It's one thing to be skeptical or critical of Holo management, they've certainly never been perfect, I'll never get over Kronii being ghosted by management for months when trying to get perms, but this was made for no other reason than to spread baseless negativity.
This the kind of shit stirring Mori Calliope was talking about
And it stems from the exact kind of pointless anger that managers are trying to direct whenever they encourage their graduating talents to say something along the lines of "dissatisfaction with the company". If people really fucking absolutely feel the need to get angry at someone, it's infinitely less harmful to have it be the company or its directors and not any individual employee.
You people need to relax. I get that we're living in turbulent times, but there is no need to suddenly treat this like it's another Selen situation, especially since we don't really know all that much. Be skeptical, be critical (responsibly), but we don't need to go all Doom Watch.
We don't even know the exact reason she is leaving. Blaming the company, although they most likely have something to do, is useless.
There is a reason anger is one of the stages of grief. Looking to blame something to vent your frustration on a situation beyond one's control is natural. In this case the easiest target is the company, but even if there were zero targets to vent on people would still vent their anger on someone or something else no matter how deserving of it they are.
Watch, Gura and Ame where in Transit department worker mode since 2022. There is nothing wrong with filling the account and running away, on the other hand, we would only find truths in the next years.
If she stays retired or returns to do a weekly work. Then something wasn't working with the corpo, if she returns and falls on the same patron... it falls on the worker, and that it is.
Towa said it before, the "disagreements with management and the direction of the company" is to prevent a Nijisanji fallout like event, they will never go into details about why they are leaving. Unless some massive bombshell comes out clearly indicating that Cover is indeed a black company, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt; Calli said it best, some people are happy with the changes, others aren't, it's impossible to make everyone happy.
As Gura said, all of the attention made her physically sick, she didn't want to be the face of Vtubing; she had too much talent and didn't have the ego or mentality to coast on it. Gura said she is very shy and a massive introvert, it must have taken so much out of her to put herself in front of so many people every stream and to sing on stage, her popularity exploded far beyond what anyone could have imagined and she wasn't ready for it.
As much as it pains me to see her go, I just want her to have the best life she can get; I'm really going to miss her amazing singing and her adorable antics.
From what she said, she was feeling a lot of pressure, WTF is this about "they treated her badly", just let's hope the person behind the mask has a happy life. Even returning to vtubing seems unlikely, she just wants to do gardening.
