>>42831493He took a political stance. Which, regardless of your actual politics, is a terrible thing to do as a corporate vtuber. By saying he wouldn't play the game *because* of all the hate people were getting for playing it, he gave renewed vigor to the harassment campaign. He did a good job showing them that their fearmongering was working. Furthermore, by saying not playing it is to "support the cause" he allows people to twist those words to mean anyone that IS playing it, does NOT "support the cause". That includes many of his senpais.
He inadvertently(?) threw a lot of the company under the bus because he was too retarded to just say "I don't plan to play the game because I have a lot of other stuff on my plate already". His *actual reasons* for not playing it don't matter. He doesn't need to tell people that shit and add fuel to the fire, but he did anyways. Also, let's be real here: People watch vtubers to unwind, not to be fed politics. Cute Girls/Boys Doing Cute Things. Discussing divisive real-world-drama-inducing topics like politics and religion is taboo for a reason.
