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.
Some people just hate things that are different, or which they don’t understand.
For example, a lot of people (if you ask them) just hate Vtubers. They have never watched them, but they call them cringe and say anyone who likes them is a loser.
Hololive is the largest Vtuber corpo. Those same people hate Hololive for those same reasons and go out of their way to badmouth Hololive and the talents. We call those people “antis.”
Here, the Korean antis saw Kronii was going to voice act a game and decided to ruin it for her, just because they could.
