When Konami begins to censor its employees, it means that a red line has been crossed and won't backpedal about it. The way how it's unfolding is no different than the Kojima drama. | ||
* Artists may either leave the company permanently (not an instant process from what I know) or some of them will just be moved to another division. Given how some artists are acting differently on social media (i.e. nekomata going to play a solo piano live in a friend's restaurant), the former option seems more likely to be true due to how certain Konami employees are so restricted in what they can do. | * Artists may either leave the company permanently (not an instant process from what I know) or some of them will just be moved to another division.
