Her wii fit adventure stream is the total opposite of Noel's.

Noel plays on turbo-hard and the whole chat is creaming their pants with her moans.

Luna plays on baby and the whole chat is worried about her health.

it helps that noel is known for working out and being in shape while luna nearly tore her head off her neck falling out of a chair

I'm pretty sure that arguing online about Taiwan gets you a few easy Social Score points so expect every mainland Chinese person to be voicing their displeasure. Especially the desperate people whose score is down close to reeducation-gulag level.

this is just depressing that a government can foster a culture of psychotic nationalist revanchism and use that mass of individuals to inflict horrific monetary damage on any individual insufficiently submissive

On the bright side, China's 4th seed is getting poo poo on in Worlds so that's one victory against them. Still, the fact that China is so adamant on pretending Taiwan doesn't exist and their actions against Hong Kong are disgusting. Feel powerless to do anything though :smith:.

I don't think "an esports team doing bad" is a strike against an oppressive government, just the people playing on the team. They didn't do anything, man.

I don't even know how non-CN viewers would even express "gently caress you" to Cover. Stop having anything to do with the other streamers they enjoy? That's both hosed up and untenable, and it's lovely as hell that only one party in this seems to have leverage.

Please look forward to superchats trying to get other girls to say "Taiwan" and get them suspended too until everyone forgets about this in a month or two

uh, no

reddit's basically saying the same stuff as this thread

you, specifically, have had the worst take on it I've seen

I mean, saying there's a segment of people whose displeasure with China is less caring about human rights and more just being pumped there's a country it's socially acceptable to be xenophobic towards all backed by a US state department that has a vested interest in fostering this view isn't wrong. It's just not applicable for the hololive subreddit.

I fell down the rabbit hole right into a gigantic pile of poo poo.

I feel bad for the CN and EN girls, CN for the obvious reasons, but I think Cover's gross mishandling of this situation is gonna stop a lot of the growth for the EN girls. Coco and Haachama at least have established fanbases in Japan to fall back on and despite the massive amount of subs the EN girls' following probably isn't all that tied down to them.



Then again people are still eating up Blizzard's poo poo even after what they did was worse.

This is absolutely going to blow over.

I would hope that behind the scenes that Coco is working with management on this "resolution" because if she's being treated like this without her input, I would think there's a very real chance that she's going to gently caress off and start a competitor, and probably pile drive hololive into the ground after a few years.

Why not? The entry costs to the industry are basically nill and everyone provides their own equipment anyway. Covers big selling point is managing and protecting the talent which they are failing fantastically at.

Cover almost definitely also pays for the character designs, the live 2d models, the 3D models, the studio sessions, the travel expenses, etc
