That offhanded mention of the word Taiwan to refer to a country apparently led to the destruction of Hololive CN, so I don't think they feel very free to say what they want with regard to any kind of potentially political or controversial subjects.

But that kinda just applies to business worldwide when it comes to dealing business in China. Even BTS felt the effects of it.
Well yeah, and I doubt management would let them. I'm just talking hypothetically, it's fun to think about.
Not really, they got Nintendo strike before Cover does (end of last year IIRC) hence why they settle it earlier.
Generally speaking, Niji workaround simply does non monetized stream of the game. the super chat later as chat stream. This one still a risk of DCMA thought.
Only exception that ti can think of if the said guys are musician/singer. Like how Mori doesn't have a problem having Kokorobeat in her stream but Huke in Minecraft does. If Kiara invite Huke for art collab stream. Probably won't generate much heat
Because th-
Yeah, what they said. Just don't get the sense that they're particularly interested in (or need to make) any sort of EN outreach. They have gotten back to posting translated Puchisanji and other clips on their official EN subchannel at a regular pace though (mostly through contributions from the community):

Although I don't think Cover really started their EN cultivation seriously until they took charge of the subreddit in April, but then the question is how did Hololive get so popular and attract more attention in the English fanbase compared to Nijisanji before then? Obviously nowadays the massive fanbase means that things like Korone memes can get a springboard to go viral extremely quickly, but what was driving it at the start of the year?
TBH, Niji doesn't have a particular individual that has the same level of "meme" as Fubuki, Korone, and Pekora. Basically, those who transcended the language barrier. The closest you get probably Lulu with her "normal art student" glare or Gibara's degeneracy.
Does Mio fortune-telling with tarot card count? Personally, I doubt any of EN will talk about politic since they under JP company. At most, they probably ask American to vote.
Kiara was also an actual idol "idol", so she's probably more sensitive to that stuff. Mori most likely wouldn't really give a shit in comparison.
Guess if I wanted to test that theory I could check if her pre-Hololive, presumably independent channel ever dealt with any sensitive subjects, but meh
TBF how many streamers deal with political stuff other than to show their own ass in being a racist/sexist/generally shitty person lol.
It's not like they set out to be political commentators.

Amelia is streaming the music request playlist using Twitch while she's reading superchats: https://www.twitch.tv/bubb4bot
Took forever to figure out where this was since I missed the first few minutes of the stream

Could be, Mussician tend to get free pass, Aki with Guitarist and Matsuri Rikka collab don't get much issue.
The closest someone gotten political was during ame's stream of that convenience store game when she was complaining that she should get a wage increase xD
I don't have a study with percentages on hand here, but I do watch some streamers who don't actively avoid saying literally anything that could legitimately offend someone. Carlsagan42, who's a very popular Mario Maker streamer and biologist, does talk once in a while about disease, anti-vax, issues with the education system and American health care, etc. Zero, though now naught but a smoldering crater after the Smash community scandals, had just before that talked about his experience dealing with US border agents. Though his style of content kind of annoys me, Markiplier has made short, serious videos on George Floyd and gun control. I've often seen other streamers at the absolute least say "trans rights". None of these people set out to be political commentators, it's just that sometimes they have something serious weighing on their mind, they're free to say it, and they have the courage to say it despite it turning off some of their audience.
Hopefully, but hololiveEN is pretty new so we don't really what the policy is for them.
You can look up their past lives to get a gauge I guess.
But for hololiveJP, from what I know generally the younger population of Japan is adamantly apathetic to politics over there, like it's generally not something you being up in a social group. So who knows.

Something I'm legit curious about with this indie vtuber surge is if we'll see more people try and keep their personas (a la Suisei) if they try and join Hololive or Nijisanji in the upcoming generations. I don't know of any cases of this besides Suisei and I know she fought hard to keep that persona.
I would imagine most people would follow the Ame route. In her case her old persona wasn't as guarded in regards to her personal life since you don't have to be as careful with a smaller audience. So my guess is most people would rather just cut bait since they'd be dealing with a fan base orders of magnitude larger than what they're used to so might as well take the clean break and bring as little attention to your old self as possible.
Amelia when referencing what she would want for an offline HoloEN collab: "I want them to beat the shit out of me. I think it would be funny."
As far as I remember after the Taiwan incident Hololive stated that their talents have no political intent in what they're doing or something along those lines, so I would assume they are not allowed to speak about political things. But then again, Coco played Mr. President and she definitely knew what this game was about.
Yeah, chat was pretty confused on that one lmao. Just said she wanted to get beat up cause it would be funny and followed it up with that quote. Amelia the masochist
Immediately followed by "I'm not an M, I'm a switch. Like a Nintendo Switch". Ame sus.
For anyone interested, Korone's 1m special is starting now.
i wonder how long before we are doing online dating through live 2d personas... if thats not a thing already? Haven't really dated much in a decade. i dont know what the ppl are into these days, except my annoying friends keep sending me weird referral links to w/e the newest startup dating app
Pretty sure people date through VR Chat already. Which is...essentially the same.
Now I'm imaging "Her" if the AI had a vtuber persona.
Funny that you mentioned Her since a lot of the Holoen girls love that movie and I believe Gura has sung The Moon Song
Need a video edit of Joaquin Phoenix talking to his phone only for it to respond in a Pekora laugh or Rushia scream of rage
She apparently gets easily emotional to songs.
She said that she can't sing Can't help falling in love with you because it always causes her to cry.
Also seeing the statement from the uploader here (I can't really verify if it's bullshit or not) I think it's fine to share this here?
The Moon Song cover got me teary-eyed too. Such a beautiful cover.
I'm glad she reversed the colours on the crowbar for that one. It looked like the tip was covered in blood at first lolThat's a Bonk worthy post
#asacoco election specials would be amazing.
I'd say that you need both. There's a lot of really good streamers nowadays, even if you only count vtubers. Just like in many other fields of "entertainment", being good alone won't guarantee success. You need to be able to bring your stuff to audiences.
She can summon her hype doggo whenever she wants. The best of friends.
Or lovers.
That's surprising to hear, I didn't know that. It seems pretty baffling to me then that Cover didn't take that as a hint to change their streaming rules before the sky fell under their heads... poor Mio.
