I'm watching the second part of his stream right now. While suing the company on legal grounds in Japanese court is difficult according to legal mindset suing for defamation and privacy violations in Canadian court is more possible. In any case it feels like Doki would likely settle outside of court for her wellbeing.

[@brandonhowell5096]

The privacy violation is only sound in his own words depending on how the non-disclosure agreement was worded as he said wording in legal documents matters in how a lawyer can find a work around for it. Though truthfully seeing as Doki's biggest issue with a court-case would be with the initial reason for her termination as that fall within the Japanese court system which wouldn't be cheap as she would have to hire a legal aid in japan while also having to be present in japan for the court-case. The defamation and privacy could really go either way honestly that one would most likely be settled out the other original court-case would likely be dropped entirely by Doki's side.

[@SeanStrife]

And from what I've gathered about the situation, it's almost certain that this case would be tried in a Canadian court, since the EN branch functions as a shell company for the sole purpose of NOT dragging the larger company into a foreign courtroom.

[@Luminousreign]

They’ll never settle. An extended court battle is stressful for the non lawyers. There is no reason to think they won’t drag it out and hope it negatively impacts her mental well being to the point she quits.

[@ajshell2]

This account by the comms guy on reddit is my current theory on how stuff happened. The only thing I'd add to it that I believe is that the document that Nijisanji got and shared contained a bunch of things that she'd NEVER intend any of the livers to read. Based on her follow up Tweet, it probably contained every little grievance she could imagine. Then, depending on whether you believe Elira/Vox/Ike are bullies or not, they were either deceived by Niji into thinking that she would release it and were persuaded to make the video (if they weren't bullies), or would have gone along with making the video regardless (if they were). Regardless, the most Doki wants anyone to do, regardless of the truth, would be to unsub, stop giving them money, and stop watching. Even as a dude who was introduced to Vtubers by Nijisanji, as a dude who used to hate Khyo's videos because I thought he had an anti-Niji bias, the last two weeks have revealed that Khyo, False, and others were only wrong because Niji was actually worse than they said. So, with a heavy heart, I'm moving away form the Niji community. Thank god that my favorites managed to get out unscathed first.

[@JimmysCubicle]

legal mindset covers all of that and gives the viewpoint from being a lawyer. its a fascinating watch.

[@RWhite_]

Given that all communication between lawyers was in Japanese, I don't think the EN branch has their own legal team, which may explain the stories of faulty NDAs being send. They might have been Machine or AI translated, leading to the mistakes that were mentioned, and I can easily see miscommunications happening when they receive a 'document' written in English. However, they had time, they had plenty of time to figure out what was actually going on before that now infamous "livestream" but chose to double down on slandering their former talent. Unless they just do not give a single fuck about their wesetern audience, and made no effort whatsoever to discern why people were upset and instead thought "Maybe we weren't being loud enough last time?"

[@azamonra]

@@RWhite_ It's pretty clear they don't care about the EN branch, just like they didn't care about the KR and ID branches. We know from Doki and other ex-Niji talents that they get zero budget for their projects or support for events, outside of the EN models getting slapped onto JP events sometimes. That the EN branch likely doesn't have a dedicated legal team is just one more way Niji isn't investing in the EN branch.

[@RWhite_]

@@azamonra Given how little Nijisanji has invested, and the fact that this all resulted from how little they invested, I suspect they may inevitably choose to cut EN as a whole. I mean what other option do they have? Well we know what other option they have, actually investing in the EN branch, but I don't see that happening.

[@Utrilus]

​@@RWhite_ Given the EN branch has besmirched the company name internationally they might. Tho I wonder if outside parties, like governments, would investigate the company based on the drama. I would assume that Anycolor would investigate the situation of EN due to all the drama. Or they might really not care and just leave things be. Only way to know is to wait months probably.

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

As far as an explanation as to why Selen jumped the gun on final perms, it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that her cover of Last Cup of Coffee, with it's themes and wording, _was_ her original "goodbye note", if you get my drift. This would also help explain how everything that followed was so emotionally charged and impulsive from the pr team, given how management knew of her attempt and is clearly smart enough to connect the dots post-event.

[@rachelanderson4325]

That makes a really depressing amount of sense, especially since we know she tried twice.

[@metalteuffel2484]

Or it was going to be one last project before graduating, but kurosanji privated the video. Her telling people to re upload it caught her some flak, probably hadn't heard anything on her request to graduate, and spiraled down further from there. Whatever the case I'm glad she got away from those assholes and getting to enjoy freedom for the first time in years.

I don't think there will be any consequences on the legal side as long as Niji shut up from now on. Doki has made it clear she was done with all the fighting and wanted to move on. As long as Niji stops provoking her, there will be no court. However, the non-legal damage, in my opinion, is far greater than anything a judge can throw at Niji. The reputation and credibility of the company and the EN livers are now at the bottom of a mud pit. Niji is no longer the first choice to new aspiring vtubers. They will look to VSPO, Phase, or IDOL instead. Professional artists and merch companies will raise their guard to the max when working with Niji's future projects. And fan artists, who have been putting up with Niji greedy policy and giving free arts out of their love for the livers, will not be so enthusiastic anymore. And of course, the damage to their stock is definitely not negliable. The investors will be furious. I would say they are the one who will inflict the most significant damage to AnyColor.

as someone who works in big corpo (fortune 50 org), I can attest to the fact that many large organizations actually have some of the worst infrastructure for risk, control, and compliance policy and procedure. this is the reason why most large scale organizations get hit with regulatory findings, if they are a regulated industry, or fines depending on the scope of damage. this is why risk and control self-assessments (RCSA) exist and why corporations hire consultants, such as myself, to create the adequate controls for risk mitigation. this is also the reason why the public is seeing an influx of job postings for control and compliance related work in these companies. but wish the best for all the employees effected by the oversights of these companies.

