    I kind of feel sorry for Hololive Moments. I disagree with their assertion that Coco should be punished further, since this all seems to be stemming out of a misunderstanding of the intentions of her actions in bringing up her Taiwan stats. At the same time, they tried to give their perspective on the situation as a group with connections to the Chinese Hololive community and brought up what I thought was some interesting context to the situation, as well thoughts and concerns that seem valid (or at least are worth discussing), but of course since they took the side of the Chinese audience no one is even trying to listen to them, and everyone's just trying to dogpile them with anti-China hate.

    Also, in terms of reasons to be mad at Hololive, I think they should've had the foresight to realize that the cultural difference between Coco, who is from the US (the South specifically), and her Chinese audience would likely present a problem at some point. Obviously Americans have much different attitudes towards things like drugs than people in China, but also in terms of highly contentious issues like Taiwan, most Americans probably don't even know enough about the situation to even realize that they could be causing problems by bringing it up. Whether this means that Hololive should invest more into sensitivity training on issues like this so that their streamers know how to deal with these situations, or that they should just limit certain vtubers from broadcasting in China, idk. Coco's Chinese audience was apparently only 0.7% of her total audience, so it may not even be worth the trouble of sharing her content through official means with China.
