Proctor’s Statement on Saya Syraxios’ Graduation
Another day, another departure. This time, it’s Saya Syraxios of Phase Connect Gen 3—a name that barely registered before this so-called graduation. And why should it have? She was a perfect example of the modern VTuber who coasts by on the bare minimum, offering nothing of substance and expecting applause for simply existing.
===
From the start, Saya was a non-factor. Her streams were infrequent, uninspired, and utterly forgettable. While others in her generation fought to carve out an identity, she merely drifted along, content with mediocrity. No innovation, no consistency, no standout presence—just another empty avatar in a sea of wasted potential.
Many will say, “She had potential!” but potential means nothing if it's never realized. A VTuber is not owed success for simply debuting. Streaming is a craft, an art, a performance that demands dedication—not a part-time hobby to be abandoned the moment it requires effort. Saya, like so many others, treated it as the latter.
===
This is the consequence of low-effort grifters flooding the VTubing space. Once upon a time, being a VTuber meant standing out, being entertaining, pushing the boundaries of the medium. Now? It’s an assembly line of girls who think a cute model and minimal effort are enough. These are not entertainers; they are tourists. And when they inevitably vanish, nothing is lost.
Saya Syraxios’ departure will be as unremarkable as her career. No legacy, no impact, just another forgettable footnote in the ever-growing list of VTubers who failed to thrive. And rightly so. The industry moves forward, and those unwilling to give their all deserve to be left behind.
