>>90855386Anon, this entire take is full of baseless assumptions and ignores key context. Let me break it down:
You’re jumping to conclusions with zero proof. There’s no evidence that management "told" the girls what to say or that their responses aren’t genuine. Hololive talents have repeatedly said they’re free to speak their minds as long as it doesn’t breach professionalism. Maybe they’re just handling things like adults?
"Seeing her off with a smile" isn’t some shady script—it’s a common sentiment in Japanese culture and entertainment. It’s about respecting Fauna’s decision and focusing on the positives, rather than creating drama. This approach is better for both Fauna and the fans, instead of encouraging baseless negativity.
Watame’s response was great, sure, but why does that make others "less genuine"? People process emotions differently. Some might choose to express sadness openly, while others focus on moving forward or gratitude. That doesn’t mean they care less—it’s just how they handle farewells publicly. You’re projecting your own preferences onto them.
You’re acting like there’s some huge conspiracy or that the girls care more about management than Fauna herself. But by focusing on positivity and avoiding unnecessary drama, they’re showing respect for Fauna’s autonomy. She’s leaving because she chose to. Why stir up animosity over something that’s clearly her decision?
TL;DR: Stop looking for drama where there isn’t any. The girls are professionals, and just because they’re handling things with maturity doesn’t mean they’re "fake" or being controlled. Not everything needs to be a management conspiracy, Anon. Touch grass.
