“Disagreements” is a placeholder for possibly anything, even “I wanna stream Wii games but we don’t have perms” could be a “disagreement”.

She actually even mentioned some sort of disagreement in her reasons for leaving:

I had been consulting the office about these issues for several years. However, resolving them would have required a fundamental review of the organization’s internal structure, and I ultimately judged that it would be difficult for me to continue my activities in a sustainable way.

So, while obviously still being vague, she was even more clear than usual.

It’s the 8th iirc, and only if you count Nodoka and Fauna + Chloe which were announced last year and happened in the first couple days of the year. Not too surprising considering how big Holo is right now.

This… doesn’t feel real. Like, I know it is, but it’s just so weird.

On one side, it’s a graduation announcement with direct confirmation that she won’t be reincarnating, which is really sad and really a shame, considering how incredibly talented she is.

On the other, on the graduation announcement, she messed up the English translation at the beginning “spoiling” it, repeatedly read what she prepared incorrectly, laid out every possible scenario why she wasn’t graduating, and was even bantering with chat. With, of course, the most 草s I’ve ever seen in a graduation announcement chat.

I don’t know how she manages to be so professional and PON at the same time, the whole stream definitely left me confused, but it was all so overwhelmingly Kanata. She’s not even letting us be properly sad without making us laugh along the way. Man I’m gonna miss her.

“Are you serious? Right in front of my cookies?” -Amelia Watson, probably

Ouch, definitely something that needs to be addressed with a proper surgery, wish her the best of luck!

Goddammit I can’t unsee this now

Okay, I’ll admit Biboo in the endcard got me.

You said “She hadn’t deleted it yet I think, and I don’t know if she plans on it anytime soon.” so I thought you were talking about the tweets, did you mean the account or something else?

She did delete them afaik, they were all from 2014 and her past account shows no tweets prior to 2017.

I personally doubt anyone would care unless we’re talking real names/faces (and there’s very few who still have that up), but I guess it wouldn’t hurt, yeah.

How to do that here, though? I don’t think we have the “black bar” style in the text editor, at most we could put the whole comment/paragraph under spoiler, but does that universally work in every Fedi frontend? Iirc stuff like breakthrough text rendered differently on some of those.

Both this and the other comment don’t say anything for sure, but it’s been a while since Justice debuted so it could definitely happen.

I’m always very conflicted about new gens, on one hand more people makes Holo even harder to follow (which is a very minor downside in the grand scheme but I still end up thinking that lol), on the other they always recruit great talents and I’m happy they’ve been given their chance to shine. Overall, the current pace is good, as long as we don’t get into Nijisanji-level of spamming gens it’s fine.

Without directly revealing Biboo’s past-life account (because I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

There’s been a post with some past life discussions about a year ago and it’s still up, so I guess that’s allowed (?) at least in regards to stuff that’s still public, maybe not for ones that deleted everything (which is not Biboo’s case).

Kontaru’s TL is very similar to yours and they’re Japanese so yeah, pretty accurate translation.

Damn, manager post, I fear the situation is not good…

Iirc her close family is pretty old so it shouldn’t really be a surprise, but it’s still a shame. Hopefully it doesn’t end up being anything serious, wishing her and her family good luck.

Miko also addressed it as well, since Mikochi was name-dropped.

Was she? I thought people just made the connection because she was talking about people holding parties.

Weren’t the Kotoka rrats pretty much debunked? I mean, I wouldn’t still be friends with someone who ruined my career

Man… I just found out about the whole thing about the stream from two days ago, and regardless of what was true or false, she’s definitely not in a good spot and needs help.

Hopefully she gets the help she needs and can find peace, whether she wants that to be within Hololive or not.

Also Calliope has said before that she will not be on twitch if anyone is wondering. I’m sorry for the X link, but someone clipped it there https://xcancel.com/LC_Lapen/status/1983360390328422468

That’s… kinda harsh? I mean, I get not wanting to stream on Twitch (or on any of the current “popular” alternatives like Kick), but what if a decent competitor eventually shows up? Maybe even something propped up by Hololive, as they could have a lot to gain by not having their memberships and superchats cut by Youtube?

Twitch as the platform, nothing new really. It’s bad, but it’s always been bad.

Thing is TwitchCon happened this month and it was a PR disaster, even specifically for VTubers.

The fact that the leading site in the streaming industry routinely screws its top earners while being literally owned by Amazon means they just don’t care about anything except the money (and they’re pretty bad at earning that, too).

Well… “bad timing” is an understatement.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong and they can all go on like it never happened (except maybe Twitch could understand the potential audience and get their shit together, but if they didn’t do it with Ironmouse as their top streamer I doubt this will change anything).
