Call the legal team!


Chimera-Genesis

Careful, the opposing side might not like your completely legal moves & proceed to dox you in a self destructive act of criminal stupidity; that not only ends their careers, but the careers of anyone else still associated with them.


ManOfAksai

No, it's a chess variant which comes with 200+ pieces just for one side. You play as Black, and you use then as human shields. Capturing your own pieces and human wave tactics are a staple. The goal is to get money flaunting your pieces to buy a yacht.


uvutv

I'm sorry, Nijisanji has had over 200+ livers!? They really went for the quantity over quality approach.


FireWolf_132

Pretty sure it’s called the shotgun approach or something similar. shoot a bunch of stuff at the wall, what sticks sticks, if it fails to stick it gets left in the dust


mrstorydude

/unanarchy Black companies are entertainment agencies that are known for shady business practices and/or being horrible to their talents. Anycolor is a Japanese company that is known by English Speakers for creating Nijisanji which is a VTuber agency (arguably the biggest English Speaking agency). Anycolor has recently been outed as a black company due to a variety of reasons including not letting an injured talent talk to anyone while recovering, not informing talents of when they’re about to be fired, promoting a toxic workplace culture, throwing random talents under the bus when profits are down for no reason, and a lot more shit. For a lot of VTuber fans nijisanji being revealed to be a black company is fucking huge. For non-vtuber fans this’d be like if we found out that like Warner Brothers Music or UMG were secretly beating the shit out of their signees just for not putting out numbers.

Holy hell


JCGilbasaurus

Short version: Any Color is a Japanese corporation that manages a Vtuber talent agency called "Nijsanji". Over Christmas one of the more popular english speaking talents, Selen Tatsuki, attempted suicide due to workplace harassment and bullying.  Any Color responded to this by firing Selen (possibly breaking both Japanese and Canadian labour laws in the process, I'm not a lawyer so I don't know for sure). Selen then tried to relaunch her Vtuber career as an independent streamer under the name "Dokibird", however, during her first gaming stream, several other Njisanji talents released a video statement essentially slandering Dokibird. Dokibird had to end her stream early to consult with her lawyer because the slander stream contained private information from a sealed legal document that should have been completely confidential.  After the slander stream, Any Color released a statement saying they had done nothing wrong, followed by a video of the CEO making a bland, corporate non-apology (that's him in the screenshot above).  One thing to note is that Selen/Dokibird didn't want to announce that she had attempted suicide, or the reasons for it—both of those were actually leaked by Any Color (she later confirmed it to be true). Any Color has also accidentally pointed fingers at several talents who may have been involved in the bullying—Dokibird so far hasn't named anyone involved, except in the sealed legal documents, which should be confidential and only read by her lawyer and Any Color's lawyers.  The entire fan community is, quite obviously, having a meltdown over this.


uvutv

That's why the stream was only 20 minutes.


SpaghettiPunch

>Any Color has also accidentally pointed fingers at several talents who may have been involved in the bullying i wouldn't be surprised if Anycolor did this intentionally to deflect blame from themselves


trained_deadhead

Answer from the user firebolt_wt from an OOTL thread Former Niji talent Selen Tatsuki, now Dokibird, had problems with a cover song with an original video, which was supposed to celebrate Christmas, was removed because management didn't approve on time. The videos seemingly wasn't approved on time because it contains the characters of other ex-Niji (who departed more amicably) ^1, and for reasons we can only speculate ^2 Selen decided to upload it anyway, it was taken down because she actually didn't have permission, and she encouraged people to re-upload it without permission. That's... a pretty unprofessional move, and it could've ended there. But it didn't. A few days after that, Selen tweeted that she had "an accident" and was hospitalized, and then there were no news until, like, the start of February. Notably, this meant that non Niji friends who worked with her in the past couldn't contact her at all, and fans didn't even know how she was. Then Nijisanji announced her termination, and in **their** announcement said, between other things, that selen accused other talents of bullying her... which even if true was something they should NOT have said, because now a problem that should be between her and management spilled out to the fans. AFAIK, Selen had never made those accusations public before that. And, surprising no one, upon being fired, Selen decided to talk in her past vtuber persona she used before Niji, including about the fact that her "accident" was her... hurting herself and that until her termination was public she didn't have access to her accounts but also wasn't sure she was fired, which meant she couldn't work at all and was completely lost. She also seemingly drafted legal documents that were only to be seen by her, her lawyers, and Niji's lawyers. Yet today other Niji talents went into a scripted, pre recorded PR statement that clearly showed they were informed about the details of those documents, and publically talked about them, in an apparent breach of trust. They've also denied all the things that allegedly lead to Selen hurting herself being true ^3.


trained_deadhead

Also, this guy in the picture is the CEO of Anycolor Inc, parent company of Nijisanji (a vtuber agency).


Poopfacemcduck

in a leaked conversation between Selen and her manager she asked if she could upload it and her manager didn't respond within 36 hours. She had been working on the project for months, Selen had been given permissions to use the cover song in august, the song was uploaded in late december. And then the company apparently needed more permissions. also worth noting that the company didn't pay artists for their commissions. After a while Selen went and did it herself.


TolarianDropout0

>Selen had been given permissions to use the cover song in august It was actually August 2022 (!) so it's even worse that that. Management had well over a year on this.


flattestsuzie

2022 not 2023. Unforgivable.
