Affiliates are fucking graduations and calling them anything else is fucking gay and retarded.
Using either euphemism is equally gay. Call it quitting.
I'm not sure why people think Fauna graduating would make them make any serious, non-corpo answer as to what they are doing, if Aqua, Ame, and Chloe didn't lol.
At some point the sheer quantity becomes its own message, rather than the specific person.
You know, in general vtubers just aren't going to last as long as people working an office job or construction. That's just not the kind of job it is.
I don't think the medium has been going long enough to say that for sure yet. There are comedians or pro wrestlers (once the companies stabilised, which took a while) who've been going for decades.
You realize they flew Ina out and housed her on their dime right? Just to fuck her over right? Good rrat
You joke but that's an absolutely classic way Japanese companies screw with people they want to get rid of. Fly out on this vital business trip, whoops there's not actually any job for you to do here, just amuse yourself for a bit and go home. It fucks with you more than you might think.
wouldn't newer people leaving(such as Kunai and Vivi dipping from Niji) be a worse look for the company overall?
No. New people quitting can be shrugged off as them just not fitting or having different expectations, like Vesper or Zaion. When an established person leaves that's more of a sign that the company has changed for the worse.
This sentiment also erases the early struggle Suisei used to have before settling in as an official Gen 0 member, will you say the same about Mori too because she's the "Most popular and successful HoloEN so far" as well?
Not saying this is what's happening in Holo, but people like that can be some of the worst bullies to have as seniors. They're untouchable and don't take your problems seriously, and they have the perfect counter to any complaint because "they had it worse".
His post was about management conflicts. You know, the one thing that independents don't have to deal with.
Remember Bao's previous scandal? It happens with indies too.
This is the way Cover wants things to be. I'm convinced of that at this point. Either because they are the way the shareholders have decided things should be, or Cover's imperfect perception of their customer base has determined this as being the best way forward.
I don't think it's that deliberate. They're just Japanese, and genuinely incapable of imagining a large company that isn't awful.
Would it be historical revision to say that might have been more of a cynical business decision than anything talent focused?
Yes.
I think there's enough examples of literal zero output for months that it's evident many of Cover's talents do turn down most of the opportunities they're given,
but that does prove that even within Hololive, talents are free to invest as much time into their career as they choose
That's the positive take. The other possibility is if management has them all working flat out and then half the stuff they do never sees the light of day.
