The only hololive member I'm aware of that's confirmed gay is Matsuri. She has talked about her ex-girlfriend, as well as brought up her fear of getting too close to the other girls, as she doesn't want to develop feelings for them. Matsuri is very much hopelessly gay/bi.
In contrast, the other "canon" pairings I am familiar with are TakaMori and OkaKoro (I'm less familiar with Noel/Flare, but they are apparently very close). TokaMori never feels genuine to me. Afaik, they did not know each other before joining hololive, so their chemistry is very weak. OkaKoro on the other hand are close friends, and you can tell. Their playfullness feels very genuine, even if it is just platonic.
The thing people need to remember, is that simply following kayfabe isn't enough. Just because they play flirtatiously, doesn't mean they are attracted to each other. They all do this. The information Matsuri gave was deeply personal in nature(she is very open and intimate with her viewers; to a fault I would say), and speaks to aspects of her life that we simply don't know about the other girls. Please temper your expectations, and take the yuri goggles off when dealing with real people.

^NoeFure is pretty much confirmed, especially considering they bought custom pair rings that are meant for married couples. There's also the interview they did with Tamaki. That interview pretty much cemented it as "canon" for me. There's also the fact that they're considerably more lowkey about their relationship compared to other "couples" (especially last year, where Flare was hesitant to say much). I've often found that when people are trying to be subtle about something, it usually means they have something very real to hide.

@BV: Ah okay, thanks!
@SpencerSDH Yeah some people need to remember that while shipping the characters can be fun it's best to not bother the streamers about it. I know people sometimes annoy the streamers with it in chat, questions, donations, so fourth. That's an unfortunate side of shipping.

I like that Kiara doesn't even try to hide that she's into Takamori

^I like how she doesn't even try to hide she's into girls in general.

^ well like with many others she can just be pretty good at acting for fanservice but who knows, she does give off the vibe.
On the other hand, Kiara we're curious about your dream diary ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

@juanelric If memory serves correctly she started the Takamori ship in the first place, including the ship name.

^ The name Takamori was coined in one of Kiara's strams, but not by Kiara herself, tho she did endorse it in that same stream.
