On the matter of disturbing you.
I cannot give you all the details, but I am sure that I have caused anxiety among listeners, creators, friends, and others who are involved in this project. I am sorry for the anxiety and discomfort I have caused you.
When I was going through a mentally difficult time or event, I talked to someone I trusted. I deeply regret this indiscretion.
The matter has been resolved amicably among the parties concerned.
I would like to thank all those involved for their kindness and consultation in making this statement.
I am not sure if it is appropriate to tell you this here, but I myself have been mentally unstable since the death of my beloved cat, which had been with me for many years.
I have been thinking about when I would tell you all about this, but it has been so hard that I have not been able to. I am sorry.
I am going to suspend my activities for a while in order to take a moment to reflect on the problems I have faced and the things I have done.
It may be difficult to do so immediately, but I hope to be able to regain the trust I have lost when I return and to enjoy working with everyone again someday.
Please refrain from speculation and rumors, as they may involve unrelated parties.
We hope you understand.
We apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may have caused.

Actually allowed to make a statement through a letter, then it's probably a lot better than Rushia IMO.

By the way does anybody have a past life information
See above

wasnt she stalked and perved on for a while by a staff member? i bet it was something like her venting about that to someone she trusted and that person blabbing
When that happened she talked about it publicly since she felt Cover wasn't doing enough about the situation. If nothing happened to her back then I can't see why that would cause issues now

That was years ago.
Indeed that happened 4 years ago it's highly unlikely that that was the cause of issues this far down the line.
Tweet (Archive)
also just on the off chance something ever happens with this Archive


Also a random thing just for whatever it's worth Calli has confirmed at the start of her stream that 1: her stream yesterday was cancelled because originally the termination announcement was supposed to happen at the same time as the collab stream so they all decided to just not do it. and 2: Mel isn't going to be a taboo topic that can't be spoken about or talked about. Said she still holds super high respect for her and that she's sure she herself will end up mentioning her in the future and didn't want fans to think it was some weird thing that couldn't be spoken of.

Crossposting this bit of trivia I went looking up prompted by a question from @Airihead over on TVA.
in related questions what's the origin of Un-Hime as a euphemism for suicide?

Did a search of subtitles from Rie streams. These are the earliest mentions I could find of "unhime", though I can't guarantee that they're definitely the earliest mentions because youtube autogenerated subtitles don't recognize the word "unhime" so I searched for "un he" and "unhe".

Earliest mention of "unhime" I can find is from ~3.5 weeks after Rie's debut, but in that case she makes a joke about "no hole left unhimed".

Next mention of "unhime" is ~6 weeks after Rie's debut and this one is used as a suicide euphemism.

 
I'll never understand why they give out perms for this game to streamers who use profanity and make crude jokes but Shiori seems like a natural fit:

Even Rushia wasn't made damnatio memoriae.

Seems it was just a breach of NDA.

I'm connected to the voice acting world and unfortunately, companies go to the extremes to make examples out of people if they even think you breached it.

More recently, there was this one voice actor who did a tiktok heavily implying he was a part of an upcoming show and it essentially ended with the studio not only firing him but putting a leash on all the other voice actors who are connected to that show.

All that aside, this doesn't really paint the most hopeful picture of 2024 imo
We've got commies ruining their relationships for tranny feet.
Rappers keeping women in their garage for years on end.
Jews pouring out of the sewers of new york.
Grifter alcoholic lawyers getting Catfished by buffalo bill.
DSP making an ass of himself and his wife.
And tons of other shit I've forgotten about.
We're only 3 weeks into 2024.

Still feels like a net positive year to me so far.
I'm optimistic that we'll see some silly chuuba shit too in a positive way.
Really looking forward to whatever Selen becomes in a month or so.
 
Man...
I wonder if Cover debated wether they would keep Mel's channel up while e.g. turning the monetization off. Yes, she did broke contract and the punishment is her termination but is there any harm in letting the VODs, songs and 3D lives online? There is less bad blood than during the Rushia situation.
As always: Ragtag has everything except the membership streams
 
Mel was always mellow to listen to and I was enjoying her SF6 videos, and she always had the best initial design of all Holo members to the point where I always wondered why she didn't take off better just in terms of being sexy vampire girl.

She probably would have if she didn't have to deal with Youtube's bullshit over her outfit. She would have streams ended by Youtube for nudity or some shit when there was none. Then there was the whole stalker incident which slowed shit down for her as well. Had she had a smooth start like everyone else, she definitely would have.

Hopefully some Mel fans are working on an archive.
 
Did I really just watch someone lose 2(?) teeth by chewing rocks? Alright, have seen way worse stuff (remember that vtuber that went crazy and ripped off her fingernails?), but this is certainly on the weirder side.
As the resident geologist, I feel obligated to remind people to not be retarded and to not eat rocks.

One of the first things that came to mind after Mel being terminated was how Ayamy would take it. Both were very close to each other and knowing that Ayamy was crying just breaks my heart.
 
This may be already old news since I don't visit this place but every half a year or so; have people talked about how people found out about Irys being married? And not a normal marriage, but a +50yo japanese (music producer) ojisan? It paints her whole personality in a new shade. The evidence is so obvious you would have to be ferociously blind to not see it.

Can't say I've ever heard of it, what evidence for it is there?
