Big PC case manufacturer backed by one of the biggest PC builders in the US.

>>68443952
When they said negligible they meant that going forward NijiEN would have a negligible amount of sponsors

>>68444233
The company who just took pre orders for many many 400 dollar computer cases with Niji member art and the like on them, so they just really fucked over Niji since they were probably looking for a nice payday given the pre orders sold well

>>68443952
I will now consider Hyte for my next build

>>68443952

It's like an all-out war!

>>68444341
I hate to ruin your joke anon but that's a Boeing and it's Airbuses that say "retard" when they land

>>68443952
It would be funny as fuck if they released a doki case

>>68444096
>>68444126
It's night in Japan but I guarantee the stock is taking another dive bomb when they open later today. I would not be surprised if the Code Geass is now in danger too.

Seemed pretty easy to me, happened within hours of the IR document

>>68444341
ACCELERATE

4 hours until the Dokibird case gets announced

>>68443952
I think I'll get a nice HYTE case now. Especially if they release dokibird one.

>>68444488
>>68444603

uh-oh stinky

>>68444663
that is such a slick move, marketing geniuses

>>68444681
Possibly.

>>68444680
ah, but anon, what youre seeing here is competent PR announcement

>>68443952
I will now buy from your company.

>>68444663
Damn, niggas are fast af. The hyte team is super cool, I've seen some videos about them and their R&D lab in TW

>>68444663
Incredibly based Uno reverse card PR move.

>>68444680
They were probably not making a lot of money off of the partnership anyways and used this as an excuse to get out.

All of this could had been avoided if Niji just let her drink her last cup of coffee.

Awww shit, there's no doubt now Anycolor has to do something, one thing is the LBGQET retards with their small insignificant shops trying to "cancel" Niji and then there's this, an actual brand giving them the middle finger.

>>68443952
SINK THE YACHT

>>68443952
Based. But from a business perspective I'm a little confused about why you'd bother doing this. I'd expect sponsors to exercise caution, like at least waiting until after the doki stream to gauge whether public opinion shifts or stays the same.

>>68444663
And Doki just tweeted about getting a manager who already told her a PC sponsor was possible
They're gonna announce it by the end of the month, watch

>>68444341
TERMINAL VELOCITY

>>68443952
Reminder: there is no damage being done to the Anycolor brands.

>>68445023
One partnership cancellation usually leads to another in these kind of scandals so it might not even be over yet

>>68445070

It is a good calculation. From their deal with Nijisanji, they have already exhausted their exposure to that demographic. And many Niji fans support Doki, and now there are tourists hearing about the drama, so they are increasing their exposure by jumping on the hype train when it is still hot.

>>68444663
this isnt a PR move this feels personal. the ceo is probably a dragoon

>>68445135
I'm stupid, what are their brands???

>>68443952
But guys, I was assured by Anycolor management that the financial impact would be negligible

>>68444402
>Even already preorder ones are being refunded
It's super fucking over

what do you think hurts riku more?
the potential lost millions from stocks that could very well keep freefalling
or the thousands of dollars he'd have made from this deal that'll lead to no other western brand wanting to work with them?

Aren't the already cases made? That's a lot of money they threw away

>>68445478
Those are both pretty bad

>>68445478
Don't forget the buyback, the money they just dumped doing that is more or less equal to cover's studio. All of that just went down the drain.

>>68445498
You don't understand how pre-orders work, do you?

>>68445498
they're gonna make bank on Dokibird cases

>>68443952
I dont know much about Japanese business but, if they're on the stock market is Riku beholden to a boardroom? This kind of fuckup incompetence can lead to a replacement cant it?

>>68445498
It's only a preorder, for my CTW keycaps I ordered them in like May and only got them in November. They're made to order and then shipped out so no material cost was lost.

>>68445478
I think the worst is just the reputational damage from within the vtubing community. What up and coming vtuber with talent is ever going to pick Niji now? The only people applying will be people looking to get in, generate some clout and get the fuck out.

How big is Hyte? The cases are made to order so I can't imagine they'd lose that much over this. Ultimately if this leads to Japanese brands cutting ties with Nijisanji then that'd hurt, but I highly doubt it. Riku might have to naked dogeza in the next investors meeting though.

>>68444126
>NEGLIGIBLE
>FINANCIAL
>IMPACT
Nijisanji was confident this scandal would disappear in a few days because Japan is a dystopian nation ruled by corporate bootlickers. Management believed that western sponsors would be okay with them firing a liver that was almost bullied into suicide because she didn't follow their activity rules.

