armourmsg.bsky.social @armourmsg.bsky.social · 01/09/2025She also was the victim of toxic corporate STEM from her civil engineering train job which is why she walked away from that to vtubing full-time . And I didn't say she didnt add to the toxicity of the vtubing. 100

armourmsg.bsky.social @armourmsg.bsky.social · 10/08/2025The 'manager' betraying Adora professionally/personally while being heroized on X is DISGUSTING. Whatever the full story, I hope Adora finds work free from the toxicity of both her old engineering job and this "community". 120
armourmsg.bsky.social @armourmsg.bsky.social · 09/08/2025As someone who also left toxic corporate STEM, I sympathize with Adora. Attacks on Adora for following standard professional behavior and business practices (vtubing IS a business) are insufferable. Whatever the full story, I'm glad she's prioritizing her wellbeing by leaving. 110
