It is why Filian can make jokes about George Floyd that would get most other Vtubers cancelled.
The jokes have no intrinsic difference in merit, other than that Zaion didn't even complete hers and immediately stopped herself. The difference is just that when you have sufficient social standing you are able to make jokes and comments that others will then disguise for you.
This happens everywhere in human life, over and over, and is a normal part of the vtubing scene, you'd have to be an utter idiot to not have noticed it.
People say 'Japan deserved to be nuked' as jokes constantly, just go on Twitter and you will find endless derivations thereof without massive outbreaks of hysteria or insistence that the comments should be taken as literal serious calls for atomic warfare on Japan. If that is your only allegory then you have even less substance for your meaningless appeals to context then I thought.
There is no need for seething, you just have no substance to your claims. You spend your time trying to just create a way to effectively insist that as long as you feel one way about a thing everyone has to feel that way as well. You spend your time wailing about a ridiculous nonissue as if it has any serious clout and then, realizing that if you were to actually be consistent in your vapid morality for even a second you'd have to condemn Kenji too, you employ semantics to twist yourself into a pretzel where you can paradoxically insist that you're holding to some puritanical standard when the person you are defending clearly isn't and never will.
