Discussion Kiryu Coco graduation

Well, I'm not sure how many people are around here that care about Vtubers, but I figured I'd at least make a thread about it for the few hanging around. You probably all know by this point if you're involved in Hololive, but one of the most notable members for the English viewers, one I'd argue played a huge part in bringing Japanese vtubers to the west, Kiryu Coco (kaichou) will be graduating coming up July 1st.

Here's a link to Cover's official announcement on the matter that they put over on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/nvlymp/announcement_of_kiryu_cocos_graduation/

Most of the people I've spoken with are at least a bit sad about it, so I figured I'd see what you guys have to say about it.

 

@The Everdistant Utopia

*sad Alice noises*

 

Oh no for real??

 

... wow, I just stopped at 9gag and here I am spotting this as well.

Yeah this is kind of sad.

Who is betting that it is the "Taiwan is a country" thing that got her kicked off?

I mean, the only time I noticed a vtuber is because of that. Still didn't watch her works though (so many R34s...)

 

So sad to hear this
But what sadder for me is the probability one of the reason for the graduation is the continuous harassment by CCP extremists.

 

The whole spam issue did seem to be taking its toll on her for sure. It most likely contributed to her decision.

 

Yeah, yesterday was bad when those extremist harassed other members chat when Coco was collaborating with them.
Imo Coco graduation just giving them more fuel

 

It is, but it's unreasonable to expect one person to face that for so long. The fact that she's lasted so long with all that has been impressive in and of itself.

 

wait srlsy? no more of my favorite adidas wearing duragon? is the major reason of her graduation due to the trolls and antis or is there any else?
I dont want my duragon to graduate because of those losers it makes it seem that they "won".

 

That's true. I was really impressed that she endured for so long. I thought the positive support can overwhelmed the negativity but I guess when it started encroaching other people and forcing self exiled, that might broke the camel back.
I thought YouTube already solved the spam bot problem.
Thank god "someone" birthday stream yesterday were somewhat without problem?

 

Most definitely, imagining them gloating just pisses me off, and I usually don't give hoots about vtubers.

So anyway to advise the chatroom mods to find these fuckers and ban them? To hell, charge them an exorbiting prices to even enter.

 

Reasons weren't really disclosed, but it was her decision and Cover decided to respect that.

 

The mods did their best but those fuckers using bot to spam nonsense. Recently YouTube implemented that the account need to be verified to filter out bot accounts or accounts using VPN. It seems the extremist found a way to counter this already.
Usually mods and holo members just closed the public chat and only opened it to members but in their mind, this created exclusivity and excluded non members making them the collateral damage victim.

 

I haven't particularly followed Hololive EN, but from what I've seen at the beginning as well as the reception, Kiryu Coco seemed to be one of the trailblazers for the content abroad.

 

The new anti-bot measures is only at Coco's account since she's a beta participant of it.

 

I think watch the news some vtuber that married before. Maybe something like that ?

 

I think that's one of the weirder hypotheses I've heard. I doubt that.

 

But could be ? Majority of them is in prime age for marriage already and I've seen streamers that end up marrying during their career as well.

 

A friend of mine and me was talking about this during the morning ironically. While it is a sad happening I honestly can't say I hadn't expected this to happen. Many other vtubers had also stopped and graduated from being one just from smaller controversies or issues which is really unfortunate but the only thing we can do is just wish her the best and try to protect other livers from the same unfortunate thing happening again.

Have a cocoa because I miss her way too much already.

 

I don't know if there's people here who watches VTubers but apparently Kiryu Coco of Hololive is about to Graduate in July 1. She was like the first Holo EN to me and she was also one of the most important person to help connect Overseas Viewers to Hololive. Today is such a depressing day even the weather here is very cloudy.

Pain peko

Thanks for Everything Kiryu Coco.