[@Drakeero]

So, it sounds like in their attempt to pre-empt what they thought was going to be Doki's burn list, they implicitly published it themselves. She didn't publicly call out any other Livers, Nijisanji did that themselves. They told the fans precisely who to go after. Also, it sounds like Nijisanji EN, despite being the literal English branch for dealing with the western markets, does not have an adequate understanding of the cultural expectations or values of both the market and the recruited talent. Instead, they enforce their iron clad cultural expectations (and allegedly extreme even by Japanese standards, hence the "black" rating) onto talent who, because they grew up in western societies, may be incompatible with Nijisanji's management style. Over here, employees are known to push back and/or evade substandard management far more then it sounds like Japanese society considers ethical or acceptable. While Selen pushing her MV by herself is seen as reasonable and even heroic by our standards, that might have been a super-serious transgression to them that earned her a bit of a nasty talking-to from their HR equivalent. So, in addition to possible language based miscommunication between Nijisanji EN and Doki, I think there's a bit of a larger cultural miscommunication between Nijisanji EN and all of us and this might be why there's such a train of incidents one after another. If this was some random Japanese corporation I could almost be sympathetic, but aren't "-EN" branches of these companies specifically tasked with interacting with western culture to avoid those very problems?

[@RobertStoll]

All other EN branches of Japanese agencies have at this point adapted to working with western employees. Hell, not even just employees - Hololive fired Coco and went through something similar - only they learned REAL fast that even if Coco wasn't EN that western audiences didn't take kindly to Japanese politics just axing talents. On occation, they have had to terminate contracts (Mel being the most recent example) but it was done with full communication, after a lengthy investigation, and didn't bar her from coming back long enough for projects she was already in before the termination. Hell everyone was really sad about it, and they made sure to be apologetic and it wasn't at Mel's expense. Niji on the other hand is attempting to hire college grads for cheap to try and take care of an EN branch they don't even take seriously enough to overcome a language barrier.

[@Magnolia-SpiderLily]

This is discounting the leaks WAY prior to the firing of Selen/Doki of abuse, bullying, and cliques in NijiEN, Nina/Matara commenting on the poor conditions and zero interest and support by JP management and the mismanagement of EN (which lends credence to the Elira as middle management Rrat), their behavior towards Zion (throwing her under the bus and template of "rules violation etc"). I think Coms Dude is assuming incompetence completely and discounting simple malace for saving face and their institutional arrogance.

[@papacharlie-niner148]

I don't agree that they are discounting anything. It's pretty clear from the comms dude that even if Niji had the correct interpretation and the document was a tell-all that was about to be released or would be used as leverage, their handling of the situation was HORRENDOUS. And the follow-ups, doubling down, and the liver counter-attack were terrible. No one on either side is disputing Selen's claims of self-harm, so in that context, Niji's actions go beyond incompetence. They seem inhuman in that light.

[@TimaeusShinryu]

Lets see how 39Daph tries to say that the lawyer doesnt really know anything and how an army of corporate lawyers are far better than "one guy".

[@RobertStoll]

My theory is Selen wanted out, lawyered up (for mediation.) In order to get Niji to respond, Doki's lawyers sent them her reasons. Niji freaks, and jumps the gun (termination, preempting bad press, coaching the talents on what's in Doki's deposition.) Only, Doki doesn't go live with her deposition, but a better measured response that is nothing like what Niji was fearing - egg on their face. That doesn't stop people from wondering who (if any) of the Niji talents is guilty and in fear talents/daph go on the offensive long after Niji has realized actually what's up. After all, it's quite possible they blame one or multiple talents and terminate them as well, with none of said talents having an exit strategy. Doki's lawyers said "flinch," Niji did, and the talents (who see the front line far more than management) start swinging basically.

[@papacharlie-niner148]

Well, the double-check part is explained in the comms post. First actor has advantage in a PR he said/she said situation, so kurosanji went for terminate first, ask questions later. But that doesn't explain why the presumed proof of an attempt didn't give them pause. A tell-all is one thing. A tell-all connected to an attempt is quite another. That kind of situation, where the public would be drastically predisposed to be sympathetic towards Selen, would require extremely delicate handling, not the tone-deaf scorched-earth blame-Selen approach they ended up with. Even if their misunderstanding was actually the truth, the way they handled it is unforgivable.

I think they believe that they can just sit back and let hololive and indi vtubers take all the risks and do the hard work of actually developing the industry in the west, ready to swoop in when the profits are highest.

[@Cynicalhamptur]

Oh I totally agree. It does feel like Nijisanji is just treating the EN branch as a side project and only dumping like a small percentage of money to play safe (they are a JP company after all.) Then they underestimated how successful it was and just let it be. Not realising that maintaining that success requires constant investment into the EN management.
