The Dodgers won one of the most exciting games this year 8-5, even though Ohtani went 0-5 with 3 Ks (strikeouts) on his birthday.

The actual collab itself went perfectly, but the controversy is in the way that the merch was handled was really bad, as there was only one tent for all of the Hololive merch for the collab and the line for the event went all the way around the stadium, and was apparently the largest line for merch for a Dodgers collab in the history of the team. The line lasted for over six hours, from 5:30 PM PST until they finally stopped at 1:00 AM the next day. With Anime Expo being the same weekend, that helped boost the attendance, but I think overall the sheer enthusiasm that the line shows me is that vtubing becoming mainstream is an inevitability, and it's up to vtuber fans to identify 'tourists' and stop them from doing their bullshit.
I'd say the Taiwan stuff with Coco was their biggest controversy, but in other news, did you see that Mikeneko cosplayed as Rushia for Tanabata, the Japanese holiday for making wishes.
I feel awful for her, but she put herself in this situation. I just hope the rumors that she apparently joined Wactor/910 aren't true because I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies.
Fucking hell, that CAN'T be true, sure she's the Amber Heard of the Vtuber space but that company is at least in the top 3 of black companies for Vtubers, only competing with one that wanted to use an UNDERAGED (think she was 15-16) girl to be behind a sexualized model and talk lewdly and another involved in tax scandals and suicide attempts

I am very much hoping this is not true, for her sake. She's genuinely already put herself through enough, but leaking to dramatubers has consequences.
