/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>72417263
Ever since I saw them completely squash the Chinese branch, I am very confident that whenever a serious company threatening element pops-up, they will just cut it, sooner or later but they will inevitably cut it.
Alas that also means cohercing by isolation talents into giving up on the job if needed to protect the larger company. See Coco.
We will be fine.

>Haato and Coco say Taiwan
>They target Coco because only Murican holo ATM
>They want Holo exclusive content because they are getting dripfed Aqua and Fubuki bilibili stuff weekly while JP gets stuff daily and Coco greets Japanese and Westerners (most noticeably, Americans) every single morning.
>Use Taiwan as excuse to pressure COVER day and night.
>Harass Coco with a Gorillion bots, deepfakes on NFSW and turboDoxxfaggin everyone they can, spread misinformation about other talents and even shit their chats if they dare mention "Dragon" at all or Coco and sometimes even Haachama who went into a suspension/rest
>Artia ends up commiting several fuck ups like watching "Dragon Warrior" (Look the movie up)
>Cover decides to pull out because even the other talents are getting hit by the blind fire, but the HoloCN girls are told by CN management that they are negotiating with COVER so they will keep their VTuber IPs.
>Bots, shitting, continues on turbo.
>Artia kermits SeventhTtrumphet tier yab that I won't detail.
>Cover who by this point had decided that China was indeed a huge risk after completely fucking over Coco and messing with the other Holos, decide to flash hybrid graduate/terminate HoloCN branch as fast as possible under YAGOO's orders.
>A fuckton of dirt about the CN girls surfaces, save for Yogiri and the hat girl (I think)
>Yogiri in particular is 400% innocent and was caught in the crossfire, she just wants to be an idol man, fucking sad
>Turns out HoloCN office lied and they told the girls that there were IP negotiations, there were never ANY at all, they just didn't want them to instantly leave.
>Girls find out the above mentioned
>Artia has a massive breakdown in an unarchived stream that to this day is still lost media even in Chinese circles who saw it live, there's only screenshots of the event with the CN members mocking her through the NicoNico-like hovering text
>Bots and antis PEAK in activity, even /vt/ became a sort of trench warfare battleground for a while with CNs trying to kill threads with coordinated bumps, derailing conversation and posting bullshit like roommate stuff and fake information. People being banned left and right for being retarded on both sides.
>So many bots hit Coco and even other vtubers and people that YT actually contacts Coco to test some obscure experimental antibot solutions they had been cooking but had not fully been able to test due to never encountering a situation to deploy them, now they had a proper test subject by accident.
>Coco activates antishield 9000 or whatever live
>Chat slowdowns considerably, Works at 70%, still at least it helps
>Bots and harassment, albeit slower and fewer, don't stop
>Coco, who had by this point been prescribed sleep aid meds to help her rest, breaks down due to pressure and announces graduation not long after (Infamous Kanata comforts Coco video happened a few days earlier if I'm not mistaken)
>Mind you, Hololive also had a minor hand in this pressure as she was practically collab and interaction shadowbanned to avoid the drama expanding HARD to other Holos, also her projects got shutdown repeatedly too.
>But in the end, the CN harassment is what truly made her decide to leave.
>Coco is kill
>CNs shit the board saying they won
>Some beyond truly retarded schizoantis mess with bilibili mods for cleaning up their shit and schizoposts all-around the platform because it is illegal or just breaks ToS.
>They doxx AND send death threats to bilibili mods and other CN dudes that want a ceasefire because it is over
>Power tripping and even thinking of messing with other VTuber corpos like NIJI
>A minor issue arises however...
>CN internet is heavily monitored
>CN authorities get involved after mods report bullshit of highest degree in-detail + the above mentioned
>Some people unironically get their PCs remotely shutdown or even arrested for cybercrimes
>Some unironically hide or try at least
>Some get citations or knocks on their doors and officers telling them to shut it down
>Everyone is scared shitless as the anti leaders get fucked one by one and the anti stuff slowly but surely dies down completely as weeks and then months go by
>Western anons beging a slow unorganized cleanup and report Github CN bot repositories, nfsw site deepfakes and twitter n other social media doxx posts to get them deleted for breaking ToS.
>Success, mostly.
>At least 1 to 3 recorded /vt/ instances of chinamen getting signed up to the PLA by an indo doxxschizo (probably bannde by now) anon who found and scoured accounts in Twitter by just identifyings writing patterns
>One guy went completely offline after that so people assume he got pulled into the army by force as he made some concern posts
Some of the events might not be entirely right in timeline terms but that's more or less what happened that I can remember to some degree.
There's also more Tia stuff but that's completely irrelevant unless she becomes a crypto overlord outta nowhere.
