Since the use of drugs in Japan is a thing the goverment really cracks down hard on, the use of the word "aphrodisiac" might be just a way to cover his ass (the person in question, YAB) instead of calling it what it really was (when sharing it with others) in the chat for example. So yeah, when he says he is spiking a drink with and "aphrodisiac"... you know exactly what it was in reality and for what.

[@TehFishey]

Yeah, medically speaking there's no such thing as an "aphrodisiac" that isn't either (a) a placebo or (b) simply inducing an altered state of consciousness. The former isn't something you can spike a drink with, and the latter is... well, that's just drugging someone.

[@christophsiebert1213]

Why would they want to cover his ass? Ignore the aphrodisiac and what he did was already illegal. They would have cut ties with him anyway, and his reputation would be down the drain anyway. So what good would it do to cover this one bit, if everything else is just as bad?

[@Darkja]

@@christophsiebert1213 No, you missunderstand me, HE (YAB, the perpetrator) is covering his own ass by calling it "aphrodisiac" on texts when sharing them to other people. He says he is spiking stuff with "aphrodisiacs" instead of drugs (i edited the comment, trying to make it clearer)

This kind of gets tricky though, iirc there are drugs that have a "aphrodisiac" like effect, without causing a person to go night night.

So apparently Nijisanji had no idea this was happening but like a few minutes after the stream they already conducted an investigation and tracked down everything? Seems more like they were waiting to see how much was going to be revealed before making a statement and they already had this information for a while...

[@signumxmagnum]

Yeah, I wonder why they didn't do a preventive action..

[@christophsiebert1213]

Kore Kore already revealed information on this case days prior. It's very likely they already started investigations there, especially since it involved them already. It wouldn't be too hard to believe, that they then timed their statement with Kore Kore's stream, so people can come directly from his stream and see the reaction of Niji. This is simply business practice. I'm definitely no fan of Niji for what happens since the beginning of this year, but this is just not a Niji L or some secretive plot happening. You guys really have to dial back your mistrust.

[@Cheantry]

Such a case does not belong to public, niji keeping this a secret, war's the right thing to do, after it go disallowed they had to make a statement. We're talking about sexual assault and doxxing it's the right thing to clear things like this a way from public, for the victims.

[@signumxmagnum]

@@christophsiebert1213 So you are saying, Niji purposely waiting for it and then acted?

[@kyle2455]

Its also possible that, during said stream, once they learned names, they had people pull up records, true or false, get rid of him etc etc. Its not like they ONLY start investigating AFTER the stream is done. Plus someone else brought up the point that, they had a heads up of the stream, and even had some photos (blurred but for them easy enough to identify who). So the investigation likely happened prior to the stream. And the stream just helped aim them in areas they may have missed prior. Furthermore, its an issue that pertains to privacy of individuals employed by Niji, if they went out and released everything, they would run the risk of backlash for that, and only released the information AFTER it became public knowledge by others. Still not great to confirm the rumor/dox, but its not as bad if someone else opened that lid first. Damned if you do, Damned if you dont. I cant really blame Niji in this situation all that much. Unless they knew the person was doxing people, but did nothing about it until it became an issue, but so far the evidence doesn't point to that. Yet, idk what else is in the works, could be more, or not. Time will tell.

I thought there was no such thing as real aphrodisiacs. What is it supposed to have not been?

[@michaelbooster2]

​@@greyflotsam7452 yeah, it doesn't exist. It's probably just a way to hide its true meaning to make it look less harmful or could be to reveal his "proud" work and true intention for spiking the drink (you know what i mean). What it really is, is probably a "drug" that usually used by a person with bad intention to spike a drink.

The problem is that the reported wanted effects have been minimal, getting people to feel more like they have a fever than being h*rny.

[@hoppy8008]

Moral of the story: Screen your 3rd party partners, stop this desperation hiring, or you get people like YAB. Also, there have been a lot of creative and technical staff such as composers and sound engineers being exposed for mega sketch actions like this in the past 2 years, sounds like that side of the industry needs to be cleaned up badly like years ago badly.

[@christophsiebert1213]

This is simply bias and hindsight. YAB seemed to be very well-known and experienced in the industry to various companies. Not to mention, it took a whistleblower for this to come up. So how exactly were the companies supposed to screen him for something that was obviously well hidden? And also not to mention that you wouldn't think that he would risk his career for something stupid like this.

I'm not sure how much screen helps, but the rest I agree. A lot of times accusations comes all at once.

Note that the whistleblower decided to take the information public. You should question why they decided it was necessary to do that. Did Anycolor have an adequate internal response when it was reported just to them?

If they wanted to cover this up, they obviously wouldn't post that lengthy notice with legal steps they'll take. Especially in Japan this is rigorously punished. There is also no indication Niji knew of this before KoreKore's whistleblower tweets. You all just assume "Niji drama", because they happen to employ this fellow, as he was employed by many other companies in the industry. YAB was well-known, he had a good reputation. Everyone who says that Niji should have known or do some more background checks, you're delusional and just want this to be Niji's fault somehow. Take your L and accept that Niji had a rare moment of not being shit this year. Simple as that, not more to it. Grow up and overcome your bias. This is also why I condemn this stupid video title. It's sad to see this absolute clown fest of a title just to get views on the negative bias towards Nijisanji. Disgusting. At least in the past, if Niji was put in the title it really was something they did wrong or that directly effected them by what they did. But in this case, there is nothing. Just hate farm.

