Ends up blocking a lot of random people who are just asking innocent questions or offering gentle advice.>Blocking people who were being very polite or genuinely asking questions makes Saurei look thin-skinned and bad. Especially since some of those blocked were the biggest EN vtuber artists in the world.>Newegg-style controversy develops: A lot of people who had previously been treated badly by Saruei, but remained silent due to intimidation or thinking theirs was an isolated case, finally come out of the woodwork. >Even DyaRikku, one of the largest EN vtuber artists, claims "a dozen artists" contacted her about Saruei's poor behavior.>At this point the vast majority of people on Twitter have turned against her>Eventually gives a "half-apology" where she only apologizes for a very narrow thing (how she ran the contenst) and sidesteps the bigger issue of a toxic mod and rude behavior>Deletes apology and reposts it with comments disabled due to the near-universal criticism she was getting in response.It's unlikely she will be back any time soon. That's because,
1) She's a Twitter addict that was reviled by her peers and the Twitter community as a whole. I know we love to say "lol, Twitter, whatever" but people forget that Twitter was the single largest part of her social life. Getting condemned by the Twittersphere is laughable to you and I, but a very harsh blow to her.
2) She's BPD and depressive. Even when she was well-liked overall by the Twitter community and her peers, she still took breaks due to depression. How much more now that, as a Twitter addict, she's been shit on by Twitter? Even now she still can't stop browsing it (as per her "likes" activity).
