Man, basically she's saying: "We didn't wanted to fired her, but as a company we had to". You can clearly hear that the situation was a huge impact for her.

[@kab5197]

we can even hear the pain in the voice, its not her fault. She just really cares for all of them.

[@duster4441001]

Yup. Terminate no.1 superchat and refund merch seems like the damage really big. I don't think they will do that to rushia unless theres a valid reason like for example with coco, they dissolve holoCN, they also want to keep coco aswell but after coco give good reason to leave, then they had to accept her request. Its not like they can force talent to stay aswell. If things like this happen like how it happen to holoCN, then it might be out of control. More damage than holoCN incident

[@lopsidedanxiety4190]

at this point she might as well be one of the talents with more authority

Well you could say that A-chan represents what most of the company feels maybe. The company is also run by fans so imagine how they feel about it. Must've been devastating to some extent..

[@donkeyy8331]

But that's also one of the reasons she does what she does, she holds a very big responsibility for being the main spokesperson of Hololive, I don't think anyone else in management level will talk about this, maybe Yagoo, but that's it.

[@kojinomaru7429]

i doubt those are her exact thoughts its more like a company statement she cant really comment or express her opinions on this matter

[@RecBuddha]

What do you expect? The company statement is the management level personnel's "response". They aren't going to roll out every person in management to make a statement. At this point we know Rushia messed up and HL as a company basically had no choice but to let her go for breach of contract. If they did not, it weakens every other contract they have with employees and other companies.

[@opportunity-kfpairlines6716]

A Chan gave these words in a very professional manner, yet you can feel she is personally affected by the news. Personally it is a massive relief that her name is not taboo, and both fans and talents will be able to talk about her and remember her fondly

[@Skelyos]

A chan has described herself & been described by the other talents as more of a friend to the girls rather than a "manager" or upper-management. It wouldn't surprise me if, behind the scenes, they're close friends so I 100% believe she is broken up about this

[@Degenerick]

yeah you can hear her voice breaking while she’s most likely holding back tears while doing it

This isn't some off the cuff remark, this is someone being very serious and careful about what they are saying. She's using the kind of Japanese typically reserved for formal business discussions about grave matters.

So basically a scripted message rather than one of heart or sincerity. Honestly I understand that there are certain things they, as a company, cannot tolerate, but I can’t help but feel like Japan’s insane workplace culture had to do with this decision.

We all think that Hololive treats their members as a family but we are forgetting that they are still a company. There are a lot of restrictions and protocols that they need to follow and not just stream. Let's just be glad that this didn't escalate too much and damaged other members. Let's also continue supporting Rushia even if she's not in Hololive anymore, just like how we support a certain dragon.

[@Ani-me2]

it's their loss either way. kicking rushia out is a huge loss. keeping rushia in is also a huge loss. although the company's reputation most likely tanked because many hate them now i guess

Thats why I’m slowly moving away from Holo as the company has such meh restrictions that you’d think that most of the holomem has to walk on eggshells all the time and never really showing who they’re, that and I’m just sick of idol culture at this point.

Being an eastern European Hololive fan is doubly hard right now, and I didn't really hide HOW hard this double whammy hit me. I'll just ask you to trust me that I expressed great support for her and tried to ask as softly as possible. - And while my Japanese is not very good - from what I understood of her reply, she did confirm that they are actively trying to help Rushia.

@@FawnLW Or, if you stopped to think for a moment, they never found out because they never investigated because they decide to trust their talents and, as said when originally supporting Rushia, not giving a fuck or intruding on their personal lives. But really, people would be angry if we found out they monitored the accounts the girls used all the time, or even what they say when out of ear shot in personal situations of their private lives, but now comes the conspiracy theory that they totally knew all along and just used it to fire her when they wanted! How you could twist and spin this into a "we will just fire and fuck over anyone we don't like" is fucking beyond me. If you are so vehement to turn anything half-decent into terrible nightmare fuel without any proof beyond your crazy thoughts, is best to keep away from these news because everything will just turn into "Cover bad". Being critical of companies is not making boogeyman stories at every turn, Jesus.

