I'm a hardcore Magmite. Some things are different and some things are the same, but I'm still utterly stuck on him and watch him regardless. IDK if you heard other Magmites' complaints around graduation time; if not, here are some of them:
>TL;DR: idol culture stuff, different content, yumefujo-friendliness, feelings of jealousy/betrayal - Some people are really strict with their PL/RM virginity/immersion, and as far as they're concerned, that character is dead and that's the end of that. Some places overhyped the PL/RM bogeyman to the point there were people unironically afraid to even look at it, as if doing so is stalking and a crime in itself. I even hesitated following his RM at first because people bitched so much about it ruining the algorithm for everyone else (I eventually decided that's not my responsibility)
- His indie content is different. In Holo, he collabed with different people (handpicked talents of his caliber with great synergy rather than whoever he already happened to be friends with and roped in), he did different content (stuff he wouldn't normally do as an indie like creativity with assets and character lore and voice roleplay), and he had restrictions that forced creativity (e.g. couldn't bluntly drop low hanging coomer fruit so he had to be more coy and clever with innuendos). He also had coherence and branding provided by the company: compare the JRPG characters with shared lore and the strong fan identity with oshi marks and fan reps (he came up with a great concept but it was based on the character design he was given) vs. his teacher thing where his fans are just students, his character design is a sweater vest, and his lore is liking femboy bussy.
- He lost his yumefujo-friendly anime character idol fantasy appeal. Let's face it: a good chunk of the fanbase were yumefujo weebs who liked fantasizing about anime boys fucking them and/or each other. The already flimsy wall between fiction and reality dropped when he lost the anime character mask. Magni was safe to be paired, written, and drawn however fans wanted. Yumes were safe from ever being told their anime bf is taken. But Lando has a gf and doesn't hide it outside Holo. There were yumes who started watching Lando during the hiatus and got upset when he revealed he had a gf (and a hickey...) onstream a week before the graduation announcement. I only started catching Lando occasionally a few months before the hiatus, so I'm not sure if his gf came up before then, but if it did, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the real reason driving the early Magschizos long before the hiatus/graduation.
- People angry with him, whether out of jealousy (people were even getting jealous of him hanging out with Bettel a lot), content (burnout, shorter streams, complaining about being tired, and doing RM content on the side rather than focusing on Magni/big productions/giving viewers attention) or graduation backlash (anger over Magni leaving the fans/the group, bonus anger depending on what they think happened behind the scenes)
