>>44025470for as much as i don't like the bugs either, china is largely responsible for Hololive being a thing at all. they were largely paying the bills while hololive were still pretty small time and streaming both on youtube and the china one. and the chinese guys were like cool about too like championing hololive. most of the early clip channels / translation stuff were those chinese guys trying to get hololive a larger audience. and we know this because when all the shit went down they sided with china and went dark. really crazy stuff
and so along comes the taiwan incident and they all lose their fucking mind, but that's obviously not the whole thing. coco never got with the chinese, she nearly never streamed on their service. maybe because they already hated her because she represented america, or maybe because of that. hard to say.
things then got worse still because one of choco's best friends fubuki, the number one fucking person on their youtube, heart of hololive, publicly tells them to go fuck themself, then abandoning their platform, because they were trying to exert their will over her. like hey we're bankrolling you, and we don't like this choco person. well ok fuck you china
and then two months later you get haachama saying it accidentally which who cares, but then choco jumping on the sword by doing it too, deliberately, or not, to antagonize the already very upset chinese people
