Kiryu Coco was a Virtual Youtuber from the popular Vtuber Idol agency Hololive, she chose the name Kiryu as she's a huge fan of the Yakuza games.
This is my main take away from this. Like their "morals" are all over the place.
Coco herself said quite a few times she graduated due to creative differences between her and management. (which anyone that follows her knows she was butting heads with management for a really long time)
I'd like to bring this up even though it has already been said in this thread: she didn't even say Taiwan. She showed the analytics page for her YouTube account where Google showed Taiwan as its own country.
It's a piracy website. They're not paying Sega anything so no reason to respond. This is actually a positive for them.
I don't even think that most Chinese people care about geopolitics. There is still a huge portion of Chinese that are poor and undereducated, and the middle class Chinese are just trying to get by. It's not like trust in the government is always absolute either, there has been a lot of criticism for how they handled coronavirus.
That's the gist, except for that first bullet point, she never actually said the name Taiwan iirc, only showed it on screen in her viewer analytics page.
Yes, the CPC is popular, which shouldn't come as a surprise given that they can be reasonably argued to have uplifted millions of people out of poverty and turned China into a rising power on the world stage.
Never said they weren't authoritarian, in fact it's their popularity that allows them to get away more brazenly with these sorts of abuses since people will just turn the other way or justify it in some way. If they weren't popular, the CPC's iron grip on China would've collapsed long ago
