>>23576747The big difference is Haachama wasn't an American. That's it, Coco being a big bad 'murcan is what really set off the wumao schizos there.
So NijiEN being a mix of actually-western dudes is likely to also not get nearly as much of a break. Vox is British and bongs were literally the source of the so-called century of shame in China, you'd damn well better believe that seeing a British man coming into their turf and successfully wooing their women is 99% likely to drive them up the fucking wall and they will take the first chance they get to try to fuck him up.
Given how protective Vox's fangirls are and (presumably) not being inherently as strongly jingoistic/xenophobic, I'm not sure how the dynamics of that would work out vs Coco's fans themselves being dudes, leaving no counterbalance of a level-headed counter. Even if his fanbase successfully tries to convince the wumao to hold off, if the CCP itself decides it doesn't like him they'll either boot nijiEN out or make him a shameless CCP shill.
