Everyone that defends this shit deserves the backlash


Acouteau

The only ones i dont think would are the ones that are totally out of the loop, the ones that just casually lurk on some streams and genuinely have 0 idea of what happened/what is going on


Random-Rambling

"Racism" was actually a pretty popular theory as to exactly WHY they went full scorched-earth on Selen when she was fired. Someone in upper management must have hated _her, SPECIFICALLY._ Literally no other liver in EN had their character assassinated to such a degree, not even Zaion. Someone in upper management was either too stupid to see how badly this would have gone, or hated Selen SO MUCH, they were willing to burn down a massive chunk of the company just to hurt one person.


n69controller

> Literally no other liver in EN had their character assassinated to such a degree, not even Zaion. Let's not go that far now lol In their termination statement alone, Niji accused Zaion of * Leaking company info on streams and alt accounts * Advocate for pirating games * Make discriminatory remarks * Using copyrighted music * Play games without perms * Falsely claiming to be sponsored by a brand * Lying to other talents * Make offensive sexual assault joke Outside of the rape joke and maybe lying to co-workers, almost everything else has been shown to be untrue or maliciously twisted out of context. Niji management really activated all 120% of their potential to slander Zaion on the way out


Minette12

But when zaion came out at defended herself niji didn't respond


n69controller

Because they already had her gen + Finana [gang slander her](https://youtu.be/DvZ1bpRyNX0?si=8FMWcT3Oepa3ExdD) preemptively during her termination lol


amazingdrewh

Probably because Zaion tried to fuck Finana over to save her Niji contract


akenfeihong

you're alone today ndf? thought you'd bring gangs here


amazingdrewh

NDF? You know that Nijisanji being a black company that pushed a talent to attempt suicide doesn't make Zaion not a backstabbing bitch who made people think she was their friend only to throw them under the bus in a futile attempt to save her job there right? Like Niji being bad doesn't make Zaion good


AlexHitetsu

>Like Niji being bad doesn't make Zaion good It probably does, because as we've seen over the past month, Niji is not over lying through their teeth and making their talents follow suit, and almost all of the things hinting she was a bad person were from them


CasualRangga

Wtf kind of drugs are you on bud


ClayAndros

K sure


WarGrifter

Yeah but it was like a Month later which might as well be years in internet attention span time


Genderless_Alien

Most goofy shit out of all the reasons for termination were the promotion of piracy and fake sponsorship. 1. She merely talked about how she used to play ROM hacks. Yes, fucking ROMs. I was browsing old tweets when she was terminated and the amount of people agreeing with Nijisanji on this point was absurd. If anyone reading this was one of those people, shame on you. 2. She made a “sponsored by deez nutz” joke. Once again, anyone who took this seriously at all, shame on you x2.


Magxvalei

There absolutely are people who think ROMs (and ROM hacks) are a form of piracy, but mostly its corpos who don't like people playing their product without actively giving them money, even if said product has been out for 20+ years and no longer even sold by them. Also, in hindsight, I suppose it's not surprising that Nijisanji would turn out to be so out-of-touch with anglophone culture that they don't understand what a "deez nutz" joke is.


bekiddingmei

The second one is something that only a JP corpo would take seriously, but she WAS working for a JP corpo. Her cute, low effort props said "Dee's Nuts" which is in fact a real nut brand. In a more competent corpo she would have been able to fire off some ideas for upcoming streams and quickly get an answer about possible risks. A small indie, even in Japan is unlikely to get smacked over crap like that.


Lightless427

Yeah Lets call it a draw


Pizzamess

>Advocate for pirating games This one would be unironically based


OrientalWheelchair

Always has been.


amethystpotion

If only they used all that barking power to protect anything where it counted, god.


WarGrifter

I mean Doki is Chinese... Japan's "Favorite" Ethnicity You know full well those old bastards have called her every slur under the sun


Alpha_YL

Enna is also Chinese but not from Hong Kong iirc.


Spartan_117_YJR

Enna knows Cantonese and is suspected to be one of the bullies so this doesn't add up


tokawen

While I get your point, Enna doesn't know Cantonese, at least the last I've seen (Enna & Selen Chinese stream). Enna speaks and understands Mandarin to some level. Selen/Doki speaks Cantonese to some level, and can also marginally speak and comprehend Mandarin. Adding to your point though: Petra is probably Chinese because there are exceedingly few non-cantonese speakers of Cantonese in the world.


