For context, this game got pulled cause it called Xi Winnie the Pooh, which is pretty silly but you can always count on gamers to make themselves look worse.

    lol the anime head is from a vtuber called coco. she and another vtuber got put on haitis for a bit apparently for acknowledging the existence of Taiwan and now every weeb who watches vtubers hates china now.

      Its more stupid than that. Haachama and Coco were just looking at their youtube page that shows who is watching from where. Haachama pointed out there were a lot of people from Taiwan for some odd reason and the same thing happened to Coco. The speculation is that Chinese viewers of Hololive use it as their exit country for VPN so they can watch streams.

        Makes sense. Damn shame g*mers and w**bs have co-opted one of the very few apolitical weebshit products out there from reactionary as fuck Japan.

        To the gulag with the whole lot.

          They didn't even get in trouble with any government body as far as I can tell, a bunch of extremely online Chinese chuds just made a giant mess online about it

            The only thing that they got punished for was showing their stats which Cover Corp(Hololive's parent company) was saying were confidential. They had a big press release about it and everything. Sadly its one of the only reasons why I go to reddit any more. The /r/hololive sub is ran by Cover Corp so its the main way to get news.
