It's interesting browsing shipping tags on Twitter and randomly seeing bursts of Chinese tweets. It makes me wonder, are there really so many Chinese people that watch Nijisanji for the sole reason that they didn't outright spurn Chinese viewers like Hololive did? Because it's weird, I would think there would still be Chinese fans of Hololive even after all the drama, because people are individuals and not a hivemind and there logically should be Chinese people who like specific VTubers regardless of company or nationality. The same way I'm an American and I still find myself liking Indonesian VTubers. I don't boogeyman China because I lived through the Iraq War demonizing an entire country and I'm not falling for it a second time. So I know that there must be individual Chinese that still like Hololive, but I only come across them in Nijisanji. Maybe they keep quiet in the Hololive fanbase for fear of being attacked but they feel comfortable speaking in the Nijisanji fanbase.
