The majority of overseas fans are now westerners, with fewer holos pandering to bilibili
Chinese fans demand more exclusive shows by holos on bilibili.
They agree, do a few shows, but not frequently.
Few promises for live shows are made, and forgotten
Aqua mentions Taiwan. They get pissed but mostly keep it down.
Choco mentions Taiwan. Then start losing it and make a stink.
Official Apology given with the promise of training the talents on "what sensitive words/topics need to be avoided"
Pekora gets called out for promising some events but not following it up.
Suisei attends an event but they fuck up her 3D model and are humiliated because of it.
Numbers start coming in about how irrelevant they are and how much more interested the holos are in the EOPs compared to them.
Meanwhile the western community grows with awesome fanart, music, and multiple TL channels replacing the cn hololive moments channel.
