Thanks to Leon

Fucking manipulative bitch

Why even bother at this point?

Retard detected

You're probably another robot post but they have to fly back from Japan and recalibrate from jet lag and the fatigue of performing live at holofes

I know your nijiphasewactor indie shitters don't have to do that so you wouldn't understand

>>45547734
leon is just too handsome

>>45548246
You chumbuds are always rushing to defend her abysmal work ethic.
>you don't understand, she needs another 3 months off because she's tired!

>>45548246
>mih fatigue
Holy fucking cope

>>45548246
Reading a cumbud cope is always funny, because it's always proof they are only subbed to Gura and doesn't follow even any other Holo, otherwise they'd know that for some mysterious reason the others don't have the problems their lazy oshi has.

>>45548246
Mumei's sick from like 8 different things and she's still streaming for her hoomans, anon.

>>45548246
anon I flew from EU to the west coast and back again a couple months ago, timezone difference of 9 hours. It took 2 days at the very most for my jetlag to pass. And it just meant my sleep schedule was a bit off, something that literally does not matter when your job allows you to work at whatever time of day you feel like.

I like it when Gawr Gura calls me a stinko.

>>45548064
She's just like me...

oh nice management finally forced her to sit down for an hour long stream of probably some shitty indie game that she doesn't have to put effort into playing.

>>45549270
>Mumei = parasocial
We know. Her own hoomans are begging her to take better care of herself.

>>45548246
why don't other holos have this problem?

>>45547734
>"s-she just means the next weekend...!"
>meaning Gura actually takes a whole week before she streams after the Holo Fes
>not even post-fest zatsu or a stream schedule
>meanwhile other holomems already back at work the very next day

>>45547734
>end of month stream, see you end of next month!
Like clockwork.

schedule just dropped

>>45552119
>used to stream 5 days in a row
damn what fucking happened?

>>45552119
2021 my beloved

>>45553446
she stopped

>>45553946
Found out she'd get more money for doing less so she stopped

>>45552119
>6 streams in one week
2023 Gura would NEVER

>>45547734
maybe

>>45547734
You don't even need to ask. You KNOW the answer is going to be "no". She's throwing in a stream to be able to say that she streams on her channel "more than once a month". Maybe also so that she can get a couple thousand extra dollars on next month's paycheck. That's it.

>>45547734
Yes. Only one week for her to fly home, take a break , rest up and come back for good.

Chumgods won.

>>45547734
THIS TIME FOR SURE

>>45548246
>performing live
You dumb nigger. She prerecorded holofes weeks ago and has done nothing since then. "Recalibrate" my ass. She's literally asking for a break from her break

Gura calling me a stinko makes my peepee twitch. Verification not required.

>>45564732
It's the latest cumshart cope. Nothing more. They have to find some new excuse for Gura's shitty work ethic every time she "comes back"

>>45548246
Ahh, the fatigue of performing for 15 minutes at most in 2 days.

>>45548246
>prerecords holofes in february
>sHe NeEdS a WeEk oFf

Why don't cumchuds just watch someone else? At this point Gura seems more like a mascot or something, she's the face of Hololive but doesn't need to stream.

>>45547734
>we
Who's "we"?

>>45570836
that's what i did and it has been awesome. my new oshi is just the best.

>>45571195
Bae, Fauna or Kiara?

>>45570836
Not a chumbud, but I did leave my original oshi. If Gura didn't show so much contempt for her fans she might have actually become my oshi. But I'm not going to make someone that if they don't respect me. My current oshi cares a lot. That's literally all I want

>>45571663
no

>>45571963
don't tell me it's a goddamn niji, anon

>>45572412
fuck no lol

>>45547799
How's the coma been?

>>45571663
>>45572412
NTA but same situation. This is why I switched and why I'm happy with her.

Streamed with a literal fever because she loves us and gives hard dates and talks to us

>>45550070
The NFL only plays once a week. Most profitable sport in the world.

