/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>54889854
Basically -
> Yuzuki Roa is a rare Niji who's faithful to her RP, one she crafted with a friend who's now graduated
> One part of the RP is ending her sentences with "-deyo," which she calls "魔界訛り/devilworld dialect"
> New debut Kingyozaka Meiro joins Nijisanji.
> Some point after joining, Meiro starts using "-deyo" in her streams despite not doing it in her debut or past life
> Fans notice and start getting on both Meiro's and Roa's cases about it.
> This catches Ichikara's attention, and they, knowing that Meiro never used it in her audition, debut, or past life, request that she stop.
> Meiro claims that it's just how she talks and requests that they release a statement saying that it's natural.
> Ichikara refuses to do it because again, they know that she never used it before and that she's most likely lying, meaning that the statement would be a lie.
> Meiro still refuses to stop using it and instead chooses to graduate, sending out the graduation form.
> Some senpai Nijis get her to reconsider, and she asks to stop the graduation process. Ichikara agrees.
> Upon coming back, Meiro leaks confidential information related to this ordeal to someone outside the company.
> Ichikara notices and tells her to take a small break and think about what she has done. The information is not public yet.
> Instead of taking a break, she applies for graduation AGAIN.
> And a short while later, she tries to cancel it AGAIN.
> However, by this point, Ichikara has had enough of her shit and were reluctant to accept it.
> Suddenly, someone clearly on Meiro's side leaks some stuff to Narukami(vkeemstar).
> Meiro is painted as a victim, while Roa is painted as a power-harrassing menhera and Ichikara as a black company.
> Roa is canceled and starts getting massively flamed by Niji fans.
> Ichikara terminates Meiro immediately since - in their eyes - only she could've leaked it, which is a SERIOUS breach of contract.
> Ichikara then puts out a detailed account of the situation from their perspective.
> Roa puts out the discord logs that show that, back in summer, she reached out to Meiro to try and have a conversation about it, only to get a single wall of text in response, followed by weeks of ghosting
> With all the information put together, the general opinion starts shifting towards Roa being innocent.
> Months later, Meiro('s other identity) releases an ADULT voice drama starring a somewhat familiar-looking agent No. 2535(obvious reference to 2434 — ni ji san ji) of a secret organization called NOA's Ark
> Meiro is now seen as menhera filth and Roa is completely exonerated.
> Narukami is trashed for being a retard who believed a menhera's narrative and did serious damage to innocent Roa's career and didn't even apologize for it.
> Also this is not the first time she did this shit. She once did the exact same modus operandi against NotNoel. Stealing NotNoel ASMR style and pretending to be victim.
This is the initial drama.
The lawsuit shit is as follows -
> Ichikara (now Anycolor), sues Narukami for damages.
> Anycolor is basically trying to set a precedent in court so that people who harass chuubas online can be sued for damages more easily.
> Modus operandi is the exact same as what they tried for ex liver Suzuhara Lulu, where they stop them from streaming for a while in order to claim that "our liver was too affected by the slander to stream, and hence we lost out on a lot of business." (Lulu didn't like repeatedly getting told to stop streaming for an issue she was long used to, which is why she just left Nijisanji).
> Roa is also roped into the same scheme in a lawsuit vs Narukami.
> There's two parts to this.
> First part is to answer the question of "whether harassing someone's virtual avatar is the same as harassing them irl".
> This part was acknowledged by the court in December 2021, which was the last time we had contact from Roa.
> So now according to Japanese law, if you harass a VTuber it's the same as harassing the person behind them, and they can sue you for it.
> Second and arguably most important part is to answer the question of "whether business was lost due to this issue".
> If Roa was cross-examined enough, it would become clear that she'd be long over it, since it's been like 3 years since the incident.
> And it might have revealed that it was Anycolor who told her to stop streaming to build the case, not due to mental damage from harassment.
> Nail in the coffin was probably Anycolor releasing voicepacks with her name on it, meaning that business has not actually stopped and the case is a sham.
Last parts are speculation since the court system of Japan is ridiculously opaque.
