me when something bad happens and I don't want to disclose it "ah yes creative differences of course", like really, that's the scapegoat of every single breakup in human history
Blud, its not that deep, just normal things that happen after 6 years with a company
no I mean, I find the concept of leaving because "of creative differences" funny because it has been used so many times in human histories for totally different reasons that the term currently has no meaning and it's just empty words used to justify someone leaving something because of reasons
Yeah and? Your making it sound like a negative thing when it probably is as simple as creative differences or personal stuff. Saying it's a common used excuse doesn't mean saying negative shit about something not negative for once lol
i have minimal investment/interest in vtubers, but i would speak to my impressions/observations of people's experiences with entertainers in general... there are many reasons why "creative differences" will easily appear to be an objectionably ridiculous way to explain various kinds of conflict (anywhere from trivial to virtually criminal or even literally criminal), according to some!
there are arguments i have in mind in its defense, like maybe this vagueness is an intentional attempt at preventing defamation or preventing publically voyeuristic destruction of image, which speaks to idol industries and the deeper volatile subsections of fandom culture
but these can also readily obfuscate the depth and substance of particular problems and i could imagine it would even be used to cover up systemically exploitative and abusive conditions in various institutions/industries/companies, although i suppose it can just as likely be a purely interpersonally damaging event...
to my understanding of it, it just doesn't seem that unbelievable for "creative differences" to seem arbitrary enough that someone could think of those darker implications and therefore reflect a negative condition
and yet, hypothetically, it really might not necessarily be "that deep"
in this one instance... but because we are merely viewers of an entertainer who is sponsored/employed by others with interests and guidelines of their own, the extent of plausible secrecy would mean that we really can't always know what "creative differences" means when it could describe any of the things the phrase represents from entirely different/disparate conditions. therefore it is easy enough to perceive as laughably ambiguous or even arbitrary, even if intended to present a specific and explicitly clean-but-opaque inoffensive image for the public
and that flavor of image-management tends to have implications of its own, with connotations that suggest things about the companies/industries themselves, further representing negative conditions