The hits keep coming. Literally all you had to do was let her have her Last Cup of Coffee cover, you stupid gook.

>>68445286
They seem pretty personally invested in their collabs, they showed up to Ame's last SC reading stream when she was showing PC builds fans were posting and said they would buy her birthday merch.

>>68444233
One of the biggest PC case manufacturers, specifically the one that does a ton of vtuber collabs including all the Hololive cases and was soon to be Nijisanji cases, but not anymore.

>>68445746
The guy did or Hyte?

>>68445720
They're a subdivision of iBuyPower, who I am sure you are very familiar with.

>>68443952
Game perms are probably next.

>>68445478
I think them telling vtubers
>lol you literally don't matter
in a PR statement is the real killer desu

>>68445478
While I do think the drama is real, warranted, and significant, I don't think Riku gives a fuck about any of it. I think he's been prepared from the start to just completely ditch the branch if things get really bad.

Remember that the korean branch exploded over bullying too and they just unceremoniously departed the region.

>>68445733
I want to fuck the orange bird.

>>68445286
They've probably had such a bad experience dealing with Niji management that this just ended being a slick excuse to get out of their agreement.

>>68443952
I would say I feel bad for the loss in revenue Elira and Rosemi are gonna experience from this but Niji probably doesn’t even give them any.

>>68445937
He can't keep cutting off branches, companies and investors will just fuck off since it makes it look like he has no idea what he is doing

Ohnonononononono>>68445937
nono…

>>68445070
free publicity AND good PR when they announce the doki collab

>>68445971
yeah

>>68444663
I’ll buy one unless it looks like cancer

>>68446050
Talents, too. Like who's gonna work for a retard who'll put you under the geas of a 60 IQ street shitter, let you tread water for a couple years, then close the branch?

>>68445855
It was a HYTE Youtube account, no idea who was behind it, but they were paying enough attention to go to SC reading that didn't have anything in particular to do with the cases until Ame brought it up.

>>68445937
You're forgetting that investors care, the majority of Riku/Niji's guidance in the past several quarters was about how overseas they were expanding and thriving.
Having recently dumped NijiKR, ID and their lynchpin EN completely teeter out AND mishandle the firing of their largest liver makes the company look weak. This on top of the allegations of inability to perform standard contractual obligations such as NDAs and payments to external groups makes them look incredibly inept (read a poor business investment with poor leadership.)

Having these larger sponsorships start pulling out is a signal for future ones to continue - silently or otherwise. Expect to see the stock continue to dump and hurt Riku where it hurts, right in the yacht.

>>68444341
ALLAHU AKBAR!

>>68445720
Hyte is one of the bigger case makers and handle a ton of the Vtuber collab cases, they do the Hololive ones too. Also they are part of iBUYPOWER who are massive, probably the biggest premade/system integrator in the US/West.

>>68446050
I mean, he kind of doesn't. He's a rich kid who got very, very lucky and is just running his luck into the ground.

>>68445070
Dude, the opinion was already extremely negative when they released that character assassination termination.

>>68445733
even if they couldn't be bothered with that, all they then had to do was put out a statement saying "We regret to part ways with Selen Tatsuki who played a huge role in our success. We shall be undertaking an internal review to investigate and address the concerns raised by her". Hell, bring in an outside party to do the review to avoid allegations of a cover up.

>>68446515
Basically they had to be anything except critically retarded. I always love these corpos who don't 'get' the internet. You get two for flinching.

>>68445690
If they still have opening, many ID and other SEA vtuber would still want to apply

>>68443952
ACCELERATE

>>68446675
Well good thing they still have those over SEA branches like the ID and KR ones!

>>68446515
And this is what Selen wanted, she asked to graduate on neutral terms. Instead they went for a character assassination and shot themselves in the foot.

>>68444402
>>68445348
From a business perspective this is as good as confirmation that HYTE is investing significantly in Doki. It's one thing to terminate and cease production of something while honoring preorders for that product. It's another thing entirely to have tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales in the bank already made and then give that back. It's the double shot of giving up money that you have in hand AND pissing off customers who were excited about that product to the tune of $300-$400.