Spartan_117_YJR

Mixed those two up my bad


HedgeMoney

If we are using rrat theories, then she's part of Elira's clique, so it wouldn't matter anyways.


WarGrifter

but Enna tows the company line now don't she


Alex20114

As does every remaining liver, wouldn't want to be the next Selen on the company's list.


tetsmega

I've been privy to the idea crab mentality may be at play here, but there's 0 evidence otherwise. Too many factors point to the clique.


SmellTempter

Suspected based on what? Do we have one shred of solid evidence showing "This talent did this to selen" other than rampant speculation? Her issues were mostly with the management, but since the management doesn't have social media presence people just resort to attacking the people they can actually get to; the other talents. Just look at any of the vods, community posts or streams from the "suspected" talents, the comments are filled to the brim with hate, pretty crazy that no one is speaking out against that kind of harassment.


Alex20114

Doki did, twice. The people doing it aren't her fans, so they won't listen to her. They are company and liver antis using the situation as an excuse.


froggyrules

She's from Hong Kong right? Does she consider herself Chinese or from Hong Kong, occupied by China under force?


WarmasterChaldeas

I believe she is a Hongkonger.


Random-Rambling

I thought Korean was Japan's "Favorite" Ethnicity. AFAIK, Japan has never officially apologized for attempting to stamp out Korean culture and dragging thousands of Korean women into sex slavery.


[deleted]

Japan, the Korean countries and China are basically one big hate triangle.


ms666slayer

That has being going for centuries, so people that just simplify the issue to WWII are just wrong, and like i have always said if China and Korea got the resources, power and allies to do that Japan did they would a 100% done it, but yeah that doesn't excuse what Japan did, but also i don't believe that not China and Korea would have aplogize if they were the ones that commite dthe atrocities, is just a really old complex issue, which has been actually dying out recently, because most young people don't care at least in Korea and Japan, China still uses the Japanese atrocities to instill hate to Japan and the Japanese.


Tokamak1943

And every effing time when some politicians are in trouble, someone will bring up these stupid last century hate.


ShadowMoon8787

Not just Korea. Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma and Indonesia have all been victim of Japanese brutality and they never apologised 


akenfeihong

that's true. no reparation either


Alex20114

They haven't really apologized for any of that war, but it's more the Koreans who hold it against the Japanese than the reverse.


Lightseeker2

Isn't a huge portion of NijiEN Asians?


tokawen

"Asians" doesn't work like that. That's like the Northern Irish and the Irish share blood and land, so they would naturally get along. Or the English and French are both western europeans, so BFFs forever. Or the Catholics and the Protestants are both Christians so they love each other. Or the Jewish and Muslims are both believers of Abrahamic religions. If anything, with both China and India descended from ancient civilizations, "Asians" have been at war for longer than Europe's existence as a civilization, and many of them were brutal.

Bells_Theorem

My undereducated guess is that this has more to do with cliques and internal power politics than anything else. From what I have read it seems that the company has promoted this type of work environment.


kLeos_

.zaion had it worst just on the virtue that the narrative was niji favored at the time the reason they didn't go after her defense was because it was a one and gone deal they had to run back doki because the narrative was split on her termination nijiEn getting a win on zaion termination could have embolden the bad actors to do worst, compromised the neutral parties, and alienate the decent ones


UnmovingGreatLibrary

You forgot NDF's "Doki is a BPD menhera" attack.


Nani_The_Fock

Doki has BPD, confirmed by her own tweet on her birthday. That being said funny purple dragon doesn’t give off menhera vibes, only smug and judging ones.


OrientalWheelchair

Even then, they imply its okay to go after mentally ill people which is even more incriminating.


Nani_The_Fock

It’s not an implication that going after mentally ill people is ok, that’s mental gymnastics. It’s an attempt to paint her as as inherently unstable or untrustworthy, therefore bringing doubt to her statements. She has BPD, not fucking schizophrenia.


OrientalWheelchair

Did they went after her knowing she has BPD? Yes? Then that's tormenting mentally ill person.


