![]() While it's stupid this happens and could easily be tossed up as Chinese Jingoism, Racism or Racial Superiority complexes, it's a lot more more subtle than that. Some people have brains so shallow and tiny, their mouths are literally larger. Imagine getting mad at a VTuber just for mentioning what's shown on YT's analytics. What's new this time though is ASUS cancelling their sponsorship deals to bend their knees to PRC. Even though the decision was made by the branch company in Japan completely independent to the Chinese nor Taiwanese branch, it still shows how big of an influence PRC has over trivial matters, which they escalate to justify their actions of bullying companies that won't cooperate with their agenda to submit to them.ĮDIT: There were some information that the Chinese branch pressured Japan branch to cancel the collab or face threats of disruptions of the broadcast The industry's growth has been exponential especially this year.ĪSUS sponsoring Vtubers isn't any different than them sponsoring any other YouTubers, in or outside of Japan. In one stream, she received more superchats than LTT channel ever did in total. I understand this is not a fair comparison for someone who streams daily vs weekly so here's an article on how much Twitch streamers make. At number one ranking is Kiryu Coco, earning $1.3 million since her debut barely a year ago. 7 of the top 10 channels on the list are vtubers, 6 of which affiliated to Hololive and 6 more trailing in the 11-20th rankingss. This is the worldwide ranking for total superchat revenues. Tweet from associated talent, basically "stream is cancelled"Īlso OP's quote is obviously machine translated (first link is DeepL equivalent translation of second link), proceed with caution. Names mistranslated:īai Shang Chuxue = Shirakami Fubuki, Mao You Xiao Porridge = Nekomata Okayu, Lion White Peony = Shishiro Botan, Dragon Heart = Kiryu CocoĮdit: For those not in the know, here's more context on how big the vtuber industry is. Here's a link to a reddit discussion in r/hololive regarding the current event, but it's locked because it got political. ( Crossposted in r/VirtualYoutubers) I mean sure, they can continue growing and ignoring it, but this kind of controversary will always pop up here and there. There is just too much global connection to China to really avoid it. ASUS from my understanding is a Taiwan Company, and yet they still got undermined by China influence. And though they released Hololive CN, unfortunately China market is just to large to avoid. This is all over the fact that two of the vtubers mentioned Taiwan in their Youtube Analytics, and they didn't get fired for that. I've not followed in detail the Hololive company actions closely, if they closed China office, does that give them more freedom to do what they want outside? Not that it'll stop the petty spam going on.ĭon't really see any easy way out of this political problem. It is one thing to say, just operate outside of China, but if you are a global company with a presence everywhere, that's not really an option. I had wondered, just how much is China market worth to Hololive company? This is also a question I guess in general wider market, like Asus. Reddit Summary of How Controversy Started I was wondering if Linus had to deal with any of these Anti's, especially when he had to deal with the Blizzard fiasco. It's also amazing how this all started with just the Vtuber's mentioning Taiwan in their youtube analytics (more information in sources). I just find it sad that tech companies keep dealing with these situations horribly such as Nvidia/Hardware Unboxed & MSI Scalping. Of course I'm a fan of Hololive, but I am also a tech fan. The editor responsible for managing ROG China’s official account completely disregarded the official identity, venting his nostrils with Chinese netizens, and made arrogant remarks saying that “I am trying to intervene in canceling the live broadcast at night”, “Kikou nm will die (Holo, your mother will die),” It’s on the neck of the boss.” The news spread back to China, and many Chinese netizens started to make trouble on China’s ROG official Weibo. However, after the Dragon Heart incident this year, Hololive has been tagged by netizens on the other side and has become one of the fixed targets of attacks. In the evening, they invited Bai Shang Chuxue, Mao You Xiao Porridge, and Lion White Peony to come for a wave of annual business and industry for their own products. Today (17) Japan ROG, originally scheduled to cooperate with Hololive’s Vtubers again. ![]()