>>68445937
the dipshit had the genius idea of making a specifically targeted statement against an individual person while also saying
>guys don't panic
in the report that goes directly to stakeholders
it's PR 101 to literally never ever ever ever EVER say don't panic to them let alone like that since all it does is make them think somethings happened which causes damage

see: muskrat

and i just a normal Y60 last year...

Who cares. This is just Niji's version of the China fallout. Hololive lost ASUS and other gaming brands as sponsors because of it back then. The Niji Jap fans are going to be like us and see westerners in the same way we see chinks; as being troublesome retards. They are roasting Selen on twitter and sukikira. She is their Artia..

>>68444782
Hold on for a little longer. A Dokibird collab case getting announced at the end of this month or the next one is pretty much a guarantee.

>>68444341

I like these because boy of boy people have been cherry picking Japanese comments like this and posting them here for some reason.

>>68447193
All of Holo's fans were united in hatred of the Chinese. Niji does not enjoy the same sympathy.

>>68445478
Probably hurts his ego which is worse than losing money once you're in the yacht tier.

>>68444663
they only way they could fuck this up is be making it a Y40

I wouldn't be surprised if Riku "graciously" steps down while also being given a golden parachute ride and a golden yacht.

>>68445498
They probably just lost the money that was spent on the design and marketing.

>>68443952
God if this happened to something i wanted i would be livid

>>68446926
But how are they going to get the money back? i don't understand i am asking this question sincerely not all doi fans are going to buy a pc isn't it more likely that they will make money selling 3 fandons than 1 ? someone from marketing explain to me.

>>68444126
Is NFI the new nothingburger?

>>68448017
There's already people buying the holo cases after they announced this.

>>68444664
who knew NijiEN management would be anykuro’s MCAS

>>68448834
It's just a case and keyboard caps right? A standard sized case can basically house all manner of PC guts and then some. Moving an already built motherboard and other simple parts is also trivial if you've built it yourself already. Also it ain't all about the money spiderman, it's about sending a message. I'd also be willing to bet that a Doki collab will get at least twice as many sales as the enna one did.

>>68447193
I can cherry pick stuff too.

This isn't their fucking business. Just like how westoids have no business criticizing muh unicorns and muh idol culture in japan, elevens have no business criticising what we do with our vtubers.

>>68448786
Maybe Japan should make some gachas worth playing lmao, this bitch can keep crying until then

>>68448834
It's entirely likely that they could sell more preorders for doki cases than the other 3, but even if they don't the decision is likely not a financial one. HYTE is personally invested in the industry. I don't think that selling chuuba-branded PC cases is a massive part of their business. They do it because it's financially viable and they want to.
There's also the strong possibility of a long term partnership between them which could bear more financial fruit for both of them than any relationship with Niji would've. Whether it's a marketing thing for HYTE, merchandise collab deal, or maybe even them starting some kind of agency. There's lots of possibilities there financially that you open up by siding with Doki over Niji.

>>68444663
BIG IF TRU

>>68448834
Publicity. More customers who have never heard of Hyte will become aware of the brand because of this. This drama has long since reached people outside of vtubing.
They lose some money from the FamElira, Rosebuds and Aloupeeps not getting their cases. But they gain good will from those customers who are then more likely to buy a future Hyte product.

what is hyte

>>68449863
Its okay, i know the search bar is scary, but i believe in you!

>>68449811
They could very well be Doki's first sponsor and make up what they lost and more just from people supporting them in appreciation while this is still a big topic.

>>68449993
i failed

>>68443952
Damn, they are taking turns to kill Niji EN

>>68449863
Read the thread retard

>>68449863
Google is free, you know that right?

>>68448834
Its marketing anon.
If we're assuming this decision is purely business, which i doubt it is, they are risking it to advertise themselves to a much larger amount of people.

To put into perspective: With the 3 cases they have X amount of customers, all within niji only and also a fraction of the fanbase of the 3 chuubas.
By making this move, they lose out on potential sales with those fanbase by having to refund the preorders, but in the same stroke they are profiting off this wave of attention from Selen's termination by advertising their stance to a lot of eyes watching the situation, while selling themselves as the good guy. Simply by the fact that there are now more people knowing that they exist and are selling vtuber cases, they suddenly have a larger pool of customers, even if they lose some guaranteed sales. Companies do this all the time, its what the virtue signaling is for.

