I would need more information before blaming it squarely on Cover, visa issues can come about for various different reasons, and risking intervention for knowingly housing an illegal worker would be a much bigger L than temporarily inconveniencing one of their talents. They let us know as much about the situation as they could without breaking her character, and gave us a rough idea when we can expect her back.
It's unfortunate, but it could've been handled so much worse.
If you're still at this entry-level Twitter-brained "corpo bad" stage of VTuber discourse I'd suggest lurking more. The context behind how Cover and Anycolor operate is wildly different, and has obviously been so for a very long time. Cover aren't perfect, but their handling of problems has very noticeably improved over time, while Anycolor have continued getting worse.
I think if one wanted a very cut and dry indication of COVER markedly improved or is much better than Niji all you have to do is look at the almost back to back terminations of Mel and SelenMaybe it's the cynicism from the 2020 Holocaust, the Ai-chan bullshittery over the years, I don't really trust a single word out of a japanese corpo regardless of how much the talents claim otherwise, remember the Nijifamily posts.
Cover is incompetent, what they are not is malicious, that is the important distinction. Their blunders come from overcorrecting due to past fuckups, being slow on the upkeep, fumbling the promotion of certain things and just... changing as they've grown. But you will never see shit like the Zaion or Selen termination notices from Cover.I think if one wanted a very cut and dry indication of COVER markedly improved or is much better than Niji all you have to do is look at the almost back to back terminations of Mel and Selen
Mel was terminated suddenly due to her seemingly leaking work to someone else, a pretty serious offence if true, and so far we have not really gotten a confirmation of that being false, or true either
Cover, gave her a chance to say goodbye, had members post favorably about her, and iirc even Yagoo said Farewell. I think A-chan was one of the first to post saying her goodbye
Selen bears no real explanation for most, but we had nothing for weeks, management skinwalked her tweets, she almost offed herself, all of that because they seemingly lost a cover in some wierd burocratic limbo and she went menhera after it got pulled. Her termination message implying that she did much worse and her response to that was supposed to be the cherry on top of her almost offing herself, but then they doubled down with the black screen video, airing out more of the behind the scenes legal proceedings. Involving livers into it publicly, etc etc
Point is, Cover is still seemingly leaps and bounds ahead of anycolor in some of these statements, and have given alot of people reasons to trust their word even when its still a random japanese corpo, people are going to err on the side of Cover not being incredibly incompetent as a whole

The only actual answer we got about that cover was that they had to check the characters in the cover itself, the characters cameoing in it? All of them were Niji IP, just graduated livers, something we have precedent over atleast allowing their images to be depicted.

Inshallah rushia should've been raped by all of the Cover execs for betraying his holiness yagoo.Shut the fuck up Holodrones
Ina not getting her VISA is worse than Terminations and Graduations
Dont give Niji any ideas for their next terminationInshallah rushia should've been raped by all of the Cover execs for betraying his holiness yagoo.
Can't believe Riku and all fifty thousand shareholders are going to run a train on Aster, what a horrible way to go.Dont give Niji any ideas for their next termination
For Aster or the shareholders?Can't believe Riku and all fifty thousand shareholders are going to run a train on Aster, what a horrible way to go.
Aster was using the VR chat orgies to prepare himself for this momentFor Aster or the shareholders?
can I continue with Aster, that seems far less torturousSo for anyone who wants to wash the stain that is the image of Aster getting his holes stuffed by japanese business men, you can listen to Millie's original song that I just now learned about and just premiered.
At least you can pretend Aster's a girl, you can't pretend Millie's not SEA.can I continue with Aster, that seems far less torturous
Most optimistic thing I've ever heard.
