Bilibili is not happy. These Japanese vtubers are funneling money out of their country. They want more control and more profits. Nationalists are not happy.
They start putting more effort into their own chuubas, but hololive is still too popular. They need to get more control over cover's money.
Haato shows her youtube analytics - the Japanese title shows "viewership breakdown by country" and it lists Taiwan.
Some Chinese vpn's connect via Taiwan, but not all the time, so the data isn't really inaccurate. (there are a lot of taiwanese fans too)
Cn seething.
Her video gets dislike bombed and there are many vocal arguments against her and cover on twitter.
Coco does the same thing on asacoco.
Bilibili erupts.
The asacoco video is taken down while Coco was doing an unarchived singing stream and she is confused about what happened (she sounds upset and worried for a few seconds, but continues singing)
Next day - no apology from Coco or haato or cover.
Dislike bombing continues.
Meme review with roboco is full of spam in the chat.
Comments about how this is the 4th time cover has fucked up and asking Coco why she did this after haato made the same mistake.
We later learn that Coco was asked not to respond/give a statement (what's she going to say? That cover fucked up? They lied about training them on topics/words to avoid? No way cover is going to let her throw them under the bus)
After the second day hololive is considered an enemy of the One-China policy.
A narrative is made that Coco did this on purpose to protect haato and that she never cared about China as she's a filthy American.
Bilibili usually doesn't allow discussion on politics, so anyone who tries defending this is banned.
One by one all hololive rooms are locked.
Cover suspends Coco and haato for 3 weeks.
They claim haato can come back, but the evil American woman (who is corrupting hololive and bringing western capitalist culture to make all the holos whores) needs to be fired.
