>>20046747For a serious answer and not a bullshit one:
The great firewall. JP girls could stream and do videos on bilibili (zhang weeb youtube), but CN girls couldn’t stream on YouTube (except Artia, kind of)
JP girls were already well known in China, but there was no way anyone outside of China would ever know about or care about CN girls.
By the time the whole Taiwan yab happened, plenty of holobronies were fans of JP and ID, but other than a few Artia fans, virtually no CN fan base outside China
This shit happens with all shit marketed for zhangs. It can’t sell outside China because the whole country is cut off from the rest of the world. But that makes it easier to burn them when you decide you’re sick of Winnie the Pooh’s bullshit
