Coco's graduation is more or less spot on, there's a lot of stuff from the Chinese side that is muddied and suspicious, HoloCN's involvement in the raids, lots of conspiracy theories about the backlash being artificial and done because Bilibili wanted to shill their own vtubers but yeah the long story short is that Coco was kept around but mistreated heavily by the management side of things, stricter standards from the company moving towards a more "professional" and idol-like image (Despite Hololive becoming popular due to them being the complete opposite from regular idols) crippled her content which reveled on being crude and not idol-like at all. Her chat was filled to the brim with spambots, whenever she did a collab with another talent this talent would also have their chat filled with spambots as well, when she asked management to ban certain antis and turn certain regulars into moderators they did the complete opposite and her now modded antis started banning regulars.Other talents (Aqua is implied to be one) being told by management to keep their distance from her. New years had a massive collab where almost everyone appeared yet she was nowhere to be seen and was streaming alone on her own in the meantime and I'm probably missing stuff I forgot about.
In Rushia's case yeah she got a DM on Discord from a guy in public during a stream, the problem wasn't just this, the problem was this guy is also a very famous Utaite who was rumored to have been living with her in around 2018 or so and his message was "I'm done recording, I'm returning home Mii-chan" which could be interpreted as him returning to their shared home and to boot "Mii-chan" is a very intimate way to refer to her. This guy has a fanbase full of yumejo/fujoshi tripling hers during her peak and whose most obsessive fans were very upset that he appeared to be intimate with her despite him saying he was bad with women and had no female friendships. Backlash in this case came from all over the place but Rushia's fans were not at the heart of it, most were depressed but no big names seemed to want to strike back at her. Vtuber haters harassed her, fans of Jun (a famous JP youtuber who hates vtubers) piled on to harass her, her old antis piled on to harass her, Nijisanji tribalists piled on to harass her, and of course the utaite's fans also went after her.
She tried to use a former NND friend of hers, Korekore AKA Japanese Keemstar as an intermediary to fix the issue and make it clear that they weren't involved romantically but this backfired since this made Cover management pry into her DMs and see that she had apparently been breaking NDAs and so they fired her.
Now her antis used this as justification as to why she should be harassed.
