I don’t even know what a vtuber retirement is. When they stop streaming?
When they stop streaming as that character.
The term “graduating” comes from Japanese pop idol culture, where a pop idol retiring is called “graduating.”
Creepy and weird IMO
And I say this as a bit of a weeb
Its a culture difference. Its not my place to police another culture, I am just saying what the origin of the term is.
Even weirder how hololive forbids talking about their new carreers as if their dead not graduated
It’s not just a Hololive thing; Vshojo was an outlier in that it’s talents could maintain their identities when they left the company, but every other Vtubet agency does the same thing.
Didn’t Vshojo have their own variety of fuckery?
Yeah, they stole half a million in donations their talents had made for a charity
Embezzlement/fraud iirc. But it was small proportionally in total viewership:
The real comparison would probably be between corporate and independent vtubers overall.
Vtubing terminology is the single stupidest aspect of the entire thing.
It’s literally just Japanese idol terminology
Their point still stands
Oh i agree completely I’m just saying that’s why its so weird. I was just being too minimalist in my comment i guess because otherwise i feel like I’m rambling
Most of the time, they move on to other projects. Like when you graduate highschool and go to college. The term comes from idol culture and often times when an Idol “graduates”, they move onto a solo music career, form a group with other graduated talents, pursue an acting career or simply become private citizens again.
IDOl CulturE iS SO toXIC!!!
Yeah, so is the culture around child actors/musicians in the west.
Dooby, Saba, Mint, Doki, Nimi, and Henya.
All my oshis must be Jason Bourne, because they survived the kill squads and returned from the dead.
Edit: How could I forget Henya?