But again, id like to point out that this is purely business, the head guy seems like they do care

>>68448834
Collabs are a publicity thing more than anything, it's about crossing userbases. As long as both sides agree not to damage each other's reputation in the process

>>68445478
the worst hit is that they cannot pump out more waves on NIjiEN anymore, they will be a guaranteed failure after all this fiasco, so they've effectively been stagnated from their growth, that means that all the remaining talents that dont graduate/get terminated are irreplacable now.

But to be honest, it's likely that Riku will just axe the EN branch all together and absorb into the mainbranch whoever are left.

>>68450193
>With the 3 cases they have X amount of customers
3k maximum, they allotted 1k orders per case, and that's assuming they were actually going to sell out. I'd expect them to make up the difference pretty easily with the free attention and goodwill they've gotten.

The brands pulling out is relatively small cost but it's that stuff that catalyses investors into selling and shorting. A talent agency's IP is all it has and if it's so in the toilet that people won't work with them, you can't exactly tell investors there's a pathway to growth

>But how are they going to get the money back?
They won't, at least not from the prebuilds alone. This is 100% investing into marketing + maybe a little personal spite thrown in. Also depending on the contract, it could be that niji was taking a cut of all finalized sales from them, so them just refunding it all = fuck niji, at barely any expensive for them. Since the rest of the pc seems pretty stock with prints that can be done by order if they have the machines inhouse.

>>68444663
Finally, people actually adapt at good PR

Goddamn, that is kind of a good description of western autism.

>>68451534
I followed the news but the two anime girls they got weren't a last minute replacement. Asus had conmissioned for figurines and even rebranded the TUF laptop line into the white anime girl.

>>68451973
Can ya link? Curious to see the various JP netizens chime in on the massive dip in popularity of NijiEN especially if it's framed by the health of the stock and investor trust in general.

>>68450193

Also, the "negligible" announcement is them pouring gasoline to the fire, which is telling to not just them, but EVERY NijiEN sponsor "welp, we are retreating to JP and leave all of you holding the bag because NIPPON STRONK, PS Fuck You". So, this is the perfect opportunity to write NijiEN as a loss and still get some good will for it.

Might still be "negligible" for Anycolor in the grand scheme of things, but it's definitely pretty devastating for the EN branch itself. You think they're try to save it at all, or just write the whole branch off as a loss?

>>68443952
Rosemi didn't deserve this, but I understand.

>>68452423
Now her and Enna can finally gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss on their burning pile of garbage.
Atleast for a month until upper management disbands the entire branch LOL!

>>68452352
Don't care about anything about the livers, the post or niji, but had I bought one the cases, certainly I would have liked to get the case instead of getting a refund, storm be damned, they looked real nice and would have made for a cool collection item AND insurance, like Rushia's ring lol

>>68452846
Saving it all would require them to try, so it's probably just going to be folded into the main branch and officially neglected

>>68452846

>>68454577
Nothing's been announced so far, but the seemed to really like doing Ame's so I imagine they are interested in more holo collabs.

>>68453035
I like 2's attitude.

>>68447193
>They are roasting Selen on twitter and sukikira.
Nijisanji shills are doing that since the vast majority of their money and livers are in Japan so that is where management is doing most of their damage control. Their employees can than post screenshots on /vt/ to gaslight the EN fans. When this scandal is even affecting their stock price they would do anything to shift the narrative.

>>68455059
Here's one with japanese text

>>68454975
They did Bae Mori and Kronii before Ame, I have no doubts they'll continue to do more

>>68455059
>The Japs even do Let's go! posting
Holy kek

>>68454288
They'll probably start making moves soon to mitigate the impact on the report for next quarter, we won't see impacts on the current quarter's report though, it's coming up too soon for it to really do anything

>>68455207
Yeah, meant it more like, they have a trend of doing them and still seem very satisfied with the latest.

>>68452846
Considering niji's history with other branches, it won't surprise me to see a sudden mass graduation of all EN livers

>>68443952
Don't care! Wasn't gonna buy a Niji case anyway. WHERE IS MY FUCKING IRyS CASE HYTE!!!!

>>68455324
oh yeah, I was surprised it took so long do Ame's but hers came out amazing

>>68450193
Yeah I've never even heard of Hyte until this shitshow.

>>68455420
they are waiting for the Y90 to exit the prototype stage so they can include a reactive hologram mid-panel with mic speaker combo so i you can talk with your Oshi whenever you want

>>68446515
It's still fucking insane to me that they didn't release such a simple statement. Even if their claims were true, in what world could they expect to come out looking like the good guy while trying to shovel so much blame on her after everything that went on in the past month? How tone deaf can you possibly be?

