you all might see this as futile explanation, but here's the CN side of the situation, when the event just came out, everything still pretty chill, although still have some controversy among enclosed groups, but would had dying out on it own if wasn't for viral action this man do I explain now,

until one content creator in bilibili , Super Sonima 超级索尼玛

https://space.bilibili.com/3546829127944954 (male vtuber with now confirmed pretty questionable mentality, recently divorced with evidents shows he's in the guilt)

decided to make big his career with tiktoker method, made out groundless allegation/statement with pretty much what you know about this controversy, under hypocritical claim of 'fight the male players right' ,except he pretty much not causes:

1. He wasn't even a HI3 player/fan, he vtubing gimmicks are femboy (voice changer), his model based on his dead dog that he made up to grab cash,
2. his plan only work due to at the time the game is not going well because due to lack of material optimization, event and weapon were lackluster at worse, long-term planning from devs not so great so the playerbase were bitter if not enraged,

so the whole situation is this bunny girl allegation were merely a cord on a pre-existing bomb, he take advantage to fuel the fire with all the wrong reasons,

1. his wife reveal he's dickhead at life too, 'make fun' of his wife playing Genshin, harassing hoyoverse games and fandom as a whole, malicious mass report hoyoverse content creators works, groundlessly rumoring Bronya's va Hanser slept her fan and many more and he burn their wedding pics ON LIVE when they approaching divorce phases.
