>>107050028Hololive wiped Hitomi Chris off the face of the earth because the same creeps that prey on young girls naivety are already INSIDE MANAGEMENT. I'm sure that if the situation with Mel surfaced around 2018, the same thing would have happened to her as well. Cover Corp, as with many of these "idol agencies", are not afraid of throwing their talents under the bus and wiping them off the map when they for whatever reason go against management... The reason why they can't do that anymore is because hololive got so popular and so talent driven (mostly due to them streaming every day and interacting with fans more then any idol could before) that Cover Corp are too afraid to show their true colors. They know that without their streamers they are nothing. They know that any slip up in their treatment of their talents will lead to immense backlash. And to mitigate that backlash, they are always acting apologetic, but they only respond when they're being called out on their bullshit. I guess that the one good thing that comes from the "internet outrage culture" is that we won't let shit like this go unnoticed. They can swipe stuff like this under the rug all they want but one leak and everything will blow up in their faces.
