History Trivia / Hololive

** The Indonesian and English branches, [[ValuesDissonance whose audiences do not share this concern about purity]], have had swearing, sexual jokes and collabs with males from the start. This led to holostars having more collaborations with their Indonesian colleagues than with their compatriots (particularly with Ollie and Kobo), and the first hololive/holostars original song duet being between Rikka and Calliope Mori. However, the English branch is similar to the Japanese branch in that while some talents are okay collabing with men (like Calli, Ame, Bae, Mumei and Kronii), others choose not to mention or interact with them (like Kiara, Gura and Fauna).

** Sora is often said to be the only traditional idol left in hololive, not participating in streams revolving around drinking, sexual themes, or anything of the sort. However she has no otherwise reluctance to collab with her racier colleagues.

** One particular taboo of the idol industry that is that female idols are forbidden from having any interaction with men. Cover Corp has no restriction in place prohibiting interactions between their male and female talents, leaving it entirely up to each individual talent as to whether or not they want to collab with streamers of the opposing gender. There is, however, without a doubt that said taboo has played heavily in the decision from some of the hololive talents, such as Noel, Flare, and Miko, to not collab with male streamers, for fear of backlash from extremely devoted fans. On the flipside, Matsuri, Aki, Suisei, Fubuki, Choco, Calli, Subaru and even Sora have done such collabs with little scandal.

** Shortly after the 5th [=HoloFes=] and Axel announcing the reveal of his second outfit (set for March 21, 2024), Altare would reveal on his on the post-Expo talk on the [=19th=] that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtzOZZalppM&t=4121s he would not have an outfit of his own to reveal.]] While he had one in the works, he was not satisfied with as well as not proud of what would have been the final product, leading him to ultimately scrap the project entirely.

** For many, their first exposure to hololive is likely Fubuki's Website/{{Vine}}-like covers (called "Fubukiposting") in Website/FourChan and Hamburgaga's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaqLk1YCv-s remix]], or Iyger's translation of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqHs4VTb2FU Matsuri's band-aids story]]. Along with Miko's early viral moments, they are among the first clips to start the trend of both remixing and translating content that would eventually lead the hololive's big boom.

** Sora's fanbase is officially called "Sora-tomo" ("Sora-friends"), but she's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD2S8NQm9as fond of calling]] her first thirteen viewers on Website/NicoNicoDouga the "Knights of the Round Table", an overseas FanNickname for them that Sora discovered and used herself.

** Many hololive-related channels got temporarily demonetized between late 2019 and early 2020 for various reasons ranging from the expected (Choco's [[ASMRVideo ASMR streams]] being [[TooHotForTV too erotic for YouTube]]) to the puzzling ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtUWhsAzcRY "reused content"]]). Hololive's appeals, including the higher-ups at the main channel, fell on deaf ears, and it took the intervention of a totally unrelated English third party [[labelnote:*]][=TheQuartering=], whose help was half-unappreciated by [=VTuber=] fans due to his political leanings[[/labelnote]] and some [[https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/ewzefr/youtubes_tweet_after_restoring_monetization_to/ angry]] [[Website/{{Twitter}} tweets]] to get affected channels back on track.

** On December 2nd, 2022, [[https://twitter.com/ceresfauna/status/1598799172827639814 Fauna was sponsored]] by Website/{{Crunchyroll}} to play ''The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden'', only for Kadokawa Corporation to block the stream on copyright grounds. It is likely that Kadokawa did not get the memo about Crunchyroll's sponsorship.

** Same with Miko and her ELITE nickname. Website/FourChan kept calling her this in chat due to "being elite" (usually for not very elite things) being a meme on itself in the site at that point. She wasn't aware of this nor knew they were being sarcastic, so she rolled with it anyways, and the name stuck to her permanently.

** One of the first projects announced for Hololive Alternative was a Website/{{Twitter}} manga centered around Marine made by doujin artist Mizuryu Kei. However, the artist broke ties with hololive shortly after the announcement for nebulous reasons, which [[https://twitter.com/cover_corp/status/1371627292422643712 caused the manga to be scrapped a month later]].

** During the Tempus Website/{{Twitch}} Takeover weekend, Vesper was supposed to play ''VideoGame/XComEnemyUnknown'' for his 24-hour endurance stream. Unfortunately, Cover was unable to get the permissions on time, so Vesper decided to play ''VideoGame/{{Factorio}}'' instead.

*** On the evening of February 10, 2022, a (false) notion of Rushia dating music producer/utaite Music/{{Mafumafu}} sprouted from [[https://twitter.com/ohinagakoyomi/status/1491902097939333133 a stray Discord notification]] of a DM from Mafumafu that appeared on her stream during a ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Online]]'' collab between her and Miko Sakura, causing a perceived YokoOhNo from both fanbases. However, in defiance of the expected drama from such an incident, Rushia's own fans, including the super-invested ones, remained supportive and heard her out. Cover also issued [[https://cover-corp.com/news/detail/20220214b/ an official statement]] stating that they do not interfere with the talents' private lives and have been working against the misinformation this incident has invited.\\\

** Ludokano initially gained recognition among the fanbase for his comedic animations, generally of Bijou and other Advent members, before exploding in popularity for his infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs_OxX5TEW8 Sticking out your gyatt for Nerizzler]] music video. Come 2024 April Fools, Cover officially promoted his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQAqPLNHYz0 trailer for Advent]] on their main channel that's best described as a meme-laden acid trip.
