Astel from Holostars committed the cardinal sin of "mentioning publicly he ordered McDonalds" (tweet / archive). Yes, really.
And his replies got flooded by mostly western fans posting a JP translation (archive) of that stupid boycott infographic as well as several of them having embarassing breakdowns on their own timelines over the fact Astel talked about french fries on twitter. One person went so far as DMing him to "educate" him and was promptly blocked leading to the person having a meltdown of their own (twitter / nitter).

Whether related or not the "storm" concluded with Astel tweeting out (archive) he would be taking a week off. I'm doubting it's a punishment as I don't think Holo gives two shits about this boycott noise and Astel didn't even say or do anything actually inflamatory. Could be he's just peacing out till the dust settles and people calm down, or could just be he's taking time to practice for the upcoming concert for Holostars which is less than 2 weeks away.

New posting is restricted and the only posts from the past two months are from their official account.
Took them long enough to realize how "negligible" the impact has been on the english community.

Thank you for your support for NIJISANJI, including NIJISANJI EN, all this time.
With heavy hearts, we would like to announce the graduation of Liver, Bonnivier Pranaja, from NIJISANJI. Bonnivier Pranaja will graduate from NIJISANJI on May 26, 2024, and there are no plans to hold a graduation stream as per the Liver's request.
Accounts such as YouTube channels and other social media will be gradually closed after the graduation date along with the sale of Liver-related merchandise and voice content.
Bonnivier Pranaja has been active as a Liver, bringing forth many engaging esports-related content for NIJISANJI since August 2020. With unique charisma and humor, Bonnivier has also participated in various NIJISANJI ID and NIJISANJI events, captivating the hearts of many fans both domestically and internationally.
We would like to express our respect for all the activities and works created by our Liver, and we will continue to support the Liver until the end so they can spend time with their fans until the graduation day.
We also sincerely thank all the fans for their support for Bonnivier Pranaja. Furthermore, regarding the period for receiving letters from fans, we will continue to accept letters until one month after the Liver's graduation date.
For any inquiries regarding this announcement, please contact ANYCOLOR, Inc. (https://anycolor.co.jp/contact), and we kindly ask not to contact the Liver directly through our company regarding this matter, whether in the form of comments during streams or other social media platforms.

Art asset scams are notorious in the vtubing scene, and just as infamous are what I'd call recalcitrant artists - artists who seem to take forever when working on small indie clients' jobs but are suddenly on the ball when doing work for more renowned streamers, with few if any updates to their worried clients about what's going on.
Thus, Vgen has sought to implement a minimum guaranteed delivery date of a 2-year period to create some sort of safety net for clients, as well as restricting users' accounts who have 3 or more overdue jobs for clients.
Twitter thread links, Nitter / Twitter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Over-entitled artists were upset at very basic buyer protection measures for works that can cost clients sometimes several hundred dollars (particularly with models or art assets) and seethed about it on social media. The only real direct changes were that Vgen delayed implementing these new measures until June, and pushed back the guaranteed delivery date to 2 years instead of 150 days.
For a day or two twitter was filled with an assortment of screeds about how this is "literally killing artists" by making them work under realistic delivery conditions.
