This is a very small scale example of a much larger problem, where huge swaths of the populous will back something objectively evil or insane. ...And make no mistake, the black stream was just that. Even if you believe Doki to be some sort of evil mastermind, to attack a popular suicide victim, after seeing the reaction to the termination notice, was at the very least utterly insane, and if you don't believe her to be that, then it was outright evil. Yet it was a premeditated act not of just one person, but an entire committee of them.
To back that behavior is equally insane or evil, and yet here we see a hundred plus people doing just that. Even if you believe Elira was forced to do it, under threat of having her visa revoked or being liable for 12 months worth of earnings, to reward that act by giving her money is just insane, doubly so, knowing at least half of it goes to Nijisanji.
No amount of exposing the people doing this to the truth of the matter will change their behavior or even make them question it - I know that from painful experience.
It isn't a uniquely American problem, sadly, but it's one I see affecting increasingly large portions of the populous over the past decade or two, and I have no fucking clue how what to do about it. I've seen it so many times, set against much larger issues involving millions of people, that it's utterly terrifying to be so powerless to stop. This is just a case study of a global cancer that infects whole nations, enabling acts of otherwise unimaginable evil.
But at least it's just vtubers this time.
