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. 💙

i hate when people say streaming is hard, it’s really not. i’m blessed as fuck being able to sit my ass all day yapping, playing games, and reacting to videos. taking breaks whenever i WANT to is a privilege.
The absolute audacity to sit here & continue to manipulate & gaslight is absolute insanity.
The pain & mental torment you've caused to the ones closest & most supportive of you has been devastating & I have never been so heart broken & hurt so badly for my friends... You are the fakest person I've ever had the displeasure of supporting! Reading (& hearing) of how you've really viewed me behind my back, not just through screenshots of your Man but also your very OWN messages while having to sit here & read through these bullshit lies you spin makes me want to vomit.
To claim that you didn't know a SINGLE THING & had zero awareness of what your Man was up to when everyone who's shared even a single moment with you knows that you basically operate as the same person, sharing every waking moment while loving to jump at the slightest opportunity to turn into your most slanderous self as soon as the opportunity was given, even when talking about your friends is sickening.
I have experienced your own actions without Red, in a situation where in your own screenshotted words, you express a "pressure to live up to what Lily is", and proceeded to throw one of your most loyal & supportive friends under the bus after months of continuous planning just because you consistently chose business over friends, never feeling bad for failing them.
Just to earn the bag & compete with me over a VCard collab that YOU rescheduled to be on the exact date your friend needed you to keep an important promise. You actively lied about it to them, instead blaming ME for a collab YOU rescheduled, adding me to the pool of excuses to save your ass, when you realized you were being a bad friend. Why blame me for choosing to miss an obligation YOU agreed to. On one of the most important days in that friends career?
Everything you do is out of competition through your constant need to one-up the people who are the sole reason you even have these opportunities & platforms to earn from to begin with. You're welcome btw...
You claim that "it's just business" well, in the business world, there has to be accountability & all you've done is try to shove it away & admit to nothing. In true narcissistic fashion you're only feeling sorry about yourself & your own consequences & your career & try to salvage it.
I'm sorry for everyone who looked up to you as an inspiration and I'm especially sorry for your fans.
Pyro Pups deserve better..
Hello, im here to share something that has affected me personally, and hurt others. This was very hard for me, but I feel it is neccesary. Please do not send hate to anyone on my behalf, this is all i want to say.