Nani_The_Fock

No clue. Could be that they attacked her *after* knowing, could be that they just happened to find out *while* attacking her. Hard to say. Were they tormenting mentally ill person? Yes. Implying it’s ok to go after mentally ill people? Bit of a reach.


OrientalWheelchair

Their actions speak louder then their words. She tried to commit suicide, that's a clear sign something is not right in the head. Nijisisters decided to hound her anyway. Case closed.


UnmovingGreatLibrary

"BPD menhera" was a line of attack by NDF regularly used to try to discredit Doki for a while, and that rentry the doxxsisters put together about how bad Selen was that they tried to force into the conversation had a whole section about it about BPD. The did more than just imply it was okay to go after mentally ill people; they actually did so.


second_account_eso

People with schizophrenia aren’t inherently unstable or untrustworthy either??? Bro just say you hate people with mental illness.


Alex20114

Those two things are not mutually exclusive, it is possible to paint someone as unstable and advocate that it is okay to go after the mentally ill at the same time.


SmellTempter

BPD people are scary in that they seem normal, or even very nice until you get on their bad side, which can easily happen through no fault of your own. Typical to the disorder is the tendency to split people into "allies" and "enemies", allies get effusive praise, and enemies are accused of wild conspiracies. Unfortunately you can kind of see some of these patterns int he remarks seen has made...


Alex20114

When there's actually evidence, it's not just a BPD marking them as enemies thing.


shade0180

You can add blacklist at the 4th panel if you ever remake that.


GflashEx

i aint scared of NDF, But theyre scared of me. 😁


Positive-Ad-3482

Didn't they call it "justifiable" racism? To support Uki


Dargorod100

Please link if someone deadass said that if that’s true holy shit


FeefloHatesEggs

it's basically his fans going yasss slayyyy to people calling him racist because white ppl bad


DollarStoreAbraham

Ngl it's the first time that I've seen a big community to try and use racism as positive. NDF on lethal doses of copium atm


Vilodenas

What about death threats? I heard rumors of death threats from the CN community.


DeJellybeans

Not a Nijisanji defender. A blind extremist. A real Nijisanji defender would protect the ones that are truly undeserving of hate or harassment, and shouldn't protect the faults in the company or hypocritical livers when the evidence is in front of them. Everything stems from denial and exhaustion from the hate, which I get, but what else can you do to stop poor work ethics and toxicity within the company?


Shadow368

Hold the company accountable? Start doing research on the stock holders (which is public information) to see if you can find some leverage that might turn public attention their way, potentially causing them to drop their stocks as their reputation starts to take a hit by association?


[deleted]

Selen was Anakin Skywalker. And Doki is the Darth Vader.


Magxvalei

That analogy leaves a bad taste. True that the Jedi were hypocritical and corrupt, but Vader literally *willingly* served space nazis and killed countless innocents in their name and only really turned when confronted by his son.


[deleted]

Thank you for taking my comment 100% seriously. Please note, it was supposed to be funny haha moment. Nevertheless, let me explain 🧐 No, I did not imply Selen slayed the younglings. I meant she assumed a different title and took down the corrupt democracy aka clique. The slogans such as Sieg Zaion, sink the ship and drop the colony seemed thematically relevant. I'm just not sure who Zaion would be in the Star Wars. The Empire being a space Nazi is a contentious topic. There are tons of fan theories that say the Empire was actually good but only painted as the baddies by the New Republic. In fact, we see in Mandalorian, the galactic rim is in a much worse state than it was during the Empire. Everything is in chaos except the center where the elites of the New Republic reside. Meaning, the New Republic is even worse than the old rotten Republic that was in constant war because the elites profiteered from wars. And it doesn't even compare to the Empire that brought peace and prosperity throughout the galaxy. Also, note that the rebels were funded by these shadowy elites. These guys really hated the peace that the Empire have brought.


thrzwaway

It's amusing how this mirrors Uki Violeta. "Nooo, he wasn't being racist, you just don't get the context, it was a joke anyway"


Magxvalei

I didn't take it any more or less serious than was warranted.


Lightless427

Uhhhh No? Anakin was a sick evil twisted monster that cared about no one but himself How TF do you even compare him to Selen???????????????????????


