>>90649913>it would be completely illegal for holoEN and holoID.Besides being wrong about the unicorn thing (actual unicorns do not want their idol to be in a relationship), you're also wrong about this.
If you go to work in a different country, or in this case, work for a foreign company from home, you are not entitled to your own country's worker's rights unless you are working for a branch office that is incorporated in your country.
You might ask, "what about the new hololive office in california?", which would be a good point and certainly anyone working there would be entitled to protections under US and California law, however all hololive members are contractors employed directly by the Japanese office, and so the laws governing their employment fall under Japanese jurisdiction.
As far as the legality of love bans under Japanese law goes, there are mixed rulings on it. Essentially, they are not allowed to demand an idol compensate the company for damages to their reputation or ask a disgraced idol to compensate the company for their investments if she is caught dating. However, they are allowed to deprioritize her in promotional events, generally divest from her career, enact punishments like demotion to junior status, demand she attempt to regain fan trust through some kind of apology, or if her career is deemed completely unsalvagable, outright fire her. Cover doesn't seem to have such a ban, and operates more on a don't ask, don't tell policy, leaving the decision up to each of the girls individually, as long as they never mention any such relationships on stream or in any posts on their personal accounts after joining the company.
