"Talent Freedom" is a direct attack against the one thing that keeps Hololive on top. The fact that the girls aren't allowed to be brazen whores for days on end without putting out any other meaningful content. Even at their worst Choco and Marine seem tame compared to the average Vei or Nyan stream.
Mike's new character is basically just an extra loli Kanata, and even though that probably doesn't proc copyright in Japan, it cannot sit well with Cover.
This doesn't apply but it is why Mike is lucky VShojoJP is incorporated in Japan under Kson's name instead of having Gun or Melody's name anywhere on the legal documents.
I'm a legal assistant working in a copyright office and I hate what Disney has done to copyright so I want to talk about this. In the 1970s Disney won a lawsuit against some former employees through unproven but obvious bribery of the judge that blocks former employees from creating new characters that closely resemble characters from their former employers within 10 years of leaving the company unless the character was created by the former employee or spend (a poorly defined in the ruling) significant amount of time working on the character.