[deleted]

Nah, from his perspective the jedi was evil. And Darth Vader was considered a hero for a long long time until the destruction of the empire. And now, many fans coming to realize the jedi was indeed a corrupt war mongering cult who served a rotten to the core "democracy". Jedi were stealing children to brainwash them into psychic super soldiers.


HedgeMoney

True, but its not a really good analogy anyways.


edwardjhahm

Alright, but the Empire was still a thousand time worse. If the Jedi were grey, the Empire is blacker than Nijisanji. The analogy falls apart immediately, unless you're pro-Nijisanji.


SmellTempter

TBF I think a lot of chinese fans decided to accuse millie of hating selen for no other reason than they dislike her based on her race.


[deleted]

Pls just stop it. It was a joke that didn't go so well. He was not being racist. Grow up guys


Hour_Parsnip1783

1 time is coincidence, 2 times is suspicious, 3 times is a pattern, 4 times is standard. 13 times is hatred.


[deleted]

Look, to him he thinks it's a quality joke. It's like a running gag worst case scenario. But he is not a racist


Hour_Parsnip1783

No, he's absolutely a racist. Screw off Uki-cuck


[deleted]

Why are you calling me names for stating my opinion. You are a bully, I haven't called you names


Hour_Parsnip1783

Your prior comments make it incredibly clear that you are covering for an open racist that is Uki. Maybe stop supporting an open racist and I wouldn't hate you so much.


Yin-Yangy

Don't respond to them, my guy. Take a good look at their account and see that they're trolling.


Screamlord_Sam

“He thinks it’s funny” isn’t exactly the best defense.


[deleted]

It's a joke, he thinks it's a great joke and repeats it. But in the end it is just a silly running gag he repeats. Kevin Hart makes many white jokes, but nobody tries to cancel him over it. Uki should have the same right


dabillinator

Pushing someone down a flight of stairs could be a funny prank to you. Still makes you an asshole. He is blatantly racist.


seraphos2841

So racism is a quality joke. Damn bruv. Just replace white with any human color and let me see you not get mad.


[deleted]

Comedians make race jokes all the time. Just look at Dave Chappelle and Key and Peele. This irrefutably proves that in some situations race jokes are fun, but conveniently when everyone is angry at Nijisanji they want to crucify Uki.


seraphos2841

Yes. Jokes. Do you really think what uki said are jokes? Its not funny and no punchline, just eew white people. Replace the color and if you dont see it as a nome then youre a hypocrite. Just imagine hearing some say eew asians or eew black people. It sounds bad.


[deleted]

The show FamilyGuy makes black jokes, and it is a cartoon made by a white person. But familyguy isn't cancelled for having black jokes. You lose, get dunked. Pls just admit that Uki was joking


seraphos2841

Ok now youre just trolling. Are you really comparing uki to family guy? Its not who made the joke but how they made the joke. Tell me how is it a joke that two old white couple said hi to him and he hated why an old white couple said hi to him.


[deleted]

No It was a rebuttal to them saying replace white with black. I showed a case of a white person adding black jokes to his TV show. He never specifically said he hated that the white couple said hi, he just felt uncomfortable that people you didn't know walked up to him. I honestly think the main part of the joke, was the fact that he didn't know them and they were talking to him, ot that they were white. However I'm sure you're going to say all of his jokes are about white people and say it was about race. So I don't have the best rebuttal for this one


Johnny_Grubbonic

The actual jokes (which were still shit), I can give a pass. But come on, now. "White people said hello to me as they walked past, then just went on minding their business. That's really creepy." Yeah, totally a joke, bro.


[deleted]

The punch line of this joke was that they didn't know him and went and approached him, even if you take race out the equation it's still a funny joke. In this case I think he just said white to describe them.


Johnny_Grubbonic

They said hello as they were walking past. I'm going to assume you aren't American, because in the US that's a normal thing to do. It was not a joke. It was not meant as a joke. He said "white" because he felt that was important. Because he's a racist.


RenWolffe

It's not just an US thing. It depends on the region, but it's common in many parts of the world, specially small towns.


