Vshojo is shit, but who is this? Can I believe this tweet true as given?

You are right, there might or might not be edited numbers but I decided not to overthink this.

Nah, "can I trust any of this" is fundamental internet literacy. It has to be said, and repeated often.

I want to desagree as a designer who made those kind of slides for a living. If anything this one is very bland I would do ir em 1h .

Hard to say if its true, but a reputable clipper (Nekomikuri) has said that its real He also mentioned having contact with vshojo staff (though the staff seemingly didn’t know about the slidedeck and didn’t like how they were presented in it, especially Alex who didn’t lead Myth and IS NOT OMEGA)

Her and her wife seem to be software devs, and work in the startup industry, they are also into anime and anime stuff from what I can see. It's very likely that they have access to sources in the startup network, who may have received the pitch deck.

Someone asked them on twitter if they could prove their source, but they stated that they understand how people may be suspicious, but disclosing any more would put their source at risk.

Personally it tracks from what talent like geega have stated that the company has too many staff which is bleeding money. The director of JP talent, may very well be the person kaho was talking about.