>>68455420
IRyS is forcing them to design the perfect keycap set to go with it, and every time they try it doesn't meet her standards.

Oh shit, this guy said the magic phrase.

>>68455059
>>68455135
What happens if the stocks dips under 3000 yen??

>>68452849
She was complicit with the bullying her silence speaks volumes.

>>68446290
You know what'd be the funniest shit Yagoo could pull? Just straight up debuting HoloKR and cornering the market even deeper. Imagine Niji being unable to move out of Japan while Hololive is fucking everywhere.

>>68455834
It would be extremely painful

>>68448834
See >>68449054
Positive PR will elevate their other products

>>68455952
That would be a terrible idea

>>68455952
Only downside is then there would be K*reans interacting with the other idols.

>she didn't follow their activity rules
This was always fake. They made up the new rules after privating the video. They fired her because they abused her so much that she couldn't work for her abusers anymore.

Jap black company activity rules are basically 1. Be abused by the company
2. Don't complain when the company abuses you

These rules are illegal outside Japan, that's why BlackColor is having trouble.

What's up with Nijisanji lately? I always considered them to be the official, proper rival of Hololive. Who else is there, if not them?...I guess, Vshojo? Really though?

>>68456307
With Noctyx.

Also, March 1st. Is the branch even going to survive the month of February?

>>68443952
At least that paves the way for a Mumei case sooner rather than later, since I missed out on the Kronii one.

>>68456521
I mean Vshoujo right now is in Hololive's past, seeing as their attempt at a japanese branch kind of failed. I wonder if this amount of power will end up with Vshoujo and Phase Connect being the "dark horse".

>>68456521
Phase connect is the proper rival to Hololive. They have Lumi, the staciest tradwife vtuber in existence.

>>68444663
Selen is Ocean Law-ing niji's sponsors kek, lmao even.

>>68444985
This. A company wouldn't do something like this if it was majorly profitable for them.

>>68452352
>The vtuber fandom is genuinely the fucking worst
We already knew that when you harassed and doxxed your own liver for a bad joke for months

>>68449346
America literally created japan, newtard

>>68455952
There's a reason twitch pulled out of Korea. Their corrupt government makes it impossible to run a business there without tax rape.

>>68456889
The joke will be that nobody in the branch will actually be operating out of Korea, not a single liver or manager will actually be in korea and it'll cause a few months of confusion until people figure out cover's ploy to skirt around the government's bullshit.

>>68445286
Well he did find her alt-account like super quickly. Like he was already aware of it.

>>68452352
I am a grown man who is capable of admitting, yes, i am just here to watch shit burn and don't care about moral justice or whatever. i wanna see some random big company collapse, It's entertaining.

>>68456889
Oh shit I completely forgot about that.
Where else could Hololive expand? HoloAus? HoloUK? HoloLA?

>>68443952
Trust the plan.

>>68457069
every year, Cover will smuggle 3 Koreans into Japan, no one will be the wiser

>>68457158
Why would they expand to those shitty regions?

>>68452352
None of this would be happening if the company they work for wasn't so retarded and incompetent

>>68455668
The Underbite King doesn’t take kindly to women who protest, anon.

>>68444664
THAT'S THE SOUND OF DA POLICE

>>68457158
They could and should have a token non-american in every EN gen moving forward, maybe two every now and then so they can deny the tokenism claims.

>>68455981
>>68456254
Please anons, I want to know what happens when a third of their stocks just vanishes. They already lost like 11 to 13 % of their stocks.

>>68444096
ordinarily i'd assume the EN drama wouldn't actually affect the main branch, but isn't this the sort of thing that investors see and pull out without a second thought?

>>68457555
Take a shower, anon.

>>68457789
...So HoloEn?

>>68452352
don't nijisanji talents make like 2% of every merch?
why does it even matter if this gets taken down they make peanuts.

>>68457832
You need to touch grass. It is never in a company's best interest to give in to retards protesting.

>>68457934
Ah, so that’s what they meant by “negligible”, now it makes sense.

But this implosion is bringing eyes from everyone related to vtubers, not just NijiEN.

>>68458908

They don't really have to smuggle. There are plenty of Korean weebs in Japan already.

