But even ignoring that factor, i'm an eop. I don't speak chinese, so i never watched her chinese streams. I have no idea what she said to her chinese fans. And even beyond that, i have no way of knowing how genuine everything she said was.
What i can say and recall about all of it was that it was extremely stressful for her, and caused her to have those onstream breakdowns. Near the end of her life as artia she claimed that she just wanted people to be happy, that this wasn't a place for politics because she was just an anime girl who plays video games.
And from continuing to watch her after the reincarnation, the whole ordeal changed her. at least in her EN streams (and on the EN side of her discord server), she was never the same. What was once my oshi didn't exist anymore, her reincarnated streams didn't have that same spark that her hololive streams did. And as we know, she stopped lying to herself (that she wanted to keep streaming as her reincarnate) and fully retired as a vtuber.
I don't know how much she did in the beginning, and how genuine she was with her EN fans originally, but with how much it affected her i think she honestly really regretted what happened.
Unfortunately i was just a fan, while i was a dedicated fan, i wasn't enough of one to go digging through everything just to figure out everything. I just really liked her streams and watched them all, until i stopped enjoying them (after the reincarnation). I didn't enjoy digging through everything, because i didn't care, it didn't affect my enjoyment of her streams, and whether or not she did what was alleged against her, i still didn't take it too seriously as i just preferred to keep watching and enjoy what little time I had left with my oshi.
