Hololive, as a platform, has long claimed to champion creativity, individuality, and community. However, recent developments suggest a troubling pattern of mistreatment and lack of support for the very talents that built the organization’s reputation. It’s time for fans, talents, and management alike to critically examine these practices and demand accountability from Hololive’s management. The following is a speech expressing concern and calling for change within Hololive:
Ladies and gentlemen, fans, and supporters of Hololive,
Today, we stand here not to undermine a platform that has given joy to millions but to address the urgent need for change within Hololive itself. This organization has risen on the talents, voices, and unique personalities of the women and men who have dedicated their time, energy, and creativity to entertain us. But it is clear that something is amiss behind the scenes, and it’s our duty as supporters to call for better.
Time and time again, we have seen situations where Hololive’s management failed to protect or adequately support its talent. One need look no further than incidents where popular talents have experienced burnout, extreme workloads, or mental health struggles without sufficient assistance from the company. These individuals have been the foundation of Hololive’s success, yet they are often left bearing enormous expectations without the support they deserve.
Let’s not forget the controversial graduations and unexplained removals of talents who, for reasons often hidden from public view, have had to part ways with the company under unclear circumstances. This opaque decision-making has sown distrust among fans, who feel a lack of transparency in the treatment of their favorite personalities. It raises questions: Are these talents given a fair voice? Are they supported as individuals, or are they merely viewed as content creators to be discarded once deemed no longer profitable?
Hololive owes it to its talent to uphold a culture of respect and support, and this starts with addressing mental health, providing fair workloads, and ensuring a safe and healthy work environment. The promise of “idol culture” should not come at the cost of their wellbeing. The artists, entertainers, and creators who enrich this platform deserve better, and it is within Hololive’s power to provide it.
We urge Hololive to be transparent, fair, and genuinely supportive of its talents. Let this be a call for action, a call for Hololive to remember the very people who elevated it to success and to provide them with the respect, resources, and protections they have rightfully earned.
Hololive, the time for change is now.