NEGLEGIBLE SECOND IMPACT

>>68452501
I feel manipulated

>>68443952
Respect for Hyte brand, other companies that collaborate or sponsor Nijisanji should follow. These companies that give Nijisanji any cash directly or indirectly deserves to be scrutinized for supporting a company that maliciously pushed one of their talents to suicide with zero accountability to their behavior and the fans

>>68445478
The latter leads to the former. Loss of confidence in a brand is a very real phenomenon and results in greater losses for the company. If no one wants to work with you, how are you gonna get new deals? How are you gonna improve your tanked reputation?

>>68444663
Kek. They burned the bridge with Niji just to work with Doki. HYTE CEO must have held a deep grudge against Niji to execute this shit.

>>68456254

>>68452352
nijicope
The artist understands the decision, is probably already paid in advance (unlike AnyColor), and HYTE is willing to work with her again

>>68453035
They're coping.

>>68456555
I should @ the social media for code geass about why they are collaborating with a black company...

>>68445731
aren't we just as much bootlickers, just for cover?

>>68460621
Now that I think about it, I think all of the artists/companies that boycotted Niji must've had some prior grievances with Niji in the past and this Selen situation proved to be the final straw.
The decision to cancel partnerships with a large company like Niji does not happen so quickly.

Some of these are hilarious.

>>68452352
I think being in Niji will be infinitely more damaging to their mental health in the long run desu

>>68445070
> I expect sponsors to wait. (For when people care less).
You're dumb.

>>68461158
Considering the constant issues niji seems to be having with contracts, NDAs and payments not arriving on time and/or correctly, I'm leaning towards them having issues too and having a grudge.

>>68443952
Wait, this is real? Rosemi isn't getting her custom PC case? The one that she got instead of Selen?

>>68445971
All you need to do is be a woman and join the next HoloEN, HoloID or HoloJP wave. I believe in you.

>>68461546
>Wait, this is real? Rosemi isn't getting her custom PC case?
it's real

>>68461191
The funniest thing is that the statement must've been made by JP side and not SEA EN managers so the entire Niji management must be retarded

Bad move by hyte, now they lose the opportunity to work with nijisanji ever again. They could have just kept quiet and wait for this to die down. Selen is playing the victim here, once the truth comes out everyone is going to burn.

>>68457789
If you want a serious answer as to what that tangibly means... well, nothing and everything at the same time. It's a bit arbitrary besides a line some investors might get spooked if crossed. It's like how people might say, "I'll sell my BTC if it drops below $40,000." Although that Japanese poster is kinda shitposting.
But, as an aside, the market cap of any company is a realtime indicator of what investors think a company is worth. That's the minimum it'd cost you to purchase that company in its entirety.
So let's put it in turns of that. So far, the current change from the morning of Monday would imply that,
>DISCLAIMER: I'M RETARDED, MIGHT HAVE FUCKED UP THE MATH, /biz/anons pls look at pic and check what I'm saying
...the situation and the resulting loss of confidence has erased roughly 29.4 billion yen of value from Anycolor, or about $198.6 million USD.
If 5032.T hits 3000 yen, that turns into 53.2 billion yen, or a $359.3 million USD domp.

Oh no, guess they'll have to keep working with hololive and matching the stock of 3 Nijis with a single case.

>>68459562
It would be so hilarious

>>68456804
> Burgers actually believe this
They nuked two civilian centers, and are now trying to steal their achievements. (Seeing as the Japs are now on their way to surpassing the mutts.)

>>68462183
Buddy at this point Nijisanji is about to lose the ability to ever work with Nijisanji again. I don't think getting off a ship that hits an iceberg every other day at this point can be considered a bad move.

>>68458377
wow what a little bitch

>>68445937
JP will be fine in the short to medium term, but all of their attempts to expand outside of Japan turned into giant failures, investors will be pissed.

I think this is a response by some of the more skidish investors but if fans eventually forget about the Selen thing they'll be buying right back in. Gotta see for longer than 2 days

>>68464597
so you mean, sell it high(ish) and buy back low(ish)?

>>68444096
Damn I didn't realize Selen got fired.
I came here over the weekend and asked and she was still here, I can't believe I missed that shitstorm.

There's a lot to catch up on then.

>>68465588

And having a laugh.

This is all the result of Pomu and Finana being whores that invited a male into an off-collab and now their beds have been made and all their bodies will rot surrounded by the fires that their own friends have set.
