>>66875712>>66885857You're not wrong my friend, she's married...to me! Shitty jokes aside, NTA, but I thought you got that idea from one of the rrats from here. Overall this RL topic kind of disgusts me and it's all speculation, but the "FBK is married" was a popular rrat here, nowadays most anons just call FBK a cat lady. She still does, albeit rarely, the "no waifu, friends" bit. I don't know if it's professionalism, since many streamers engage in the waifu, boyfriendo thing, don't deny it or encourage this kind of behavior. I'm glad that Foobs just shuts down these things with a silly meme, although it's not the most effective way to do it, it's a clever one, because if you get real, some people, especially schizos, will lose their shit. She still has some JP unicorns (or was it a troll?) in her chat, as he exposed himself in the Marshmallow stream. I don't know about the remnants of her EN fanbase, but speaking for myself, while I love Fubuki, I'm not delusional enough to think that I'll meet someone who lives on the other side of the world and eventually marry them. Speaking of rrats, another popular one, which I believed was pushed by the wheelbarrowing antis, as their messages often contained this narrative, is that Foobs have a higher administrative power within Hololive. If I remember correctly, their rrat logic was "Fubuki is a high-ranking member of Holo/has lots of shares or something similar -> She made THIS [ultra rrat] administrative error/tax evasion scheme and is ruining Hololive!! -> Graduate her!". I've seen people trying this shit with other old members like Miko and to a lesser extent, Sora. It's good that these rumors never sticks to them for whatever reason. While she may have some negotiation leverage as a senior member and as someone who also often does some sort of PR work for holo, she is not much different from any other holomen.
>>66871692>>66873183Someone making a lot of sense and displaying too much empathy on this website...Yeah, I'm afraid you're right on the mark with these.
>>66891366Don't be so hard with yourself, friend. Everyone has their own weakness and strengths. Love my Friend, but is she really that strong...? There are times where we have to say or do things because nobody else is up to do it. It sounds like that old meme but sometimes you just have to do it. In the case of our Friend, she got spearheaded into being the leader of Gen 1, I believe she's just meeting the expectations of others and always trying to spin the situation around with happy/fun things. Truly admirable. I'm sad that her Micomet project could be so much better at another time...but it is what it is. Her attempt to extend the sudden "dulling the pain" Palworld collab made me a little sad too, hopefully she'll make a fast recovery from this mess. It's great that she's taking a day off to go on a date with other holomen, I'd also throw a simple super saying "Thanks" or some shit at Micomet if I had some bucks as a thanks for yesterday.
>>66920187>On this matter Cover walks a good line between exclusivity and freedom for relationships.I think the collab stuff depends the on will of both Cover and the talent itself. I believe their individual managers (if any) also play some role in this.
>>66922305Also NTA, but I think collabs with ex-holomen are a different sort of thing, even if they assume another persona. There could be all sorts of agreements and contracts to prevent this interaction. From the former members' side we can have: "I don't want to be reminded of my mistakes/time on Hololive." ; "I disliked my old fanbase." ; "I don't want antis attacking me because I left their favorite corpo." ; "I don't want people shitting my chat with [you are (insert old Vtuber name here)!!]" and so on... On the corpo side we can have: NDA; NCC; "This person broke our trust, we will lose some face if collaborations are allowed" ; "They may steal our viewers (a.k.a. "leeching")" ...et al. I'm sure it is a rrat produced here but wasn't there a Holostar that misused his holo-persona name after graduating and quickly got shut down by Cover? This could also be something they want to avoid. Another thing to add is that the atmosphere in a collab between an active holomen and an ex-holomen could be very awkward.
>>66923119Another NTA, but the same can be said about others who have graduated peacefully.
