Honestly, despite everything going on I'm just so genuinely baffled over the support given to Selen not just by fans but people she has worked with and friends. It's so nice seeing it? I'm really new in the vtuber stuff and I come from kpop fandoms so you can imagine the shock I am in with how kind people are being. It's so so SO sweet seeing everyone backing her up I have not seen even 1 shitty person commenting crap (there probably is some but the support is gigantic compared to it).
Like how the fuck does Niji think we're gonna believe it was her fault, when everyone and their mothers is saying how kind and supportive and genuine and every other nice adjactive my english as a second language brain can't think of right now. When all the evidence is there proving how shit this company is and how their the ones at fault
Every fan and non fan is backing her up, her channel mods rioted and used her youtube channel to promote Doki, even with one of them under a NDA this is so good to see makes me emotional how good people can be.
The Niji fandom has a bad rep which is understandable, again I come from kpop and was an active fan and Twitter user at the peak of it ik how fandoms can be, but seeing so many of them backing her up and wanting to know if any of their oshis are the bullies so they can immideatly stop supporting.
I'm kinda rambling and repeating myself now but it genuinely baffled and shocked me.
SUBSCRIBE TO DOKIBIRD ON YOUTUBE
I hope the livers who truly are innocent (if any of them were the bullies to begin with, who's to say Niji is that shit and just threw all their money bringers under the bus to save face) will be alright and take some time to gather their thoughts and what they want to do from this I hope everyone can get free from that literal fucking hellscape. Migrate to Vshojo everyone (if the rest of Luxiem actually pulled this I would scream, how funny would that be)

Im not even sugarcoating this anymore, nijisanji is a horrible company who treats their livers like shit. what they did to selen just really sealed the bag for their reputation, they're basically a black company atp.
Terminate her for copyright infringement? Alright. Fucking go ahead, Whats NOT alright is practically shunning away the fact that selen was possibly being harassed and abused by someone INSIDE of the company, and what's worse they implied that it was an affiliated liver AND THEY LEFT IT UP FOR SPECULATION. Which inevitably caused everyone in the community to point fingers, in which millie was a victim of. Everybody started blaming millie, flooding her comments with negative words.
Selen had lost access of her socials on roughly December 26, making her posts from December 28 onwards rather concerning considering the two days of radio silence we had from her, and then following the one month silence.
NOT TO MENTION THE UTTER HYPOCRISY OF NIJI? In the official announcement, it read and i quote, "For transparency,". FOR TRANSPARENCY?? AFTER THE SHIT YOU PULLED?? You literally left us with NO information about selen for a literal month and then started privating and deleting all of her vods and you guys still have the urge to say that you're transparent?
A majority of the livers are taking breaks and/or vaguely commenting about the situation. We can take u-san's tweet, kuro's tweet, and dearsqn's tweet and we can all see them agree that its a rather unfair and unjust situation. Every single one of them is feeling for not only selen, but for their fellow livers as well.
Selen tatsuki, An amazing entertainer who had worked hard her entire career for an awful company, has been mistreated poorly and has been terminated without her even knowing. But please, despite everything thats going on lets keep on supporting our dragoon! 🏆💜

