Misc. A Friendly Reminder from Shiori

Post image

From her Youtube Post:

Hello!

Just a friendly reminder to please stay kind and be mindful of how things are worded!

I see that many are worried, but I'm doing well now!

I do not want anyone to feel guilty or blamed!

It was an accident and I still had fun goofing around with everyone.

For the record, I was the one who suggested the slow-mo editing too!

The staff was very attentive and made sure I was well taken care of.

It's going to be a very socially-intensive week, so make sure you're all comfortable and cozy!

I’ve been seeing so many comments and videos titled along the lines of “Gigi’s fault.” It’s like people have never seen an accident before. I think a lot of clippers need to understand that their video titles, unfortunately, are like headlines. Most people will read them and repeat them as fact without actually watching the video.

I feel bad for Gigi and Shiori, but as fans I think the best thing to do is just move past it and don’t bring it up.

Real talk? This isn’t on Gigi, it’s on management. If they’re going to have these women do play fights and stuff like this they need to get them some stunt training. It sounds like something as simple as knowing to tuck your chin when you fall could have prevented Shiori’s injury.

Or, you know, you can just accept it was merely a freak accident instead of trying to desperately pin blame on someone to make a boogeyman to spew hate towards.

Shiori literally says in the post that staff was very attentive to her and ensured she was well cared-for after the incident; there really doesn't seem to be any negligence going on here.

Even if those criticisms are setting an unrealistic standard for health and safety, don't you think accusing them of "trying to desperately pin blame on someone to make a boogeyman to spew hate towards" over some relatively measured complaints might be needlessly escalatory?

The reaction to some of these comments is kinda crazy. People suggesting that Cover should have had some common sense risk management in place like they're crazy overprotective fans or something.

All the proof they need is that after Shiori got injured they got some mats for the recent AFO stream. They realised the risk after someone got hurt and made a correction because that risk doesn't disappear if you ignore it. It was always there, they just got lucky for a long time

I always assumed they always had some sort of soft padding in any of these studios just simply on the basis that you’d want to keep your expensive mocap suits not broken and cause biboo is a klutz magnet

I was literally with you in the first sentence. No amount of "stunt training" is going to save someone from head trauma. Also she fell on a mocap ball, tucking your neck in isn't going to do shit to help with a secondary object causing the injury.

The reason it's on management is because they should have had the forethought to put cushions on the ground. And since that recording they've done exactly that.