[@PenguinSebs]

@@MajorLawliet it's almost definitely this. NDAs are very very common in gamedev but a lot of people break them slightly when talking with their family or romantic partner or whatnot. Consequences only happen when them breaking NDAs leads to actual issues that affect the company such as competing companies finding out marketing plans or big leaks happening on the internet

[@MajorLawliet]

@@FawnLW You are literally implying, without basis to actually go off of, that they would have done this simply because it was the right timing and they wanted to. How the fuck is that not a conspiracy? **It's an NDA, you goddamn troglodyte!** What are they gonna say beyond the fact that she leaked things? Say what she leaked that shouldn't have been said to the public, doing the exact same thing they terminated her for in the first place? People gonna love that hipocrisy. What if it's also something bad enough that Rushia leaking it fucks up her image and puts her under more pressure? NDAs are literally part of any job establishment. How come this super horrendous landmine only blew up YEARS after Cover has already been set up? This is something you have to sign just to work with them, **you literally need to read the damn thing and agree with it you absolute dumb ass.** These NDAs didn't materialize now that Rushia has been fired, and (unless you have proof I have no knowledge of) they were agreed to and signed by all these girls "just waiting to fall into the landmine". If the girls have really breached them, then they simply get fired if it's found out. End of story. Nobody forced them to sign it yet they did, they would just be suffering the consequences of their own choices. This isn't a conspiracy to get rid of people they dislike. But sure man, I am projecting. What a mess.

[@wolfamongus96]

@@FawnLW You really gonna question the necessity for secrecy given that the spark for all of this was the leak of private information on stream and the subsequent harassment of Rushia by a subsection of obsessive fans? The need for secrecy is to defend their company and employees from bad actors in the public at large if you still didn't understand. Other than that there is no information, at least in this situation, that supports the idea of that cover is doing shady practices.

[@realNoMee]

I'm glad to see a lot of people in the community coming to the understanding that Cover is not the bad guy for this. A company really can't just dismiss a big NDA breach like this with a slap on the wrist or a suspension just because they really love her. Even though this outcome really sucks and I wish this didn't happen in the first place, I do think the decision reflects well on Cover and shows they are putting the safety and security of the company (and thereby the talents) above monetary gain.

[@popcorn4070]

Yeah, we all got a harsh gut punch and it took a while to see through the tears and the desire to look for someone to blame. I know that, at least for me, I had to read the release from Cover about 5 times to make it sink in. I hope that everyone involved can heal together.

[@XIIchiron78]

A "big" NDA breach? In what capacity? Y'all act like they are Apple instead of some anime girls on KZbin. Cover is free to operate in whatever way they want, including choosing how to enact discipline. If the only cause of her termination is what's already public then this is unacceptable behavior from Cover. Not only the termination, but slandering and sabotaging any future endeavors by Rushia/Mikeneko with their vague and uninformative statements that misrepresent the situation. The sum total of what was "leaked", as far as I know, is fuck all. I want to believe that they made the best choice for those involved, but their history of repeatedly handing down ridiculous punishments for minor transgressions and bending the knee to trolls, and subsequently having it blow up in their face, prevents me from giving them the benefit of the doubt. Additionally, failure to properly educate and train their talents on what is acceptable conduct and how strictly rules will be enforced, as well as provide resources that aid in the implementation of those standards, is also on Cover. This is not the first time this has happened - Aloe may never have had an issue had there been clearer instruction from her manager, and better support in the aftermath. Keep in mind that the talents themselves are generally amateurs hired based on a simple audition process. Expecting them to be universally perfect with no education or guidance is asinine.

[@PenumbraDev]

@@XIIchiron78 In general an NDA breach is an NDA breach. No matter what it is, the company has zero integrity if they don't enforce them. Rules are rules and cover had to enact punishment despite probably not wanting too.

