Personally, I think Connor's take on Hololive is a hit or miss. Obviously this Br*tish individual knows what's he's somewhat talking about due to the fact he currently resides in Japan, where the Idol industry and specifically Vtubing, is where it's got it's traction to become of the most popular and decisive forms of media in the last couple of years. With Connor holding such a prestigious and popular podcast called "the Trash Taste podcast" with the hosts of Joey (TheAn1meMan), Garnt Maneetapho who is colloquially known as "Gigguk", and Connor Colquhoun also known as, CDawgVA due to his voice-acting career varying across much of the anime medium in Japan. The Trash Taste podcast also allows guests from differing sides of life to join in, in particular interest to this discussion, is Calliope Mori, who once was an underground rapper from the underworld, and is now a prominent Vtuber under Hololive due to her skills with the microphone. They have had Mori on for 2 podcasts, each with varying degrees of quality and questions, however, even with this idol who is the Cover Corporation, Connor still misunderstood her premise and finesse of certain talents when it came to his controversial opinion of which, anybody who joins into the ranks is guaranteed stardom, regardless of their talents or lack thereof. Obviously this individual is misinformed and perhaps did not grasp the concept of talent within Hololive, since a majority of them go through strict and rigorous processes of selection which they narrowly pass with thousands of participants with less, equal, or perhaps even more skills than the current Vtubing generations. Cover Corporation looks for what might intrigue either a niche of individuals, or a swiss-army-knife of talent with a jack-of-all-trades approach to hone in potential viewers. With this in mind, Connor is speaking not only stupid, but is spewing dangerous rhetoric which might lead other people to form a similar or worse opinion on the process of Idols. Maybe an underlying cause of this opinion is his close relations to another Vtuber who
@ToroidalBoat and I have discussed earlier, Ironmouse. Ironmouse also happens to be a successful Vtuber with close relations to him throughout the months. She also is in a competitor company of Hololive, shamefully called Vshojo, which includes less than talented individuals with varying degrees of skill or no skill at all. Perhaps Connor was influenced by the company to make his presumptive statement about Hololive and especially in accordance with Iromouse, who he has close relations with? Who truly knows. This is a very divisive topic which usually boils down to mud-slinging and ad-hominems, but for me, I’ve reached a certain level of judgement on this opinion which you people here on this forum may or may not agree with, which is understandable, but in conclusion, Connor is extremely dumb and I would not have sex with him.
