Even if you set aside 100 of them individually and successfully root out the motivations for their behavior, they will still choose to continue doing it. The fact that a lot of it is coming from one place isn't really relevant. People neck deep in this kind of self-soothing impotent anger encourage one another to act this way so that they don't feel alone. This inevitably attracts more people who are prone to this sort of behavior.
There are pockets of antis just like this for all sorts of vtubers on this board. It's all the same kinds of people even if it's not the same exact people responsible for all of it. It's a waste of time thinking too deeply on it. Even if you could single one of them out the chances that they would actually be honest with you is essentially 0. I'll summarize it. They act this way because it makes them feel better, and they seek out people who will do the same thing because that also makes them feel better.
Shit like this is why it's so important to gatekeep that shit out of generals because once these mongrels get a foothold they will attract more people like them. Then just like that nobody will ever be able to have a genuine conversation about the vtuber the thread is supposed to be about because everyone's seething behind 7 layers of irony while all of the reasonable people were disgusted by this shit and left months prior.
