>>3076713No, a termination is a termination. Those are never treated the same way as a vtuber's retirement which is branded as a "graduation". These people were straight up FIRED from their companies so they don't get a frilly word to describe their end of activities. Neither Hitomi Chris nor Jitomi Monoe's end of activities were branded "graduations" as they breached contract.
Also no, there's no rule that states indies can not use the term graduation. The term itself doesn't refer to "graduating from a school" or a "company" in the first place. The full phrase this term derives from is 「VTuber活動から卒業する」 which directly translates to "graduating from vtuber activities." Many retired indie chuubas used this term before.
And for the last time, stop making meta threads you fuck.
