Kiryu Coco was at one point the face of VTubing. They were a content creator that many people knew
based on their English and Japanese content which caught many people's eyes, their sense of
humor which wasn't otherwise seen in the VTuber community, even down to their mouse cursor which
was, for lack of better words, a- how do I- how do I word this? An "insertion device" of their tail and
they were the biggest Superchat earner in the world, earning 85 million yen since December of 2019.
They were a staple in the community that almost everybody knew, even if you weren't enthralled in
the VTuber community and I remember even before I was a fan of VTubers I would see their Clips
on my homepage and be just tempted enough to watch them and often have a great time following their
humor. But before we get into all of that, if you are new to the channel please do consider
subscribing. I make videos almost every single day on topics that interest me and if they interest
me, they'll probably interest you, you clicked on this video after all. Come on, think god damn it,
think. I'm aiming for 100K subs, we're almost there. I would appreciate any help to get me to that goal
so I can have that plaque and then I can look down on all the peasants while I sit at the top of the
throne like a superpower. I'm back from VidCon now so content's coming back. I didn't upload
it the entire two weeks even though I had videos made, what is wrong with me? I'm a terrible person
I'm so sorry... You can also check out my Twitter if you'd like to support me over there, we're aiming
for 10K followers over there and we're already at like 7K so I appreciate all of that support.
And with that being said, back to your regularly scheduled program. If you were paying attention
to what I've said in this video so far, you will have noticed everything I said about Coco was in
past tense. That's because on the 9th of June 2021, Kiryu Coco officially retired from their place in
Hololive, officially dropping the mantle Kiryu Coco and no longer producing content. This all
followed a major controversy surrounding Coco and another Hololive member. This controversy
was so big and so difficult for Coco to get around that it made it hard for them to collaborate with
other members in Hololive. They had to at one point apologize and take a break from making content
and they were constantly facing h*rassment on a level many people never experienced from a
age a group of people within the world, which they simply couldn't deal with anymore. And I think it's
important to discuss that controversy and what exactly happened within it and I'm already aware
that this video is definitely going to get me banned from ever entering China but whatever.
Kiryu Coco was on a live stream when they went through their YouTube analytics and discussed
people from various countries that were watching their content. At one point, reading the country
Taiwan by name. Obviously, this caused upset within the Chinese Community, many of which do not believe
Taiwan is a country and as such, they sent mass hate and h*rassment to Hololive for allowing
this content to be broadcast. As such Hololive, which at that time was involved with many Chinese
businesses and China as a country, forced Coco to apologize and suspended them from making content
for a large period of time. But even after Coco had returned even months later, they were still
receiving this hate and h*rassment and while since graduating, they haven't directly stated
that this was the reason they graduated, it's kind of obvious and to many casual viewers this
is where Coco's story ends. She left Hololive and she disappeared from the platform. That, fortunately
enough, isn't actually the case because Kiryu Coco last year returned to their mantle as Kson, under
a completely different name and free from any kind of management or obligations, they started
to make content again that they felt they enjoyed and can now say literally whatever they want in
their content. Obviously, many people are aware of the fact Kiryu Coco is now Kson people in
China have still continued to send them hate, even though it's less.But now they're allowed to be
themselves, collaborate with whoever they want, and not have to worry about any kind of restrictions
from Hololive. But recently, there was a big VShojo announcement during the VShojo NEXT, their
live show, in which, they unveiled the fact Kson and another VTuber, who is believed to be the
person behind Uruha Rushia, in the past someone I've discussed in this channel previously, because of
their controversy when they were a part of Hololive over the fact they MIGHT be dating another
VTuber, a controversy that seemingly didn't even have any truth behind it, had officially joined
VShojo through this incredibly well animated video. And as I mentioned, Coco's no stranger
to controversy and even as Kson, she still had controversy, like when she was invited to a live
stream by Playism and then removed from that live stream even as Kson because of Chinese backlash,
with the company behind this live show saying, "A very sincere apology to everyone. P-Chan, Playism
had just received the list of guests for this show and we only just learned that Kson was
the alternate name of a "censored" person, thank you to the comments." They also say, "It is not the
mistake of our fellow BiliBili friends who rebroadcast our show, it is our mistake that we
failed to acknowledge the rules of China and No Go people. We are really sorry that we made our fellow
audience feel unpleasant and disturbed." We've already found another guest to replace her and
will be criticizing ourselves for this wrongdoing, and we will move to be more aware of what is
allowed and what is not allowed in China." Which is a f*cking pathetic response from a pathetic company
who have no balls and it's embarrassing that they would post something like this because
someone said one thing on a stream that people in China didn't like. What a f*cking disappointment.
But regardless, as I said, Kson's not one that's new to controversy. So it was no surprise that
people in China were upset when Kson was added to VShojo. With a Chinese VShojo fan content
creator posting, "In the early morning of July 3rd Beijing time, VShojo officially broadcasted on
its Twitch account and announced the addition of a new member Kson, the former Hololive member
Kiryu Coco, regardless of whether Kson joined the VShojo headquarters or the Japanese branch of
VShojo, considering Kson's previous remarks and actions this account will no longer update any
VShojo related videos and content from now on until Kson no longer has any contact with
VShojo. To avoid unnecessary disputes and conflicts, the VShojo related videos published by this
account will be deleted within five working days. If you still have some memories of the content,
please cache or download it as soon as possible. Thank you for your company and support along the
way and look forward to our next meeting. If you have tipped me in the form of charging or money
before, you can contact me and arrange a full refund for you. PS video removal is my personal
decision, she agrees or not, I don't care." And in my opinion, nothing of importance was lost. If you
cannot stand the existence of a person who said ONE WORD, one six letter word that offended you
and you refuse to produce any content surrounding a group that includes them, you're in embarrassment
and nobody should care about the fact you're no longer making this content! It's embarrassing
that you would even post something like this. Some people are so sensitive dude, it's insane. But this
content creator wasn't the only person to comment negatively about the fact Kson was being added to
VShojo. Nyanners's original character artist who is Chinese also had something to say saying that
they do not by any means welcome Kson into the VShojo family or believe they should be a part of
VShoujo, though, this response is now deleted. It is incredibly embarrassing to see so many
people believe anyone cares about the comment they have on this situation. Not to be too mean,
but this person is clearly growing in ego because like you're a f*cking character artist for Nyanners,
you're not some kind of important person in this situation who by any means has some kind of value
when it comes to this discussion. Literally no one cares what you had to say here and I have
no idea why you decided to comment and make yourself look like such a joke. I can't stand
these people, these people who feel the need to complain about something that wasn't an issue
in the first place, but regardless, I welcome both Kson and Nazuna- which is the name of
the person who's believed to be Rushia- to the VShojo family. That's it for today's drama, if
you haven't seen the video I uploaded earlier today, I'd suggest watching it. This is the first
time I've ever uploaded two videos in a day, so I have no idea how it goes and depending on how it
goes, I might do it more often. As I mentioned at the start, if you are new to the channel, please
do consider subscribing I make videos almost every single day and would appreciate any kind
of support to help me reach 100,000 subscribers, and subscribing to the channel means you get to
see more content by me, YouTube will send more of it to you on your homepage so you won't miss any
other content on the this channel about situations that may interest you. And also you can unsubscribe
at any time if you decide this isn't for you. Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time. Peace!
