Imagine having a bunch of friends at a corpo you've just left and making their lives more difficult and more drama-filled (oh, and potentially reducing their income) just because there isn't a law against it.
Meh. Like it or not your "friends" are always a threat to your income, probably more so when they're in the same corp than when they're outside it. It's the entertainment business, you just have to live with it.
And similarly, in mature industries no-one takes moving to the competition personally, with or without a non-compete. Hell, in banking you sometimes have to sue to get out of your non-compete, but guess what, people do, and they don't blow up either their career or their friendships with their ex-colleagues. It's just business.
Now a bunch of women might of course take it personally, but frankly that's on them.
She was caught leaking other talents' shit to dramatubers. Eliminating any possible risk of shit making it to her by accident makes complete sense to me.
I'm sure if the company had their way they'd make every talent live alone, or better yet with a manager. That doesn't mean it's acceptable for them to control who talents live with, especially when the talents are supposedly independent contractors. "This person is a friend of someone who leaked information" is a pretty loose connection. And people are especially annoyed because of the seeming dishonesty of it: we were told Cover had no problem with Kanata living with Kson and didn't control who anyone lived with, and then suddenly it looked like they (explicitly or implicitly) forced her to move.
Every single person on TVA could boycott all Hololive talents tomorrow, indefiniately, and the revenue loss for them would be mistaken for a rounding error. They aren't too big to fail, but they certainly aren't going to fail from anything less than a virtual 9/11.
Titans look invincible until they're suddenly not, and often the pebble that starts the avalanche is something seemingly innocuous.
Yes, Niji sperged out and made things 1000x worse than they needed to be. That's inevitable for a Japanese corporation. If and when Cover ends up in a similar situation, they'll most likely mess up just as badly.
I feel bad for her if she's upset over it, wish people wouldn't meme it so much but this probably isn't going to help. I don't think Mococo is wrong to get frustrated since people not using your name correctly can be one of the simplest and quickest ways to annoy someone.
Honestly when you're doing something that relies as heavily on fan interaction as vtubing does, the flip side is that you can't control things 100%; fans have a stake in the character (it's not like calling a real person by a name they don't like), and they'll react badly to being told off and worse to being whined at.
