I learned what a “LAN Party” was the other day and felt the youth return to me

[Bao The Whale 🐳 @baovtuber]

So I told Amalee a few weeks ago that I got a VA role for an anime, but didn’t tell her which anime.

Cut to one random day she goes into the studio to record.
The director tells her a new girl is coming in and she asks who.

“Oh her name is Bao!”
“BAOOOOO?????????”

That same day we had JUST barely missed each other at the studio to record and this is also how I found out we were voicing IN THE SAME ANIME 😆

and so our NDAs are now void

why i left VSHOJO -

back in 2023, vshojo tried to bully me into one of the most predatory contracts that i have ever seen. when i tried to ask more about it, their COO got extremely hostile with me and refused to answer any of my questions and so i had to hire a lawyer in order to get some clarification.

during the talks, it became clear that vshojo would rather let me go than to take less away from me. they were ultimately wanting me to give up more than half of all my sponsor revenue and over 60% of all merch sales. all i asked from them in return, is to not take a cut of the sponsors that i was getting through Mythic, as that cut was already being taken. they said no, they want it all. and so i asked to leave after being treated like i was disposable in our talks. they basically made it seem like they were my employer, and that they're the reason for my success. that i owe them and that i should be happy to give them my money.

in order for me to leave, they demanded i sign an nda that prevented me from speaking to any of the other talent about it. i could not say why i was leaving, i could not say what the terms that i was saying no to were. i even got in trouble for advising them to hire their own attorneys. they would watch my streams, read my discord, and then threaten to sue me. if i said anything that hinted towards how i really felt about the company, i was threatened with a lawsuit.

another one of their leave terms was that they will announce both me and silver on the same day in order to minimize the damage to their company. their COO has begun to push a narrative on 4chan (yes im serious lmfao) and other social media that i am leaving because i plan to join OTK and that both me and silvervale are troublemakers, so they were "letting" us go. later i found out that nyanners wanted to leave around the same time due to also being unhappy with the contract, but was told that she couldn't because it did not fit their narrative that they were pushing internally AND externally. the amount of hate we've gotten over leaving, from fans calling us greedy bitches to people saying we're abandoning our friends and tossing aside the company because we're successful enough, shit was fucking painful. not being able to say anything sucked.

i only found out i didn't get paid for any of my sponsors after i had already signed the NDA. after 2 years, i have still not been paid back fully. to add insult to injury, they also demanded i had to pay them back 10k for some of the anniversary assets which when they sent me back months later, were half finished.

despite all of that, i've had immense faith that the company has gotten better over the past 2 years. i assumed they rewrote their contracts after losing 3 people due to them and seeing all the new talent join.

clearly this was not the case.

now for some fun facts !!

- their company lawyer has an expired law license. he literally does not practice law anymore, yet he was our point of contact for any legal help we needed.

- they actively pitted us against one another during my time there, and compared our success to others. they tried enforcing streaming schedules so that our viewcount would look better due to less overlap.

- they would ALWAYS shit talk other vtuber agencies. they literally would spend company money to get a tiny dig at them. especially hololive, it literally lived rentfree in gunruns head. they were convinced hololive was over when they signed kson and nazuna.

- our previous talent manager got ghosted for 6 months by gunrun, told not to do any work for us and then got fired for "not doing anything". during this fiasco, we weren't able to get any assistance.

- MTD got reprimanded for being creepy to us. lol. got told not to message us privately. go figure.

- i have proof from other streamers attending their IRL parties that MTD would actively shit talk me after i left the company, to paint me in the worst light imaginabe. dunno why ur acting innocent on twitter pretending u werent aware of anything, can't wait to see all the shit that comes out about you because there's LOADS but those aren't my stories to tell.

thanks for reading and thanks to those who stuck around between then and now. thank you for giving me, silver and nyan the benefit of the doubt when we needed it most. 💙

"We would be able to do so & cover all expenses"

Brother, you've somehow been bleeding 11 Mil while maintaining the most successful & biggest vtuber roster in Western EN History & figured that'd all just go away on its own?!

Oh- to spew bullshit so confidently 😫

What a weird way to say: "So basically, I've been sitting ducks while watching the ship sink & instead of sitting down with the talents & explaining the situation & finding ways to fix the business model, we went about hiring more & bigger talents to rake in more profits to cover our incompetence.
Oh, also I had no idea what the 500k was supposed to be for & never questioned it or checked the books, oopsie, LOL."

I feel so freaking terrible for your former talents... 💔

[GEEGA ギガ 🔝 @GeneralGEEGA]

VShojo didn't just fail, many staff and leadership failed VShojo.

Instead of using talent money on operating costs, the company should have shut down or at least informed us, but you used us as cash cows to keep things afloat while keeping us in the dark.

You chose to keep the (expensive) sinking ship going and felt that it was fine to keep paying out to staff you were friends with instead of putting talent first. You've made it abundantly clear that you are okay with not prioritizing the debts owed to the talent who MADE this company what it is.

While saying you will take full responsibility is the correct thing to do, I also think there are many others in the company without the same positive intent as conveyed in this message. In every leadership or staff call I had, you sat back and didn't say much while you had other staff members that were clearly the ones doing the actual work be the ones to speak.

We know which leadership worked on our contracts. We know which leadership constantly sat in vc playing games with staff instead of working on time-sensitive tasks for our events and debuts. We know which staff consistently leaked information about talent. As the CEO, you are the final check, yes, but this means that all checks before you failed too.
