>>37921993As far as the con thing goes, if she was in Japan, she might have been using a work computer or some other equipment provided by Cover, meaning it’s not an issue.
My most charitable rrat is that the tech problems happened while she was preparing to leave, and she was too stressed about preparing the trip to prioritize getting that stuff fixed and/or it wasn’t clear whether it would be fixed before she had to leave, so she decided to take care of it after she came back.
That said, even if this rrat were true, it sort of implies that Gura thinks of the streams as not her top priority. Which, as a non-chumbud, feels pretty reasonable to me. If I were a chumbud, I’d probably be a little annoyed—not for this one incident, but for this one on top of all the other breaks she’s taken.
I truly don’t get how chumbuds tolerate it. You’d think they’d at least watch other vtubers while she’s gone (I know many of them do), but some of them seem to seriously keep track of stuff like Thanksgiving hoping she streams instead of just…watching someone else while they wait for a notification. Like, does she exclusively do guerrilla streams nowadays or something? I don’t get it.
