Some of you don't really understand what graduation is.

The term "graduation", in vtuber context, comes from idol groups. The point of an idol group, aside from making tons-o-money with music and merch, is to train, build up, and promote up-and-coming talents in a group setting, allowing them to prepare for an eventual popular solo career. Once they've reached a point that they can do that, they may want to "graduate", or leave their "school". Graduation is the intended end point of a idol group position. It is normal and expected. (Of course, people can also just stay in the group. That's fine too.)

Also, for those of you that never had jobs, resigning your position to move on to something else is sometimes just... a normal, mutually agreeable, non-drama move. Sometimes you just need a change, with no fault of yourself or your employer. Sometimes your employer, though no fault or malice of their own, cannot provide what you desire, so you respectfully part ways. The perfect vtuber example of this is Pikamee -> Henya. VOMs simply couldn't provide what Pikamee wanted, so she shook hands with VOMS and moved to Vshojo.

Now don't get me wrong, sometimes graduation has negative reasons behind it. Sometimes it has malice involved. Sometimes it has negligence. Sometimes a vtuber needs to graduate because of things happening in their personal life, such has health issues or family problems. But that doesn't mean that EVERY graduation is a negative event, happening for negative reasons.

I'm not saying all of this because of Chloe's graduation specifically, it's just a trend I've been noticing with the people on this board.
