I mainly watched the Misaki sisters last night and trying to process that so I'm working through the problem with Pippa today. Let's all remember that Pippa stated that she did not get more than a few hours of sleep, is a shut in, is a woman, and is crazy but I repeat myself. Her grasp on things can be tenuous to batshit insane at times. I think part of her worries is that she feels guilty. Look at how she has exploded.

The one that's cut off in Gen 1 is Iori who's sitting at 13.9k subs. Lia was supposed to be the face of the company and now Pippa is probably a month away from doubling her numbers. Pippa, by her own testimony, has never been a success, is an awkward mess, and has massive self image issues. I know she's talked about her concerns about leaving behind or eclipsing her genmates. I don't think there's any real tension between them all because if there was any, between the spregtastic efforts of VT and us, we sure as shit would've heard about it. Lia in her return stream I think it was actually talked about how much she admires Pippa and uses the way that Pippa has been growing her channel to help her with her school work.
There's probably more to it but at first blush I think the simplest answer to all of this is that we're just due for our biannual woman moment from our little bunny.
To an extent, yes he is forcing her because she works for him and they do have a contract.
As for why, he's Fishman, the loveable punching bag we all can get behind bullying. However, in his defense, every single girl, yabbit included, that has spoken about Fishman have all stated that despite being a bit aloof Kevin does care about them and I have no reason to believe that any of them were pressured into saying that. That's not to say he's perfect. The selective rules are fucking insanity and are biting him in the ass, rightfully so. Another point that they've all said is that things were very rough in the beginning until Fishman hired Muumei. Muumei needs help asap. By ALL accounts she is what has held all the girls together in their first year and now her work load is doubled and at some point going to be tripled with Gen 3 and more Phase Invaders. If he doesn't take some of the burden off of her things might go tits up and ol' Chinky Dink will discover that burn out is very, very real no matter how much money you throw at it.
