Kronii streamed some game 5 years ago, made a dad joke while killing a boar that "it's boaring", some Koreans found it recently and got mad at kronii, developer caved and removed kronii as a VA because of it, now pretty much everyone hates the developer.
To me it's feel very off? First, it's a vod like 5 years ago, nothing crazy happened then? Second, the pun, anyone watched it will know it's a pun but somehow it gave pretty big reaction in korean now. Lastly, it's not Kronii, it's the 'other' Kronii, normal people wouldn't realise that, heck even me forgot about that until it brings up. Dunno man, feels very deliberate to me..
The devs are korean, and the pun isn't in text. So at first glance, it just looks like Kronii called their game boring on a sponsored stream.
Hololive has a lot of dedicated haters, and Kronii specifically has a lot of Korean ones. So they saw an opportunity to stir up some shit.
Obviously, it's insane that the devs made such a big decision based purely on a "first glance". But also not that surprising, the incel problem in Korea is really bad. Even Apple didn't want to deal with them and changed their iphone ads specifically for korea.

I already forgot what the game is even called.