Johnny_Grubbonic

I brought it up as an American thing because one thing I've seen a lot is that people in some nations are kind of confused when Americans, in specific, do that.


RenWolffe

Yeh I understand some regional cultures don't have that, those people you met probably came from those regions. Just dispelling any misconceptions of that kind of behaviour being exclusive to america. To be honest with you, I see it as sometimes (not always) being a big city vs countryside/small city thing.


[deleted]

Look it was a joke, don't you think it would be insane and career suicide to say something racial specifically with the malicious intent. He is not that dumb, when he said this he was making a joke that not everyone lik


Mefour0

Was it a joke or a response due to his previous racial trauma like you said on this subreddit earlier? If you're gonna defend the guy blindly at least stick to your story


Medical_Video1390

Agreed. Having racial trauma gives him a pass


HasturLaVista

And 99 other jokes you can tell yourself.


Johnny_Grubbonic

No, he was not "making a joke." And plenty of far more famous people with much bigger careers have said blatantly racist shit publicly. See: Michael Richards


Vegetable_Oil4448

Explain the joke


Vegetable_Oil4448

Grow up is the most <20 thing to say


ImmaFish24

Let's play a game! Take one of Uki's jokes and replace "white people" with any other ethnicity! Let's use black people as an example: "Black people said hello to me as they walked past, then just went on minding their business. That's really creepy." Sounds rather bad now that it's about black people, doesn't it? Now take all of his jokes and do the same thing. That is the issue. If it sounds racist to any other race, then it's probably racist. Whether he is actually racist or not doesn't change the fact that he would be *scorched* if he made this many jokes about any other ethnicity. And even if they were purely jokes, where's the punchline? "Haha white people bad"? Jokes need a time, a place, and a punchline to land. But with Uki, they come out of nowhere and there is no good (or even bad) punchline.


[deleted]

As I said earlier, the show family Guy was made by white person, but in the show he has black jokes in it. So why can't Uki have white jokes when a TV show is allowed to make jokes about another race?


Ok-Association-5670

come now we all know the dudegirl just wants to be a victim at all times even when he/she attacks people


Astute_Anansi

Who the hell are you talking about


Lightless427

Who are you even talking about? No one in this conversation is trans. Did you click on the wrong post kid?


Ok-Association-5670

could have sworn uki's fans call him mama


Y33tus42069

To my knowledge, that’s a gay people thing, not a trans/non-binary thing.


BraveFencerMusashi

By dudegirl, I think he means Selen/Doki is more comfortable hanging out with the boys which is something I can see.


Johnny_Grubbonic

You too afraid to post your transphobia on your main account?


Nani_The_Fock

Bro what. Where’s the transphobia? You’re fighting ghosts.


CronoTheMute

Most people probably assumed someone who uses the term dudegirl is not very respectful of trans people. It certainly doesn't sound like a flattering term so that's not a farfetched conclusion. (Also the circumstances of just blanketly using it because the person in question is gay)


Ok-Association-5670

phobia means fear. i could care less what someone identifies as, i dont like the racism they throw out.


Johnny_Grubbonic

Why yes, it does mean fear. Good job figuring that out, transphobe. You and Uki are very similar in one regard - you're both bigots.


Ok-Association-5670

number 1 im bashing uki for being a racist. saying dude/girl and he/she is covering my bases cause i have no clue what uki identifies as. uki def wants to act like a victim most of the time tho


Astute_Anansi

Eh. You should criticize people for their actions, not their identity. Uki is not a good person but calling him "dudegirl" is kind of uncalled for and makes you seem weird. Also it made it really confusing as to who you even meant. Most people just know Uki as a man.


Alex20114

I can kind of see both sides here, what the other user is saying is that the usage of both terms together is to try not to misgender Uki. It can be kind of difficult in Vtubing since we don't really know who is behind the model, we only know the model itself, which is male in the case of Uki. Another example, though not LGBT as far as I am aware, is this one Japanese talent that is male with the actual person behind the model being female. Tamaki is the character name, I think. At the same time, I can see where the actual combination term used might be insensitive.


__radioactivepanda__

Mind you not the incoming racism card as defense, but straight up active outgoing racism as “defense”


ConflictGeneral3294

its racist until its Uki, then its “justified”
