Just kinda related to Karen's upcoming tour with FAKE TYPE. Curious if Cover/Hololive has any prior experience handling any of their virtual talents' roommates also having relatively high-profile, public facing careers.

Of particular note is that this is going to be Karen's first public performance as DEMONDICE ever since she debuted as Calliope Mori (at least, as far as I'm aware of). With her alternate persona as DEMONDICE being an open secret, anyone here think she might run into some gachikoi issue during the tour?

I'm gonna bet that at least 1 retard shows up to that and ruin it and probably stop the tour. I'm betting on it.

I think that she will be fine. I'm not that familiar with the JP side of her fanbase, but I think most of those kind of problem children are on the EN side of things. From what I gather, the JP side think of her as 'the cool' one (still love that disconnect), and I don't think those are the kind of gachikoi to go out to a rap concert. . . something tells me that showing up for that might be a bit more intimidating than the normal idol concert for them. Still possible, but the risk has mitigating factors.

Probably an autistic question but that's never stopped me from asking questions before. How exactly does the "permission" shit work? Are they needing permission from management or do they just need it from the dev/publisher? If it's the developer I can really only think of Atlus that puts restrictions on that kind of stuff, some other Jap devs probably do too but thats only jap devs. I can't think of any western developer or publisher that actively tells people not to stream their games. Hell companies like Microsoft/Xbox have had clear cut rules on streaming/making videos using their games for almost 2 decades thanks to machinima and they're basically just "Don't use our assets to make another game or break the law". So is it just management dictating what games they think will attract viewers?

She's done performances as DICE before. She likely knows how to handle zealous randoms/hecklers/hostile crowds (particularly in the underground scene, though I'm not sure whether it's the same scene in typically courteous Japan). I'm more curious in how Cover/Hololive reacts/handles it should anything happen, particularly with this tour likely being well-documented on video.

Based on what the girls themselves have mentioned before, they're usually asked what kind of games they're interested in streaming/playing and then Cover/Hololive handles reaching out to the devs/publishers for the permissions. This has been mentioned before earlier in this thread but Cover has already run into this issue before where they used to not be strict about game permissions and then CAPCOM came along and mass copyright struck hundreds of past videos by HoloJP - which then got lost in the ether when Cover at the time overcompensated by mass deleting a lot of these VODs instead of merely privatizing them. It's the main reason why Cover has been very stringent about getting permissions for the games the talent are streaming since a lot of the girls' channels likely already have existing copyright strikes on them from back then and you only get a certain number of strikes before your channel gets deleted for it.

Japanese copyright law is more stringent than American copyright law. From what I understand, members of Hololive typically have to receive permission from management even after Cover as a company receives permissions from the developers/publishers themselves.
