>>107042204>>107041462To be completely fair, the jap antis sorta have a point. Sure no one is dumb enough to say that this certain cloth is banned from using because Epstein wore it. But if the avatar from the way it dressed to the way it looked has almost exact copy of Epstein (let alone having a name that has similar tone to Epstein) then eyebrows will definitely be raised
In this case this Kouzo guy is no ordinary criminal. He was responsible for the Higashi-Ikebukuro runaway car crash that killed a mother and her 3 year old child, and yet his sentence was only 5 years in jail, which caused the japanese people to claim that there was clear favoritism for the "upper class" and caused massive uproar
This incident was on every Japanese news and even has its own wikipedia page, so avatar like this slipping through management filter is a huge fuck-up from Cover. No matter how you look at this situation, Cover must be held accountable for not fact-checking this avatar, and their crime is intentional at worst and negligent at best
Will this shutdown HoloEarth? I doubt it. Their main audience is Holofans after all so as long as Holomems continue to use it, then it can survive thanks to the loyal fanbase. Will this scare normies away? Most likely yeah because the antis are feeding this drama like they found a new goldmine. Just look at their apology tweet, most of the quotes are from normies who already hated Holo or never heard of VTubers
