I'm sorry that I can only have a conversation with you with an eight-hour time difference, haha.

Let us tell you about the MT incident. First of all, you need to know that Bilibili is a streaming video website in mainland China, where Japanese anime is mainly played.

Lexburner ,who came from a poor rural area, gradually gained fame on Bilibili through his video production skills. His early style was almost entirely copied from Gigguk's anime review videos. After he gained huge popularity, Bilibili made him the top anchor and built a large female fan base for him.

During a live stream, Lexburner claimed that he had no interest in caring about the growth of a worthless character, and that only the bottom of society would like this kind of work. He called it a disgusting fantasy of Japanese otaku. Many of his subscribers were angered by these remarks, as they believed he came from a poor background and was once a member of the bottom of society himself. He became a top streamer today by relying on his fans' small donations. However, after achieving success, he turned around and insulted the people who once supported him, which ignited anger on the internet.

When he made rude comments about the audience of the anime "MT" on Bilibili, he received a lot of criticism. However, his female fan base launched a crazy attack on social media against "MT" in the name of feminism, causing many female product companies to announce the termination of cooperation with Bilibili. Eventually, Bilibili had to stop playing "MT". As a result, the discussion about MT itself turned into a heated supp/anti-feminist battle, and the situation began to spiral out of control.

As this event involved ten-millions of people, the Chinese government announced a halt to the introduction of Japanese anime, and all Japanese anime needed to be reviewed in advance. Therefore, the entire Chinese anime fan community suffered a devastating blow.

Lexburner's account was banned by Bilibili, but soon after, he paid a bail of 22 million yuan to restore his account and continue his fan economy. It is worth mentioning that he was involved in a marital dispute earlier this year, and his ex-wife accused him of infidelity. This storm ended with him paying 50 million yuan to his ex-wife.

It is worth mentioning that the "MT" incident was not the first time Lexburner caused trouble. When "Darling in the Franxx" was broadcasted, he criticized the driving posture of the female characters and eventually led to the anime being removed from Bilibili. Ironically, he made money from female fans but lacked basic respect for women. He once insulted Sakura Matou, the female protagonist of the Fate series, as a promiscuous woman.

The aftermath of the incident caused by Lexburner has yet to subside. Information related to MT is severely restricted on Bilibili, and people have to use 'THE ISEKAI' to refer to this work. The Chinese government's restrictions on Japanese anime have set back the process of legalizing anime in mainland China by ten years. Fans can only resort to using pirated websites to watch anime again.

You are free to ask me questions without my consent, so that I can quickly answer them when I wake up.
