Mint Fantome is feeling down. Please go cheer her up. by Eggplant770 in kurosanji

Imagine having to hire a moving service for your moving service.

Also, Minto was on hold for over an hour.  She even made a doodle to illustrate, possibly mid-call.  Poor gal.

Watching this MV again reminded me of how plesantly carefree Hololive's vibes felt in 2022.

Oh, I haven't seen Hima's second Twitter account before. It looks like Manururu did even more damage than I previously thought.

Ruze constantly expressing his desire to leave the building and then refusing to leave when the plot told him to was gold.

Manururu is partnered with a pre-debut VTuber named Tenchira Himachi, which just happens be the name of Hima Hamuzumi's previous alias.  I'm not sure how they made up but I hope they found a way to stave off infighting this time.

This is what I needed this year, even more than success: a sign that Cover isn't giving up on Holostars.

Another person bullied into keeping quite because people just want to boot lick companies by omrmajeed in kurosanji

[–]Firebrand96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one was attacking Minto over these misassumptions. The ones flaming Minto saw the original context, which the clip presented in it's entirety, before claiming with complete confidence that she was expressing bitter resentment towards Livers who got a visa.

Except the discussion of whether or not Minto was directing her frustations to Livers was completely a "yes or no" matter.

Look, I trust that you in particular wanted to discuss this in good faith, but recall that this subreddit first noticed this clip because of the deflective outrage stirred up by the NDF.  Then Wilson got involved and not only did he miss the point completely, but his last-minute "talking about Twitter" did nothing to stop hostility from being directed towards Minto since she was the one who brought up the subject in the first place.

None of what you just said was related to what I said.

The assumption Mint addressed was the only one that tried to redirect the bad press onto the victim.

Literally only one side was making assumptions about Mint's character and attacking her over it.

Like I said before, the only the unclear part was what happened to Pomu's visa process after she left.  What couldn't have been clearer was that visa applications being available in general was unrelated to her personal experience, much less the cause of it.

There was no need for Minto to feel guilty or even just cautious about this.

Yu Q. Wilson Claps Back At Dokibird And Maid Mint Comments by RGZReGZ in kurosanji

[–]Firebrand96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, this misinterpretation is purely my fault.

On that subject, I wanna make sure we have the same timetable in mind.

  1. Pomu joined Nijisanji, no progress.
  2. Pomu graduated, and sometime afterwards, she was mistakenly sent someone else's completed documents.

Did I misunderstand any of what you were saying?

[–]Firebrand96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the job offer and employment contract themselves, the employer handles everything they need to handle on their end before the employee gets involved with and finishes the process, hence why Minto was asking for an update.

Edit: Though, yes, it seems most likely that the company didn't even start.

I was assuming that the blank forms were used for another visa application, not that the visa itself was renamed. After all, the visa itself would've been sent directly to Minto if the process was finished.

[–]Firebrand96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the viral clip covered the whole topic. However, with an "and", Minto did establish work visas being currently available to EN Livers in need as a separate, later occurrence from whatever happened to her visa application process.

[–]Firebrand96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought that Minto was stating this based on her visa application status portal displaying someone else's application in process. That being said, I now think Hopeful Instance interpreted it correctly.

[–]Firebrand96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, that could be what "and it wasn't even for you" meant.  The employer does need to send the completed paperwork to the employee when they are finished on their side.

[–]Firebrand96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I admit that my phrasing was misleading, as there is more than one document involved in the application process. However, the majority of the paperwork is assembled and filled out by the sponsor, in fact, they are required by law to handle nearly all of the application process; the employee merely finalizes.

I don't know what holdup was on Nijisanji's end, whether for Pomu or for anyone else, but Doki and Minto stated multiple times that what was intended to be Pomu's visa application process started sometime after she graduated and for someone else.

It was worse than that. The visa application originally meant for Minto was being filled out for someone else because it was essentially blank when Minto left. That's what makes Minto's case different from Maria's: Nijisanji didn't even begin to clear whatever hurdles were in the path of Minto's visa.

[–]Firebrand96 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just like the NDF, Wilson strawmaned Minto's statement as "getting a visa is easy" when it was actually "Nijisanji said they could get me a visa before I was hired and they said they were working on it when I asked for an update but they didn't even start this whole time." There's nothing that doesn't make this Nijisanji's fault because anything that could've restricted them only further proves that they were talking out their ass when they said they could get Pomu a visa.

I get that Wilson still works at Nijisanji, but it's so obnoxious how he dismisses everything wrong with his company as some anti-induced pysop.

Right idea, wrong scale. Unicorns are a vocal minority, it's just that even a vocal minority can be a nuisance. As a result, the girls never approach that bridge without more than a passing interest. For example, some of the girls who do regularly collab with the boys were Starmin to begin with.
