>>16848601By "taiwanese" probably like 70% of those NTD superchats are in fact mainland Chinese girls as for some reason almost all Chinese specifically use Taiwanese VPNs to connect to the outside world. The CCP has effectively banned kpop in China. So, some of those fans looking for something to fangirl over with each other openly have taken to weebism and vtubers looking for an alternative. These are very recent developments, literally like 3 months ago recent, and Luxiem just-so-happened to come about right when they were starting to look for other things and caught their interest.
THAT, is your actual explanation to this mystery, it's the Chinese rather than specifically the Taiwanese. Chinks are what saved Luxiem and it wasn't ANYTHING to do with a pre-existing vtuber audience in the west at fucking all.
Given this situation, Cover is actually-fucking-dense if they think they can replicate NijiEN's success since those mainlanders aren't gonna support anything from Cover anymore. You might argue "well chinese girls probably may not give a fuck about the coco thing" but chinese guys do... aka their relatives, parents, boyfriends etc in addition to any gung-ho CCP drone friends. If those guys hear they're supporting Cover talents such as a HolostarsEN, they might get shamed/bullied out of it, it's not safe socially to like them anymore.
