>>52233266Compared to the idol industry VTubing is still tame, but it's moving there.
The company having the talents entire identity gives the company quite a lot if power combined with the culture of not talking about RMs and making it a taboo (that being said openly talking about the RM is also questionable as long as it isn't known what the person wants)
For example giving talents a worse contract is pretty easy in the corpo constellation, because quitting is a huge risk.
That being said it's not VTuber exclusive. There's been cases in which talent agencies got the trademark to the real name of their talent and the talent was unable to operate under their real name (obviously for official documents it was ok because trademark doesn't Apple there)
Just like how salarymen work under shitty conditions within shitty companies, talents in Japan are basically slaves of their agencies in bad cases.
That's probably what kson sees in VShojo, because they are a departure from that system where talents are under the ageny, but more in a horizontal partnership.
