Ignoring the obvious things like being part of a big corporation with a lot of fans, she worked because of the company "expectations" of being an idol.
Comedy comes from contrast, you can't have boke without the tsukkomi. Coco's demeanor clashed with the idol image, and this was more apparent when she was collabing with the other members who were trying to keep their seiso image and clashed with Coco, creating funny moments.
This is a more general observation, but the idol expectation works in favor for every member, because when someone says motherfucker it is seen as taboo. It's the same energy as those "Try not to laugh" videos, or trying not to laugh in school during classes. It makes you laugh even more.
Obviously Coco was more than this, and she was entertaining on her own, but her persona worked best when in hololive because of that contrast. Going to another company, she just becomes another vtuber that says motherfucker or has a bikini outfit.
I don't say this to point out that this is right and what she did is wrong, she left hololive exactly because of those expectations of being an idol, these are just my thoughts on why I think she doesn't feel the same as when she was in hololive.

I think this is the best explanation. That content can be really fun, but like everything, it needs moderation. Too much of one thing will kill any enjoyment it has.

I really don't care what Chinks think. I fucking respect Coco. But Coco isn't KSon also I hate Veibae

coco was popular because she was very japan leaning. now kson is going from japan to amerimutt.

>> No.28100972

Besides the obvious which you spelled out, kson doesn't care anymore and doesn't put her all into streaming like Coco did. Retirement job is right.

She despised "having to be" an idol because of the limitations put on her (often retroactively after she had already done it so she couldn't do it again). She enjoyed the concept but not the reality of it
I don't really agree with the point you're trying to make, but what you're saying is probably mostly true in fact. However it's ultimately up to her what she want's to do. She clearly felt that her time there was up, and no amount of seething from any side will change anything.
Still, we don't need 15 threads on this board about her.

The issue is that every entertainer/artist under that kind of corporate scrutiny will end up leaving or making poorer quality content anyway. Fighting constantly with management and higher ups and mentally draining and anyone with common sense would settle for less money and fame to get a better quality of life.

The retention rate for Hololive is sky high though. The only people who have graduated of their own will (Rushia got fired, so she doesn't count) are Coco and now Sana.

This one was far better than the other bait threads. If the amount of Coco threads cannot be reduced, I would rather all of them are something like this. The threads will also die a lot faster

If we want to be more precise, Coco and Sana are inappropriate examples.

Coco = made the taiwan incident. Coco said this incident made Cover lost a lot of big chinese sponsors, some Holos were unhappy (membership stream near graudation)

Sana = super low streaming frequency (a different scenario with Aqua, Shion, Ayame etc)

Things DON'T work out for these two Holos. For most Holos, there is absolutely NO FUCKING REASON to resign. If you are pioneer tier Holo like Shion, you can stream only once per month. How hard is that?
Coco left due to freak accident, and Sana wasn't a suitable candidate for streaming career. (I can't explain how she got it without Ina nepo rrat)

The reason cucko was popular was because
>dumbass zoomers genuinely think her "humor" is funny
>american degenerates masturbate to the idea of corrupting foreign cultures/subcultures
>she reinforced the stereotype of retarded obnoxious american, which makes insecure nips feel superior for 5 minutes
>'I like whatever is popular' -mentality

Man, if only an Asacoco-style show could come back at least once a week or month. It was a very good way to have a nice recap of funny or interesting stuff, while being a way for many members of Holo to interact and be shown a bit of spotlight.
Wasn't Asacoco how Mukiroze was Bron too? Or at least made as popular as she got.

She didn't want to be an idol anyway, Regardless of all the shit with China or muh creative freedom.
