Hololive 5th gen debuted around the time when vtuber was really breaking into the "nerd mainstream." Aloe's graduation had a unprecedented number of concernfags that had just gotten into vtubers who put her into a spotlight.
Shortly after, Hololive EN debuted, bringing a new wave of new fans. Many of these, trying to fit in with the established fans, also started parroting the sentiment that Aloe's graduation was the saddest thing to ever happen in history.
Redditors knew it was easy karma to Aloepost, some of these posts ultimately made it to the meme review thus solidifying her status as a martyr.
That's not to say the events leading to her graduation weren't shitty, I just think most people don't even know why they should feel sad about her and are just trying to fit in.
