What the heck is going on here

[kgmi]

Review bombing?
Someone get me up to date?

[raltus]

Short version. A vtuber named Kirsche was sponsored by the game after apparently giving it a boost by showing it to her community. There has been a cancel campaign going on against her, which includes a garbage article on VICE. The devs listened and dropped her. Now her community, which bought the game because of her, are leaving negative reviews in response.

There's zero evidence that suggests it's because of the article. No statements have been made by IGS in regards to any of this.

Its obvious it was cause of it.

They painted the entire thing and her in a negative light when hilariously, their "proof" clip actually debunks them.

And the devs being spineless cowards betrayed the person that carried their game when it wouldve likely being completely ignored and forgotten otherwise.

All cause of fear of some idiots from the Woke movement that only harass and cancel people over pointless things.

And wouldnt you know it, a big portion of the playerbase were fans of her, cause you know, she got them to play it in the first place, now the devs backstabbed her and the fans are rightfully pissed.

Hope the Woke points were worth it devs.

Notice the entitlement that karens and their fans bring. I streamed your game and got you players - now you OWE ME to always be loyal to me and just live with any BS I spew. Also notice how most defenders just attack the author of some supposed article, but never the content, which Kirsche has only herself to blame for it
https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/1kblbdw/a_serious_discussion_about_kirsche_verstahl_and/

Most of it is borderline acceptable, but for me, trying to defend someone who shot two people because they stood up to a greedy company ILLEGALLY destroying their enviroment and poisoning it just because he got stuck in traffic is a good sign that she is either an idiot, morally bankrupt or just likes to stir ♥♥♥♥ up, but then she can't have a meltdown like this when it gets thrown back.

You can't just keep yapping and talk ♥♥♥♥ and then get shocked when people don't like you for it, to me Kirsche is just acting like a spoiled karen influencer who is so stuck up that she can't even fathom people not kissing her ass. And every fan of her here has just strenghtened that image by denying, entitlement, projecting and more

Kirsche herself said that they said the decision was "unanimous". She had over a year of communications with the devs and the publisher, played with them on a number of occasions, and had future unofficial plans involving the game.
The slander against her was shallow and doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny, even to the ignorant.
Despite that the devs decided to listen to anonymous nobodies on the internet who have no relevance to their game, it's more in their interest to listen to the random nobodies who do actually have an interest in their game.

Also evidently many people are unaware of the opinions of many other people (particularly celebrities) who are featured in the game.

"Zero evidence" You know, aside from the timing being 2 days after the vice article hit. Probably unrelated, clearly.

Has it ever occurred to you that it's possible the vtuber was lying?

[Dr. Ocsid]

Yes, Kirsche is a known complete moron and terrible person to anyone other than her weirdo fanbase. You don't get to both choose to be an "edgy and controversial" internet personality and not reap what that brings. No ♥♥♥♥ a company wouldn't want to deal with this kind of person. Then of course she tries really, really, really hard (and fails) to pretend that the review bombing is definitely very different and not at all her own fans engaging in "cancel culture" as well.

Anyone characterizing the """""slander""""" against her as shallow is really telling on themselves.

bro you got no argument sit your ass down.

[Doomerang]

Honestly? If you are okay with obvious hit pieces and lies and then have the gall to turn around and think that the person defending themselves is evidence then I’m not going to waste my time with you, blocked and get lost

Reaping means getting to the top charts of twitch donations, trending on twitter and having tens of thousands of people agree with her across the chats of like 8 different streamers.
If the devs don't like cancel culture they should not have engaged with it, turnabout is fair play.

no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the burden of proof is on you for making the claim that "they didn't pick a side." i've shown mutliple pieces of evidence stating otherwise but you're not very intelligent kid.
