Nijisanji Faces Backlash Over Alleged Communication Issues with Talent Twisty
Nijisanji, one of the largest VTuber agencies, is once again under scrutiny for its handling of talents, with recent allegations suggesting poor communication and neglect. A former talent, known as Twisty, has voiced frustration over the company’s silence, leaving her in what many are calling “corporate limbo.”
Twisty, who has been tweeting from her previous life (PL) account, described her experience as feeling like “watching paint dry, except the paint is my sanity.” She revealed that she has been waiting for a response from Nijisanji regarding her status, but the company has not acknowledged her at all.
In a Twitter exchange, a fan asked if she had gained anything positive from working at Nijisanji. Twisty responded that while she met some amazing people, she wished things had ended differently. Other fans expressed frustration on her behalf, criticizing Nijisanji’s handling of the situation. Some even encouraged her to break her contract, arguing that the company had already failed to uphold its responsibilities.
Speculation of Termination and Non-Compete Clauses
Twisty’s situation has led to speculation that she may be facing termination, though she has not received official confirmation. Some believe Nijisanji is intentionally keeping her in the dark, possibly enforcing a non-compete clause that prevents her from streaming on other accounts.
Adding to the controversy, past leaks have suggested that Twisty’s debut was delayed for nine months due to internal Nijisanji issues. After finally debuting and streaming for a short period, she now finds herself in limbo once again. Many are comparing this situation to previous instances where Nijisanji talents were abruptly suspended or terminated without clear explanations.
A Pattern of Poor Talent Management?
This is not the first time Nijisanji has been criticized for its treatment of talents. Fans and industry watchers have noted that the company has a history of vague communication and sudden terminations. The lack of transparency has led to growing distrust within the community, with some calling for better policies to protect VTubers from being left without support or a clear path forward.
For now, Twisty remains uncertain about her future with Nijisanji, and the agency has yet to make any public statement regarding the matter. As frustration builds, fans continue to call for accountability, hoping that the company will improve its handling of talent relationships moving forward.