@@Veep989 Most background checks are just a surface level check on their public profiles and previous work experience and reviews. Of course there will be no detective work or private investigators. This is not only expensive but also non-sensical. As I already wrote, YAB had a very good reputation and track record with his work, which is why he was hired by so many. And the "background check" by Niji was probably just that: Good reviews, good portfolio, was hired by other bigger companies for work. So yh, totally agree. Boiling it down to Niji W or L is not good. We always have to see every situation in relation to the events. This time around, Niji acted as someone would expect from a responsible and accountable cmpany. This is clearly a W. Not a grey area, mixed bag, or some L. They just acted right this time. And we can and should acknowledge that. Doesn't mean we suddenly have to forgive half a year of shit from them.

It was a 3rd party musician. How exactly were they supposed to know this is going on? It only affected one liver (apparently) who may not have reported it. And YAB was engaged with multiple companies that also didn't do anything before this was brought up by a whistleblower. What was Niji supposed to do? Look into the future and just know this guy was bad news? The negative bias shouldn't cloud our judgement here. There is nothing Niji could have done to prevent this. It could have happened in any other VTuber agency YAB was engaged with and it happened to be brought up th Niji, which sucks, but they took decisive steps.

@@WhiteCresentKnight nah it's most likely that they knew about this situation beforhand and acted way before the whistleblower leak. This guy has stopped working for Niji few years ago and some of the talents has came out and said they couldn't work with Yab anymore way before the leak. We are talking about sexual assault, one of the victim being underage. They should've never disclosed the issue in the first place to protect the victim's privacy.

[@HyattHyatt3179]

@@christophsiebert1213 it affected multiple livers. One of them being Gundo Mirei who quit, and Mugi Lenaga, those are the two "confirmed" cases of being spiked. There may be more, and there's also the people in the pictures. We also know from Gundo that he talked sh*t about a lot of her at the time coworkers and trashed their vocals. So it's not just one liver, and even if it had been that would have been bad enough. It obviously isn't Niji's fault if they didn't know, and it's good that they're taking action once they do know. It's also possible that they were already working on it and didn't want to make it public due to the talents privacy, safety, and comfort. Of course you could be cynical and say that they only kept it private to save face, but either way it's not their fault

[@bluedestiny2710]

... his name is just a few letters away from "Yabai!!" or even closer, "Yabe!" O.O

[@KharaChmiel]

It's very simple. Nijisanji doesn't have the staff capacity to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen. I would assume that most other companies send a manager or other staff with a liver/talent when they are engaging with an outside collaborator. I mean, just listen to any of the Holo girls or guys talk about in-person events and stuff. Always "staff-san is here, manager-san is doing this". This is industry norms FOR THIS EXACT REASON. If the liver had had a manager/staff person with them during this collaboration with YAB, then 1) there would be more chances that the manager would see YAB taking photos, 2) when the talent started to act weird due to the spiked drink, they could have pulled the plug on the event, and 3) YAB wouldn't have felt so secure about taking photos/videos/spiking a drink/possibly assaulting a girl against her will if there were more people there. This is a disgusting situation that this liver has been put in by an outside collaborator. But let no one forget that it's ultimately Nijisanji who put their liver in danger.

[@pinguwingu7690]

I think this mostly has to do with having so many livers. I mean that’s why they had the controversy with hiring under paid students as managers right? They just can’t afford to hire that many competent managers for the amount of talents they have.

[@KharaChmiel]

@@pinguwingu7690 Yes and no. They CAN afford to hire that many managers, but that would then mean that they have to invest in the company instead of maximizing their profits. We've seen many times in investor calls with Anycolor that they don't care about their livers; its all about the bottom line. This is what Cover is famous for in it's investor calls; Yagoo goes "our talents are our most important asset and we are going to pour money into making them shine". You get what you pay for; or in this case, you get what you DON'T pay for. Nijisanji refuses to invest large amounts of capital into their talents and the infrastructure surrounding them. They have too many talents because they grew waaaay too fast; see "accelerate" meme, and they didn't carefully also build up their infrastructure at the same time. Nijisanji is still partially to blame here.

Niji may still be in the wrong, since it had apparently been going on for a while, and Niji only acted when it came to light. If one liver reported it and niji said whatever, they still take the L because they could have stopped ot, amd only decided to when it hit Twitter.

[@akiekokos601]

@@orbitalvagabond7371 This whistleblower is a former employee of YAB's company. If that person were to mention this directly to YAB, it would only be hushed up. I think he leaked it to korekore at the same time as Anycolor. korekore is a pretty hated drama tuber in Japan, but it is also true that many people come here for their drama. (The accusation streaming had 130,000 viewers.) So, by issuing a statement immediately after korekore made the accusation, it helps a lot of people to understand what is going on. And most importantly, it would be important to note that Any Color did not directly mention YAB's name. In other words, it was korekore who published YAB's name, and Any Color only spoke of him as the person mentioned in that streaming. This successfully removes any cause for defiance from YAB to Any Color for defamation.
