Sometimes referred to as a black corporation or black business, a black company is a Japanese term that describes a company with dubious ethics. It is often used against manufacturing and office corporations that prioritize profit over the happiness of their employees. This label has been used before to target Nijisanji after Zaion Lanza was fired. Genshin streamer Sayu Okami would later offer insight into Zaion\u2019s negative experiences with ANYCOLOR\u2019s management leading some people in the community to question Nijisanji. However, those accusations weren\u2019t overly pronounced. Following the graduation of Mirei Gundo though, more and more Vtuber fans are starting to accuse something more sinister is at play. Vtuber Agency Nijisanji accused of being a \u201cblack company\u201d Mirei Gundo\u2019s graduation has prompted some members of the Vtuber community to call Nijisanji \u201ca black company,\u201d in response to long-serving member Mirei Gundo graduating following a comment about baseball. In response to the announcement of the graduation, one fan tweeted: \u201cNijisanji firing a very popular talent for making a baseball joke. They ain\u2019t even hiding the fact they\u2019re a black company lmao. We must free all their talents. They deserve better than this crap.\u201d In response to ANYCOLOR\u2019s stock price recovering, another user said: \u201cWeird as hell, so instead of catering to fans or people who support Vtubers in general, they choose baseball mafia? The Black Company meme isn\u2019t a meme anymore.\u201d Others were critical of Nijisanji\u2019s decision-making: \u201cI understand that Japanese fans were upset that Mirei Gundo made a joke about Shohei Ohtani getting hit with the baseball, but Nijisanji is a total joke for firing her over that\u2026\u201d However, not everyone agreed with the complaints about Nijisanji. Vtuber journalist and Dexerto contributor Ducky said: \u201c1. It likely wasn\u2019t because of one tweet. 2. Even if it was, NIJISANJI used \u2018graduation\u2019 not \u2018termination\u2019. 3. That tweet was very damaging for Niji\u2019s brand and likely cost them in a business sense.\u201d Similarly, the consensus from a lot of Japanese fans is that Mirei Gundo\u2019s graduation was necessary with her comments being seen as disrespectful and even potentially encouraging dirty play. Baseball is an extremely important and culturally impactful sport in Japan. Even if Gundo\u2019s comments were intended as a joke some Eastern fans clearly feel as though it isn\u2019t a topic anyone should joke about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vtuber fans label Nijisanji \u201cblack company\u201d after Mirei Gundo graduates NijisanjiFollowing the announced graduation of Mirei Gundo, Vtuber fans are labeling Nijisanji and its parent organization ANYCOLOR a \u201cblack company,\u201d criticizing its business decisions.
