As an OOF person who wasn't around for the drama with Celestial Senate and whatever else relevant, I'm not sure how OOF could help with pushing Duchess off your dom team. OOF is the least likely to know the details about whatever's going on in firedom for years and also has the least power in effecting change in your flight. The most we as OOF can do is to participate or donate to your events but there's not much point if structural issues still exist in firedom that the funds ends up in her hands anyway. Personally, I'm a little hesitant in participating any more than the OOFR as I don't know if the funds will end up squandered in Duchess' hands.

I have to say that the narrative around Duchess' absence is not helping at the moment. People are assuming that something bad happened to Duchess IRL, which could be very much the case, and so have a lot of empathy for her at the moment. Kicking her out now might very well paint the dom team in a very negative light for having no empathy and cutting off someone's head for something out of their control. HOWEVER, if you can communicate to OOF that it is a repeated pattern of behaviour which becomes a problem in itself to remove, you might very well earn the support of OOF you want when change eventually comes from within the flight.
