Not just Vic. Chuck Huber, Todd Haberkorn, and Quinton Flynn, too.
Huber (the voice of DBZ's Android 17 and Yu Yu Hakusho's Hiei) was thrown out for defending Vic at the trial. Once out of voiceover, he decided to make his conservative views a LOT more public, a la Chuck Woolery.
The more I see rotten Vtuber agencies, the more I realize Motoaki "YAGOO" Tanigo seems to be a genuinely nice man, and that Hololive deserves the popularity it has.
God, I hope there are no skeletons in Tanigo's closet that will be revealed later...my favorite pro wrestler was Chris Benoit, and then he murdered his family.
I'm not super into vtubers so I had never heard about this whole fiasco until 5 minutes ago on discord. However, it does sound like a typical big business fuckup by someone really out of touch with their customer base, like the bud light shit or gillette.
Lmao nijiniggers get fucked yet again. The funniest thing about this was the futile attempt at fighting back by the Nijisanji Defense Force staffed with JP simps, who have no clue how to deal with terminally online westerners. JP Twitter users are like 3 tech levels below westerners when it comes to pointless internet discussions.
The EN side got a new head of overseas talent in about Jan 2023 who was only in the music industry. This explains how they dealt with Zaion just as poorly. Previously the EN manager was an Indonesian guy who seems to actually like vtubers. The JP side upper management just cares about the money and investors.
I was planning to make a post about it just because even if it's a vtuber talent management company, the level of self destruction a company can do to itself is mind-blowing.
But everytime I plan to, MORE fuel is fed on to the fire by Nijisanji THEMSELVES! I might make one still end of this week as this train wreck still has more trains coming in to join the pile!
Maybe they are going for being the first company to dig to the other side of the Earth? The hole they have dug themselves into is already pretty deep and getting deeper by the day.
Either the JP side let the EN side get overtaken by power tripping assholes and a mean girls clique due to being incompetent cheapskates, or the JP side is in it and they are going full character assassination on Selen because they do think their employees are expendable and they got really mad she would threaten their bottom line like that since the IP is all they care about, and I don't know which one could be worse.
The scheduling of the liver's announcent is the smoking gun, imo.
Given that some of the tweets the talents supposedly made use the Japanese apostrophe, indicating the management posted for the talent, I'm guessing the JP side management is in on this.
I think it's interesting how The timing of everything lines up. In the months leading up to this Niji EN lost basically all their big guns whose popularity could have buoyed them. I don't know the numbers, but wasn't Selen basically Nijisanji ENs biggest remaining name? Seems shortsighted not to predict that she might be more popular than what's left of the company.

The money makers in this industry are women, and they know it. The usual hazards of depending on women apply and are amplified.
So, yeah, catty jealousy, drama manufacturing, and malicious compliance are all very female traits and get to run wild in this kind of environment.

I would also suggest Depressed Nousagi on YouTube if you desire additional context for this mess. Hell, even SomeOrdinaryGamers has a take on this.

They have been bleeding talent for almost a year now. There is something fundamentally wrong with how they are running their business.
I dunno if it's exactly this, this particular company seems even more retarded than what you would usually expect from a big corporation.
