Recently, one of the most popular members of Hololive was banned for three weeks by her own company for reading off viewer statistics. One of the countries listed was Taiwan, and apparently just reading that fact was enough for Chinese fans to start harassing her and a couple other members of Hololive who defended her. The parent company, Cover, has a foot in the Chinese streaming market, and to protect their profits and VTubers there they decided to just ban the offenders.
Obviously the blame lies on Cover for instantly throwing their own employee under the bus for saying "Taiwan." However, all the dumbasses on Reddit think that it's a big Chinese conspiracy, and that the CCP will assassinate the members of Hololive China, or something stupid like that. Typical Reddit Sinophobia.
what does it have to do w/ china tho?
