>>87513983I understand that you're feeling upset and frustrated, and it seems like these emotions have been building up for quite some time. When you're invested in a content creator or idol, especially in a community like Hololive, it’s natural to feel betrayed or let down when things don't align with your expectations or hopes. Gura, as a virtual idol, has developed a massive following, and fans like yourself are emotionally attached to her content, her personality, and the joy she brings. When that connection feels severed or neglected, it can be hurtful.
However, I think it’s important to reflect on some key things before jumping to conclusions or making definitive judgments about Gura as a person or her intentions.
At the end of the day, Gura—like any other content creator or public figure—is a human being behind the persona. While she plays a character on-screen, her personal life, mental health, and emotional well-being are deeply tied to her ability to create content. If she’s been inconsistent with communication or streaming, it’s very possible that she’s going through something that she’s not ready or willing to share with the public. People deal with their struggles in different ways, and sometimes they need space, even if it's difficult for fans to understand.
In fan communities like Hololive, parasocial relationships develop—where fans feel personally connected to creators, while creators don’t have the same level of connection with each individual fan. This imbalance can lead to fans feeling neglected or abandoned when a creator steps back or doesn't interact in the way they used to. It’s worth considering that Gura, like many others, may feel overwhelmed by this dynamic and may not know how to manage it effectively, especially if it wasn’t something she anticipated when she first started.
You mention that Gura has "abandoned" her fans, doesn’t care about them, or is acting opportunistically. But unless we hear directly from her about her reasons for being less active, we can’t assume to know what’s going on in her life or what her motives are. It’s possible she’s facing personal challenges, burnout, or mental health struggles that make it difficult for her to engage with her fans or create content regularly. It doesn’t necessarily mean she’s being ungrateful or spiteful. It could simply be that she’s struggling to maintain the balance between her personal life and her responsibilities as a content creator.
It’s completely valid to want more communication and transparency from someone you’ve supported for a long time. Many fans feel that content creators owe them a certain level of honesty or updates about what’s going on. However, creators also have boundaries and private lives, and sometimes they’re not in a position to share everything. Gura may not feel comfortable talking about what’s happening behind the scenes, and while that’s frustrating for fans, it’s ultimately her decision.
It’s easy to feel hurt and angry when someone you admire seems distant or unengaged, but it might help to extend some empathy and patience towards Gura. If she’s going through something, attacking her or labeling her as a "coward" or "horrid person" won’t make things better—for her or her fans. Perhaps she just needs time, space, or a different approach to her career and interactions with her fanbase. While it's natural to want answers, sometimes all we can do is wait and hope that things improve.
Hololive as a company likely has its own internal structure and processes when it comes to handling talent. Gura’s absence or reduced activity is something they are likely aware of, and if it were a serious issue for the company, they would address it. In the end, Gura’s role within Hololive is part of a broader system, and her actions or absence may not be as clear-cut as it seems from the outside.
It's important to voice your concerns, but it’s equally important to recognize that Gura is a person navigating both the expectations of her fans and her own personal challenges. Rather than assuming the worst, it might be helpful to take a step back and consider that there may be more going on than we’re aware of. Idol culture and content creation can be draining, and burnout is a real issue many creators face. It’s possible Gura is grappling with this, and attacking her character or calling for her to graduate might not be the most constructive way to handle the situation.
Your feelings are valid, but perhaps some understanding and compassion could help shift the narrative from anger to a place where healing and reconnection are possible, if Gura ever decides to return in full force.
