I took that as him being hopeful the vtubing culture would evolve to allow it, but he doesn't want to be the first to push in that direction. While I'd prefer him to be more aggressive about it and basically just let the rabbit go nuts to open the way for the medium going forward, I can also appreciate his apprehension given the first one to go against the grain in any community will always get backlash (and having to deal with a hundred complaints a day from Alice 16 she/her ACAB because Pippa did a heckin yikes sounds annoying as fuck).
What direction, unhinged rants about internet lolcows? (one that happen to be open about flagging anything critical of him at that)
It's not about backlash as much as potentially losing sponsors, investors, merch deals etc. which happen to be the main way how this companies make money in the long run. I'm sure she could get a ton of supas but it's probably not really worth it... Also I'm pretty sure she said something along the lines of "I find this stuff interesting but don't want to make myself all about" and "part of the reason why it's funny when I talk about it is because I'm under a company with certain standards, it wouldn't be nearly as amusing coming from an indie" in other words she's actually pretty smart.

The 'wall' occurs because the super active sphere of fans who will subscribe immediately gets in at the start. Because Hololive has such a huge stake in the western market, once that initial burst is over and done with, there's not really another mass appeal market to tap into and so their growth becomes reliant on the stragglers and new fans. Having all the eyes on them at the start is a double-edged sword because it means their debut is their one chance to make an impression.
Other companies have their own unique sets of challenges regarding growth but the 'Wall' affects Holo the hardest. It's present in all companies that hype a debut cycle but, for other reasons, it's not as bad anywhere else.

Not sure what are you trying to imply here, initial boost is heavily reliant on the "box" but it doesn't end with one stream that's why you have concept of a "honeymoon period" and then you also have a long history of scuffed debuts in hololive (Korone might be the most famous example) and members who struggled for a long time with low views, reminder that even after the "N word incident" and some other popular clips Miko was mid-tier and only coming back from this 3 month break she became a powerhouse that she is today etc. it's really not a static situation, especially in terms of CCV.

Ya know she is only 20-21.
Is Uto really? Back when 5ch/Narukami exposed her shady connections with some secret (allegedly chinese) company nips mentioned she's around 30 and had some sort of drama with her former chuuba group. No idea about the discord shit.
 
that's what I mean with going out of your way not to learn anything. if you voluntarily stick to your isolated bubble might as well not be in the country - you also got no one else to blame but yourself
You don't have to go out of your way; if you let your guard down and go with the flow then you'll just naturally drift into sticking with English (outside of the few set phrases that you use in your life). It's like getting fat, it happens naturally unless you constantly fight against it.
if a company is big enough to have international subsidiaries, they're big enough to lean on politicians, least of all pointing out it loses the country money in the end (so it not even a lobby issue or anything, simple common sense). or they're so corrupt on that level they just just ignore it/"have a friend take care of it" or are able to deal with the legal loopholes more easily should they arise
It's not hard to transfer someone under the Japanese entity, just tedious, so the big corporations don't have a problem with it (indeed they might quietly appreciate how it makes life harder for smaller companies). Honestly if Cover are willing to put the work (which they should be given how much she makes) I'm really baffled that there would be a visa issue; even people who were caught working outside their visa usually only get a 1-year ban which would have run out round about now. Unless it's someone who overstayed or was involved in drugs or escorting it just shouldn't be hard (and even those cases shouldn't be impossible if they're willing to write to the minister , like was done for Paul McCartney).
 
For all the shit people give her, I gotta say Mori spending nearly 4 hours reading Superchats from 2-3 months ago is pretty dedicated.

If you didn't check out the Watson watch-along of 5th Element go check it out, she said she hadn't seen it in a long time. She seemed to really enjoy it.

Day 6 of the drought. Here's some Takotime Tax

Islamic Content below for Nui Sorciere's new outfit, who said it's inspired by Tifa Lockhart (FF7) and Martina (Jade in Dragon Quest XI).

I expected way worse when you said Islamic content. That is a really cool design.
 
UNGLOVED? ABSOLUTE SLUT.
From her voice I imagined her to be tiny and probably asian. I guess I got the tiny part right the asian is to be determined.

What are you going to call Mii-chan when you know she also appeared with ungloved hands?

Hey look, a chance to use the new term I learned from Lumi. She doesn't have a boob window, she has a paizuri hole.
Very much like Nene.
NGL, when I opened the first pic I briefly glimpsed "coomer" instead of "commen-". Make of that what you will.
