>>60125317I'll repost this post because someone in this thread is literally trying to pull off the "Cover is kneeling to China" psyop in this thread
kek I think this is Bilibili pathetically trying to control the narrative regarding the upcoming future of Hololive getting unbanned in China.
Remember that the "ban" on Hololive and Cover corp. was always from the side of Bilibili and Chinese companies.
There's plenty of holos that would love being able to play Genshin, Star Rail, Muse Dash and other Chinese-made games. Cover would also be happy to get Chinese sponsor money while not being dependant on their retarded audience. None of the sponsorship stuff was ever blocked from Cover's side, it was always Bilibili and China boycotting them. But frustratingly for the Chinese, even without any of that, Hololive has been thriving internationally.
I think what's happening here is that the Chinese company boycotts of Hololive that's been spearheaded by Bilibili is going to be lifted soon. Meaning Chinese sponsorships, Chinese game perms etc. Gura Muse Dash, FBK Genshin streams etc. will be returning soon.
Basically, after seeing that Cover and Hololive can thrive without even touching their market, and seeing their "native, national chuuba alternatives" crumble into dust, Bilibili and China will finally be crawling back to Hololive.
They will basically be admitting that China needs Hololive more than Hololive needs China.
But that "China is kneeling to Yagoo/Cover/Hololive" narrative isn't going to fly very well with the Chinese netizens, because that would make them "lose face".
After 2 years of delusions and screaming that Hololive can't survive without them, the opposite being true would be a national embarrassment for them.
This won't do, obviously. And hence, Bilibili agents will be spreading the narrative that "Hololive is returning to China soon".
This sentence gives off the impression that China has the superior position, saves face for them, and allows them to persist in the delusion that "Cover has finally seen the light" after 2 years of snubbing them.
The reality is that the snub was always one sided. China was acting like a petulent child regarding Cover and Hololive for the past two years.
And now that their native chuubas have died off, they have come crawling back to leech some of Hololive's global relevance.
>If any of you guys browse Bilibili, keep reminding them of this fact if you want to see some wonderful Chinese seethe.>It isn't "Hololive returning to China".>It's "China kneeling to Yagoo".
