When they stop streaming as that character.
The term "graduating" comes from Japanese pop idol culture, where a pop idol retiring is called "graduating."
Creepy and weird IMO
And I say this as a bit of a weeb
Its a culture difference. Its not my place to police another culture, I am just saying what the origin of the term is.
Culture is not a monolith
I am not about to say that someone's else's culture is wrong. Even if I personally feel that way, that is only my opinion, and only applies to me and how I might choose to interact with another culture.
I am not an authority on what is right or wrong in a culture, and quite frankly, neither are you.
And as we all know, you have to be a legally recognized authority on a subject to express an opinion about it online.
Fortunately, in my jurisdiction I'm licensed as a RightHandOfKaros-is-wierdologist.
