>if set of facts P is true, then it would reflect poorly on the cult leader>therefore set of facts P is falseAnd that's why they're defending Aster. If the allegations against him (sekuhara etc.) are true, then it would reflect poorly on Niji (for not punishing him for sekuhara once they first found out about it, and not even conducting a cursory investigation into the claims against him until their willful inaction was called out publicly)
In their eyes, Niji can do no wrong. And in their eyes, the fact that Niji didn't fire him for sexual harassment automatically means that he did not sexually harass anyone, and anyone who says otherwise is an enemy and must be destroyed.
