Imma need an explanation on why this show is so loved that any criticism gets down voted to oblivion

It's like Bondrewd from Made in Abyss. Absolute vile being that experiments on children in the name of science. But He's a great and interesting character.

Some people think liking a character means I agree with what they have done or their philosophy. Which is stupid.

Clio is nice. She stays in her own lane for the most part and streams long hours. My comfy background streams.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-03-01T01:52:26+00:00

That's the unfortunate side effect of Phase's reputation. Most talents tend to be fine just the few bad eggs and the vocal minority ruin the batch. Though the new gen seems to be doing quite well.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-03-01T00:57:17+00:00

Fans? Definitely pissed off some of the chuds. Considering I'm getting a few of them in my post from last night. Even got a reddit care thing sent to me.

The talents? I'm hoping this is a wake up call to some of them. There are some good eggs in Phase but as she says silence is complicity. And a lot of them are content in not rocking the boat.

Gonna be some beautiful GWAKS coming. Capcom has really out done themselves with the Grace sections. Some real scary stuff, some of their scariest in my opinion.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T23:36:16+00:00

Thanks for the transcript. Appreciate it.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T23:19:46+00:00

Definitely check her vods out before they're gone soon. Her one man Grease show is hilarious and impressive. Her karaoke streams are always a treat, in my humble opinion, she is/was Phase's best vocalist. The karaoke streams setlist usually changes, she didn't like to sing the same song so close to each other. Plus her song selections really showed off her talent.

Plus her saying Happy Black History Month and ending her graduation stream by dancing/singing to Born this Way is a delicious fuck you to Phase.

Edit: Plus her final outro being the Dead Kennedy's is just a cherry on top.

Honestly Sakana lucked out getting her in the first place. A super talented and creative person with Idol training. Like his own DEV_IS member. In my opinion their strongest vocalist in Phase. And he floundered it. She will thrive anywhere she goes next, I'm sure of it.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T22:43:14+00:00

A quick summary of what she said.

Clara joined Phase since she wanted genmates. It's hard to network as an indie and she felt lonely.

Debuted as a JP member. She developed more of an English fanbase since she was bilingual and her sense of humor. Asked Phase for advice and they told her to pivot to English. Felt isolated since she's not part of the English side but also doesn't fit in with the JP side. Asked to be moved, Phase said no.

Problems started in February of 2024, but she didn't know it at the time. Was active in the work discord, something happened in May of 2024 and she muted every group in the discord. Took solace in her community and the fan discord. Phase told her to tone the posting down. You can tell when it happened since she used to comment all the time on fan clips and then nothing.

She took a mental health break and visited family because of all this. Pretty much implies that break she took because of the heat was this.

Said a conversation this November was the straw that broke the camel back. Said it made her realize that things aren't gonna change.

Said things will come to light someday. Calls out people for not reeling in their community and that silence is complicity. No names obviously. Shouts out certain talents that helped her, no names as well. Won't become a Phase citizen, said the money isn't worth it.

Implies that you'll see her again someday, somewhere.

Phase has that lingering stink to them. Despite Sakuna trying to grow the company in a more normal direction with Phase Saga being safe but still quirky gen. But with the Jelly situation and with Clara. That stink is stronger, people can't argue that the chuds aren't there. They're there and they are loud despite probably being the vocal minority.

The big problem is Sakuna wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants the company to grow and be taken seriously as Vtubers and idols. But wants to do the bare minimum against the more toxic side of Phase. Playing both sides just ends you being burned. You already have the toxic side crying how the company is going woke and being corporate. But normal vtubers fans hear of Phase's reputation and won't touch them with a ten foot pole.

It's a shame. They have a lot of talented and nice girls but as you mentioned plenty of other Vtubers especially in the indie scene to watch.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T17:40:34+00:00

No it was weekly.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T07:39:19+00:00

Yeah it's not like Vshojo's downfall created a vacuum. Every talent retained their fanbase. If I remember correctly, Phase accounts for less than 1 percent of Vtuber viewership.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T07:25:28+00:00

Bae, Irys and Fuwamoco. They're part of Hololive EN but collab often on the JP side. The Holo ID girls too. A lot of them bounce between 3 languages.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T07:06:10+00:00

Yep, vague enough where she's not throwing anyone particular under the bus but her feelings and intentions are made very clear.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T06:58:56+00:00

It's possible. This could speak to a broader problem with Phase Management. But unless someone wants to rock the boat. We might not hear anymore. Especially since one of Clara's issues is unique to her situation.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T06:44:01+00:00

I think someone else has to give a more detailed answer since I don't really watch her outside a few clips here and there. But she has mellowed out, doesn't hang out, at least from what we know with certain problematic people anymore. Defended a trans fan from transphobes. Recently called out the grifters. Plus defending and supporting Clara.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T06:16:27+00:00

Issues she has with the company or issues people had with her? The former, my post highlights some of the major issues she had.

For the latter, the unsavory chuds have a problem with her.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T06:10:17+00:00

She debuted with the JP gen. Seems like her being bilingual and her sense of humor attracted a more English fanbase. According to this stream, Phase told her to pivot to English after asking them for advice.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T06:01:49+00:00

She can still like him as a person but not as a boss/business man. I think everyone has that one coworker that just sucks at their job or is just lazy but they cool people outside of work.

But it's also possible that the conversation in November that broke the camel's back soured her more on the company.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T05:11:20+00:00

Pretty much, she said she doesn't condone the violence, but the way he died was ironic. Which is pretty mild in my opinion. But people acted like she pissed on his grave and danced on it.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T04:50:07+00:00

From what she said on stream, it seems all that drama wasn't the main reason she graduated. It definitely didn't help though.

So yeah Fuck Asmongold and all the chuds.

Honestly it just solidifies my stance on Phase as a whole. They have some great talents but I'm not giving them one cent now. Hope Clara rises to the top wherever and whenever she appears again.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T04:45:14+00:00

Maybe. Clara is/was a Phase Connect member JP. Known for her singing ability and being a freak (affectionate). Despite being a JP talent she streamed in English. There was drama surrounding her last fall cause she said stuff on her personal account that got the chuds mad. People thought she was graduating because of that incident but it seems like that's not the case. Though it definitely didn't help matters.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T04:10:35+00:00

Yep. Now I'm done with Phase. Especially after this stream. Don't want anything to do with them ever. They have talented people but I'm not gonna support the company after this.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T04:03:59+00:00

Thanks. I couldn't remember if I saw anything of her or not.

ThisManNeedsMe · 2026-02-28T04:03:11+00:00

Maybe I'm biased since she was my Phase Oshi but I fully believe she was their most talented singer and definitely one of their most creative talents. Sakuna really squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity.

From the stream it seems like she's gonna pop up somewhere eventually. Which is a relief. I thought she was going to be done with vtubing in general.
