his fault. He criticized me for not playing well enough and I took it hard. Relationships go both ways. It's not one person's fault.

If someone mistreated you to a serious degree, you need actual evidence. Hurting yourself is not evidence. Even if you jump off a bridge, it's not evidence. I don't know why you guys struggle to understand this.

>The only shitty behavior everyone saw there was the modus operandi of NijiEN, trying to do the same shit they did with Zaion.
But is stating the truth "shitty behavior"? She got fired, don't you want to know what their justification for it was? It's only shitty behavior in my opinion if they exaggerate the truth or try to manipulate your emotions. I think they did the former a little bit with Zaion and the latter a little bit with Selen, but Selen's done emotional manipulation, too, and no one cares.

The subject of whether the claims are actually "that bad" or a discussion on why things progressed to that point is something no one seems that interested in, probably because it requires too much information no one will agree on. For example, why did Selen ask for her MV to be checked the day before she uploaded it? From my perspective, that looks like her dragging her feet, but dragoons want me to believe it's Anycolor who cockblocked her for a year and a half.

>demanded ANYCOLOR should be held legally responsible.
this piece alwasy bothered me, she is blaming them for something here but she never mentioned it clearly.
she said she wanted out amicably and i do bleive that however anycolor not releasing her immediately makes me think of mysta and coco gradaution. Coco decdied to leave early on the year she graduated, it was like 6 months before letting her go since she still had fes and other events and merch runs coming up until deciding her release date.
Mysta did mention during his graduation anoucement he wanted out since march but still had some obligations in the company to do.
This makes more sense now, she was threating to sue them for a hostile work enviroment becasue it was the only way she could get terminated since she still had some obligations to do that would cost the company money to remove or replace. she probably was already expected to appear in events, cons, merch,etc and that shit is made months beforehand. i recall msyta saying one time on graduation about the luxiem perfume that just came out and he mentioned that was in the works since last year. That is why the rest was able to leave easily, they had no more obligation on the company or were fine with waiting on them on fuflfilling them.
she trying to pull a hero had her in such a horrible mental state that she felt unable to even appear as selen anymore but couldnt gradaute inmediately becasue she still had work to do and according to her she is unable to fulfill it.
That is why her RM was taking comissions pretty much after christmas and talking about money, she didnt want to work there anymore out of her own decision. i dont think she really wanted go to court but threating with sueing them was her only option ot get out of there inmediately hence triggering a termination.

The biggest thing is that it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place, and I'm not just talking about how needing an IP check on your own IP is pants-on-head-retarded.
Management should have been actively involved in the project from the get-go. Any issues with Nina and Mysta appearing in the video should have been caught when the video was first being planned, and that it only became a problem with this final check the day it was supposed to be uploaded show how utterly incompetent if not malicious management is.
Now, to your initial point, yeah encouraging reuploading a video like that is maybe worth a public suspension. I emphasis public suspension because this stealth suspension shit they constantly seem to do is a fucking awful idea that just allows rrats to brew and fester. The public trust in njij is absolutely rock bottom now. We can't trust a single thing they do because they're constantly being deceptive towards the public.

Most of them do it for free because they are retarded.

How double dog retarded are you.
It wasn't until the 25th at 12:29 zulu that the manager responds with their retroactive bullshit. That is where the "meltdown" begins.

see they were talking to her emergency contact, which leads me to believe she was hospitalized during the time negotiations failed. Otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to talk to her emergency contact, as she wouldn't need one outside of the hospital.

Yeah I don't think that would convince me to hang out in that toxic Discord for another 6 months.

Let's just ignore all legal involvement in this. Very compelling.

The meltdown refers to her finalyab. The yab started when she sent the video to management for perms

Except according to the timeline, they locked her account only after they spoke with the emergency contact after being unable to reach her.
That would mean that the hospitalization was in late december, early january at the latest.

Because the alternative is that they just left Selen with access to all of her accounts after she's been making rogue posts and is presumably not responding to them.

she had no projects after the MV

i dont see my coment as defending them.
Niji is a clearly a bad place for slene even if they deny it. But she triggering the termination makes sense becasue otherwise she cannot leave before some obligations she had to do.
Niji PR is a nightmare dont get me wrong but terminating her was the only sane decision there. This girl didnt want to touch the main accounts anymore she was already set on never coming back after the MV failure she faced.

Funny how the pager worked to notify the MV was uploaded, but it didn't work to notify her asking for the final QC

NTA, but we are merely assuming there. It's possible that the Yab started days earlier, which is what made Selen desperate enough to post the MV without confirmation and everything else that followed.
If she really did post plans for Doki merch earlier, then she clearly already had plans to leave.

If anything, that might make the MV troubles even more intentional, if Niji was trying to prevent her from graduating, and assumed they'd be able to push her around, but weren't expecting the lawyers to get involved.

>But she had the perms for over a year
What happened during that year? Why did she ask for the video to get checked the day before she wanted to upload it?

Most of them don't, though. Gibara and what's her name, the mage chick, their numbers are fucking terrible compared to what they were.

I think it's actually this one since yours doesn't have Elira's private discord leak that I've added myself