>>45573604
and the schedule is announced weeks in advance

>>45570836
Not gonna lie I'm actually thinking about it. I didn't realise it until just a few minutes ago, but I'm legitimely annoyed by the uncertainty over what she's going to do. I miss listening to her karaoke and it just seems so far away now... like a memory. It's already in the past. Like she left it too long. idk, I don't wanna feel this way and I know it's not right to 'expect' things of vtubers, but I'm actually really despondant. I hope she's okay, but I'm sick of her.

>>45574067
I'm amazed that it's taken you this long...

>>45574067
Why would she not be okay?
If anything, Gura is suffering from success and laziness. Nothing can excuse being this unwilling to stream and not being transparent with fans other than her knowing she can get away with it.
I don't mean to sour you even further on her, but to me that's the logical truth. If the people that are still all in on her don't care great, but at least they shouldn't have delusions for her being how she is, is how I see it.

>>45574357
This, basically. You can tell because she constantly lies. And I'm not saying this to shit on her, I genuinely like Gura when she streams. But the amount of times she's made "promises" that turned out to be complete bullshit are too many

>>45574067
It would be normal for her to set expectations by explicitly telling her viewers at least a few times a year what she generally plans to do. Gura instead kind of vaguely hints at things going back to some undescribed "normal" or says nothing, which is very bizarre and deficient compared even to Youtubers who upload a single 15-minute video once every week or two. A reasonable effort to set viewers' expectations would have been for her to say some time last summer or fall that there would be a major reduction in her live stream activity.

>>45574357
Chumbuds are psychologically identical to people who still support Trump after he backstabbed his own supporters. They can't move on because they've already convinced themselves that nobody else would ever have them.

>>45549270
That aged well

>>45574759
Nigger, she streamed yesterday with a fever.
She also communicated everything multiple times ahead of time
It did age well, unironically

>>45574759
The only reason she isn't streaming is because she has to travel to a specialist doctor and literally won't have her setup. Not because tummy hort. We know this because she told us, unlike Gura

>>45549270
>He not only simps for the Orc girl but also flaunts that fact in front of chumchads
roru roru

>>45574357
We don't really know what goes on behind the scenes and their NDA limits what they can say about Cover related work issues. I don't buy the official story that Ina, Gura, and Laplus went radio silent for 2 to 3 months for health reasons. It's easy to see that Laplus missing a holox 3D collab pissed off management. Well it seems likely that for some reason management was angry with Gura and Ina.

HoloEN went from signs of suspensions and malicious compliance to agreeing to release dakis and Valentine's Day merch. It might not happen until the summer or fall but there will eventually be a major change that will explain the infrequent streams and their radio silent breaks. I would mention that talents that wanted a redesign sometimes had to fight 2 to 3 years to get them.

>>45578760
Sure, but I'm not talking about Gura fucking posting her emails she has with her manager, her flight tickets to Japan on Cover dime (I want to imagine they pay for those), etc.
Just a simple
>hey stinkos, gonna be working on projects for a long time, i will let you know when we can hang out again!
and just periodically interacting with fans like that. And not finding the time to stream even one thing is just the most unbelievable thing to me, but again, I'm not here to change the minds of people. All I'm saying is people should be somewhat realistic with why Gura acts the way she does. I think I have enough reason to have that sort of skeptical outlook - she is the way she is because she knows she's the face of Hololive, which is a position she never wanted, and knows she can get away with doing that.

>>45578760
You're implying that Gura went on strike or got suspended due to not getting stuff like a daki, yet here we are with a daki and she still doesn't do shit

>>45578760
Gura said she was pushing for more music projects and that she really wants to perform in an orchesta, Cover wants their version of Nornis, you will see, also there's the usual stuff as well such as Umisea, BD, concerts, being a guest in someone's 3d live, 3 years anniversary, etc. A waste of time to explain all of these things to antis.

>>45548246
>performing live at holofes
>performing live

>>45580310
yes dude, i'm sure that's why she has only streamed three times this year.

>>45547734
What did she mean by "this weekend"?

>>45578760
Nah dude. When Ina came back she's been like a new person. She seems way more engaged and happy now than she's even been and had gone back to full time streaming prior to the fes break. Your rrat: slain.

I wish Gura a similar recovery for the chumbuds.

>>45581183
But Gura already came back worse than ever. The chance for that "recovery" is gone

Surely she's coming back for real this time, right chumbros?

