I mostly dropped them all already. The collabs are one disaster after another and individual streams failed to convince me. I had high hopes for Watson and shaaaaaaaark but alas.
@zemichi@Kagekokoro@Umi unfortunately, they don't have the option of ignoring them because of holoCN. The only winning move was to not play with China, ever, but now they have an obligation to somehow resolve it.
I think chuba business blowing up also played its part – some have a desire to make others kneel and chinks are no different. Haachama and Cocock merely provided a casus belli.
@Kagekokoro@zemichi@Umi they've been seething about Taiwan since before war, it's a bit of srsbsns for their national pride (and commies actively stoke those feelings)
@Kagekokoro@zemichi@Umi both Haachama and Cocock bragged about their viewership and mentioned Taiwan. Bugmen were pissed off and now hololive is banned on bilibili, YAGOO suspended both girls for three weeks (under excuse of publishing stats and „insensitive statements”) and issued a kneeling statement that pissed off bugmen even more to the point where they're demanding dragon removal. Haachama is spared some of that ire, likely because of the timing and because bugmen are also haatons.
@Umi leddit dragon dug her own grave tbh, Cover can't really ignore bug screeching because they have a branch and employees in China. And she mentioned Taiwan in the immediate aftermath of Haachama getting some backlash, no?
The only winning move is not to do business with Winnie the Pooh in the first place.
:gib: :rokalife: I don't reply to most of masadong „privacy” scopes so don't bother sending me anything but public or direct message (and in the case of latter, note it's NOT private at all on fundamental level) - unless you really want a reply that strips those away. I usually just ignore those though.