A quick-ish ramble to sort out some feelings.
So... It's only the fifth of February. I don't usually keep to the larger internet, mind you, so I tend to be late to things. But, the fire has spread to my little spot on the internet where I take comfort.
What fire? The fire. That fire. You know the one. The fire of things ever changing, too fast to rest or to even understand. As soon as one thing settles in, it hits you with another and you're left just lost for a while.
I woke this morning a little later than usual. I've been composing or rearranging music in part to make my own, in part to understand music better. It's a struggle, one worth taking, but it eats time—
Anyways. I wake up and check the internet. See the news. Check my mail for rejected job applications. See something on reddit and—
I watch vtubers, of course I do. I'm an out and out weeb, struggling to learn Japanese alone. Anki discourages you within a week of study, though I blame myself for not immersing enough.
I didn't watch Selen. I guess she's Dokibird, now. I'll have to watch her next stream to show my support.
Nijisanji EN is burning. Has been a while, I guess. It's just game to see who's next. Live content is fast at making parasocial connections.
That's the word of post-quarantine media. Parasocial. Creators versus the audience. I say it like it's a fight, because it seems to be. Creators against themselves, trying to keep up good content. The audience, demanding but loyal. The sense of friendship watching the same person for years, though they may never see your comment.
We're all lonely here, in our own ways. Hear someone friendly enough refer to you as "you"—English lacking a plural you to differentiate. Even the streamer's lingo of calling the audience "chat", has this —effect of them pointing at the you behind the screen.
——
Later, as I was working through some backlogged videos, I learn Matpat is quitting. You too, huh? Thanks for all the early Youtube videos, though I fell off after FNAF 3. Feel a bit bad now, since the appeal of the lore has clicked in for me.
I don't know if Youtube/Twitch is a job in the same way accountant is. You know, that boost in popularity and in money. The unease of not knowing how much your next paycheck is.
But, retiring? That isn't quitting and finding a new job. That's... just not working anymore. And I get that he's not really quitting, but you know what I mean—he's not making this his thing anymore.
That's out there. Like, I know Matpat's a dad now. But, I always figured that these folks would retire 20 years or so before me. Like, we'd be balding, guts lapped over our belts when some youtuber had their 40th or so anniversary. Then, they say: "It's the last year for me." And we'd all cheer—we would have proven that internet media production is a life vocation. That with some luck and skill, we could live all our lives as Creators.
But Matpat et al aren't retiring because they've had a full career. They threw themselves into the fire and got tired of it. They're backing off from the internet for health and personal reasons, not because they're too old.
Better this, I suppose, than being asked to leave. Better this, than "selling out" and making worse content.
——
Speaking of "being asked to leave".... I get it now. I get what you were talking about when your favorite creator got cancelled. Because I just learned what my favorite creator has been up to—it's not great.
Compound that. What, for about 14 years? I'd say about that much. 14 years of quality, consistently improving content, near daily. Then, it hits that your favorite creator just did the fuck up of a lifetime and now—
Well, I have to come to terms with it. How am I supposed to feel about this? I'd say disappointed, but I... think I saw this coming.
I won't name names here. Dokibird deserves better, so she gets a mention. Matpat will have fanfare seeing him off—when we cry for him, it'll be out of respect.
This guy? He asked for quiet time, time to do better.
But at the same time, I know if I sit through the old content... I'll hear it. The things that pointed this way. I had the sense that he wasn't just going to put his foot in his mouth, but both his legs in there before long. And he did, massively.
I hope. That's hard word to say. Hope. I don't think I've had much of that a while. I want for him to do as he promises and be better. Apparently, other people have done the same.

Apparently, the drama tubers have gotten their mitts on the guy. Vultures, the lot, and so are we. But I don't watch drama tubers. I do watch people who interact with that bubble.
Last month or so, my newest favorite video esssayist—and while I haven't decided to drop the name yet, it's very obvious—decided to take on the legal basis of some youtube drama.
I was there for the section on the American financial system, like a good nerd.
That went... well, Icarus moment, for the guy. I don't think any of the fans were really there for the drama section, just for the legal analysis. Like, I've seen legal tube before. I'm sure you have. I was full on expecting for the rest of the legal analysis to drop, like he'd pull out a different case entirely to examine what had happen before.
I think the video's gone now. But, internet.
Do check out his stuff. There's more than law in there. I think I'd call it anthropology, or just the analysis of how culture came to be. Is that the same thing?
—
I don't feel better. This was supposed to make me feel better. I was supposed to confront my emotions and process them until I was happy(er). And I'm not.
Do people still do these? A strange little diary of the moment? It's very Tumblr to me. Carve out a little place for yourself. No one will see what you make. No one will care. Freedom, at its best and worst. Too much to do and too little at the same time.
There's a sense of welcomed imperfection here. I won't likely get much love for what I do on here, nor will I get any critique. A diary made public, for no one to see. Wonderful. That's exactly what I wanted from my social media.
Odd. I don't want to interact or others to interact with me much. Here I am, just shouting into the void because the beach is closed.

Some other notes before I let you leave.
Palworld exists. It's in odd space, seemingly trying to step on toes. But it's really not the better version of Pokémon I was looking for. It doesn't have better story or gameplay.
I have SMT and Persona (which I like less than mainline) for that.
The Apollo Justice trilogy finally dropped, saving some wonderful games and stories from rotting on the 3DS. Citra, of course, exists, but those games refuse to run on there.
I'm playing around with other hobbies. Maybe I should try daily writing. This time, I might actually post it. I think my creative writing is more structured than this, but probably not. Every once in a while, I think up a decent phrase and wonder if I should try again.
Honestly, this here is out there for this blog. This is a post whatever, whenever I just made blog. I guess this counts.
I think it's time. I need to touch grass. I need a job.
And I'm very tempted to hit the Enlist button.
Thanks for reading.
Bye.