>>45581092
it's vague on purpose

>>45547734
>stinko's
Is it me, or does it seem like everybody on the planet forgot how to use apostrophe's at some point?

If Gura doesn't enjoy streaming, she shouldn't stream. If she only enjoys streaming occasionally, she should do that. Streams are only fun to watch when the streamer is also having fun. And like it or not, Gura is in a position where she doesn't have to work. She can do whatever the fuck she wants.

>>45549270
That's her decision.

>>45556945
6 streams in one month is a more achievable goal, no?

>>45574029
Imagine if vtubers were like the NFL, free agency, the draft, a vtuber combine. A pro bowl that means nothing. They can even use Yagoo as the commissioner without a spine!

>>45578760
Oh man, this excuse again. There is 0 actual evidence of all of this behind the scenes company drama causing Gura to go silent. Ina was sick and used it as an excuse to be lazy. Laplus is JP and has management. Cover isn't going to stop Gura from streaming. She is the #1 EN talent. She chose not to stream. Stop making complex excuses.

>>45581872
Once a week for Gura would be huge.

>>45581763
She should, actually, if she is contractually obligated to. Gura is not an entity without masters, she is a Cover employee.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying whoever. She is big enough to get away with shit others only dream of.
But I wouldn't want to watch or want to get hung up on a vtuber that no longer enjoys streaming.

>>45582987
This. I like that Hololive seems to be very flexible as far as talents setting their own schedules, but those talents clearly also have some amount of responsibility to their bosses and coworkers. Pic related.

>>45564732
>>45570178
Gura was in the MC section, which means she was there live

>>45581763
It doesn't work this way when she's collecting membership money on the guise of consistent content "SOON" that she keeps leading her viewers along with. That just makes her a con artist

>>45581763
>If she only enjoys streaming occasionally, she should do that
Then she should come out and say that. Come and set the bottom line instead of leading people on a merry-go-round.

>>45583931
>thinking Gura MCing for 5 minutes warrants a week break
She's got you dumb fucks trained, doesn't she?

>>45584249
>she prerecoreded
>gets told she was there live
>lashes out instead
anonchama...

>>45584294
You stupid nigger, I am talking about the bit that took EFFORT. Learn how to speak english before sharting your words onto a comment.

The discussion is about her taking a week break. No one is discussing the MC bit because it has nothing to do with it. Retard

>>45584425
see
>Gura was in the MC section, which means she was there live
Anything else you're talking about is irrelevant to my post

>>45585031
No one gives a fuck about what you posted. It's off topic to this thread. Go make your own to discuss how amazing of an MC she is

>>45585121
>nobody gives a fuck
>continues to give me a (You)

>>45585387
Kids, go play in another thread while the adults have a mature argument.

>>45573604
The NFL airs games Sunday, Monday and Thursday.

>>45580016
What I am implying is the daki from Gura and Ame were bargaining chips. That it was more than money and they were making deals with management.

>>45581183
>She seems way more engaged and happy now than she's even been and had gone back to full time streaming prior to the fes break. Your rrat: slain.
Ina has become more optimistic but have you considered why? She had two previous breaks in 2022 so it's odd this specific one really lifted her mood. If nothing changes this year than you can say the rrat was slain but my guess is Ina finally got the redesign added to her contract.

>>45586417
Kek, isn't that the schedule Gura promised months ago and stuck to for like 2 weeks?

>>45578760
>>45588096
You're bending yourself into a pretzel to justify something simple, dude. Just accept she's lazy and move on. Either watch her occasional stream or watch someone else. Don't come up with elaborate rrats to make excuses

>>45581704
>Something something retarded girls are cute

>>45588096
Oh yeah. I don't know what you watch that makes you think company politics are this interesting, but it is all in your head. Ina said she was sick. She feels better. Shocking isn't it. A better rrat is that she has a boyfriend and all the dick is lifting her spirits.
Consider Mumei, she says she's sick, but actually it's a plot by the illuminati. Cover is run by freemasons and the illuminati have recruited her to break into their top sekret facility and steal Haachama's recipe book.