@@XIIchiron78 I'm gonna be honest, there's a lot about your comment I could pick-a-part but it's seeded with so much bias I cannot imagine there would be any point. The only thing I'll say is it's unrealistic to keep someone in the company that disregarded the NDA in the way she did. A person who knows the private information of the company and other talents breaking that trust is a pretty big deal. It's about putting the safety of the talents first. I don't know what you think Cover's motivation would be for sacking the top superchat earner on the entire platform in the middle of a huge merch drop if the breach wasn't a big deal.

[@secondsein7749]

@@XIIchiron78 "including choosing how to enact discipline," You do realize that's the talk of someone corrupt? Choosing how you are going enforce rules when you feel like it instead of sticking on what's established is how order is broken. If they don't enact their rules on someone breaking NDAs, how do you think the other talents would act? "oh she got away with it since she's a top earner. I guess if I become top earners, I would be able to do the same,". Seriously, use your brain apply what you said to other field and see if you would like it then. A judge decided that a businessman that committed a crime could get away with it because he just feels like it that day. Then the next day some peasent did the same crime and then got punished.

The fact that they're going to delete her entire channel on top of the termination really leads me to believe that this incident could have far reaching effects which forced Cover's hand on the situation.

[@markustanbeck9149]

When you write up a legal contract for something, and then don't enforce it - your lack of willingness to enforce what was agreed upon within a legal framework, can be used to argue that the stipulation should be disregarded, if conflicts over the same thing arrives in the future. Cover cannot make a contract saying, DO NOT DO THIS, and then when talents clinch with these points, refuse to follow up on it - unless they want to invalidate the legal defense that the contract provides in the first place, during a later conflict over the same issue. Everyone lost in this case, they didn't want to go through with this, but potentially giving up legal protection from their contracts in the future, forced their hand. Its obvious that this shook up everyone - nobody had planned this, nobody desired for this to happen.

[@spamspasm8183]

People make it out like "Cover bad. Corporate bad. Big companies bad." but to put things in perspective, even friendships work like this. All friend groups will have secrets, inside jokes and things that are generally considered sacred between friends and can be damaging if other people find out. It is fairly common for people that break this trust or become a threat by exposing secrets to be kicked out of the friend group. This isn't just a corporate thing, it's human nature. For those too young to understand NDAs and contracts, let me put it this way. If a close friend leaks your group's secrets to the school's number one gossip monger? Would you still trust them? Would you still invite them to hang out and talk about private stuff?

It's easy to forget that Cover was just a small tech company before starting the Hololive project. A small tech company which was forced into one of the most insane growth spurt ever seen in just a few years. I'm not saying this excuses any of their mistakes, but I think it's believable that they most likely weren't 100% ready to deal with any PR drama that might occur. A tech company doesn't usually deal with grand-scale internationnal PR and overseeing their talents' mental health. This sucks, but as long as they take concrete actions to prevent this from happening again, I don't feel like there's a point in keeping the hate-train going. But that's just my opinion, really.

There's no wiggle room here. Rushia committed a cardinal sin in this business. Cover is no longer an indie tech company. They are a TALENT AGENCY, they are SHOW BUSINESS. In this line of work, protecting the privacy and security of performers is absolutely key, because where there is fandom there is fanaticism. Fanatical delusional fans can become DANGEROUS. We do not want a KyoAni situation. As employees, Hololive performers are privy to privileged information. When Rushia broke her NDA and leaked information to a gossip outlet, her actions sent a message to Cover that she could no longer be trusted with that information. However hard and sad it might be, Cover made the RIGHT decision, the ONLY decision. The company cannot gamble the security of 60+ performers and the company on a mentally unwell employee, even if that employee is their top salesperson. If they kept her on the roster it would also have discouraged other Show Business such as TV, Anime, Vtube and AD agencies from working with them because they take information security very seriously too.

[@duster4441001]
