I don't agree with the dislike of Artia. No reason has been given besides "she doesn't appeal to OUR secret club and plays both sides so she doesn't have her family ganked by the CCP". If there's some info I don't know aside from this, then feel free to post it here. She seems alright.
I have a list of some problems with her and then I also have problems with her behavior this entire time,
My problems with her content is she doesn't really stream much outside of 2-3 games, that even with hyper focusing on she's not that good with them, maybe League. Her commentary is even worse, no effort to improve her enunciation and her style of commentary is very lame. She at best reacts to a situation with the dumbest trite I could imagine. "Your mom gay" and "what's wrong with sucking dick" are her commentary highlights.
My problems with her actions during all of this an even bigger problem, let's look at a list of things.
1. Artia blew the lid early on HoloCN's financial trouble and employment status.
2. Artia has for 4 weeks, until 1 to 2 days ago said nothing to her Chinese fans about not flaming Hololive members.
3. Artia has had at least 3 meltdowns, done a Bili stream culminating in chastising her Chinese fanbase for making her life worse, called herself a clown and a fool on Twitter and at the same time as the Twitter meltdown, had a meltdown on Discord.
4. Admitted to playing both sides as discussed in what she said on her latest Twitch stream.

5. Her and Civia very quickly performed covers of a song Aqua recorded for a Chinese league tournament hosted on Bilibili. Having eerily similar messages and even more alarming is how quickly it became an anthem and even war cry for Chinese antis.
Let me just debunk the family thing right here and now, as beside her, Civia and reportedly Rosalyn that none of the other HoloCN said anything at all and have been ignoring the drama since it started. They're fine and were barely attacked by antis, at worst a few unsubs on Bilibili. Artia didn't tho, she has very much not stayed quiet in all of this and has even brought Civia along for the ride, who had stayed out of things until Coco came back. There is no threat to their family unless they suddenly spout anti-CCP messages and that's even been confirmed by other Chinese. No, Artia has done this because of one reason. Her dream is to be a big time streamer, much like xQC who she has stated before she was inspired by. Hololive was just a means to get some kind of notoriety as she went so far as to even try and shill her older vtuber attempt on /jp/'s /virtualyoutuber/ threads. She had the most to gain from this drama and she very well might. Hell, she proved she even knows how to profit off this, because of my point 1 in her behavior, by leaking those details caused Chinese antis to re-sub and donate to HoloCN girls, that's her directly influencing people. She's also been sympathy baiting the Western fanbase this entire time with the melodrama of the 1st and 3rd points, yet the only other HoloCn to act worried at all is Civia, who's already going along with what Artia does. Yogiri for example is busy setting up a collab with her designer and other stuff, my point being I have no reason to trust Artia after all this time and drama baiting. That's why I dislike her, not her content being bad or her not pandering to any secret clubs, which is a funny statement, considering she has in the past.
