Twitter messed up the names again, now it ended up looking like the Japanese are thanking Russia for the attack. The reason behind this is #ThankYouRussia and #WeLoveRussia Hashtags trending in Japan but that’s not what they really mean.
Japanese people are spamming #WeLoveRushia & #ThankYouRushia but some of them got it autocorrected in Twitter, and becomes of that #WeLoveRussia & #ThankYouRussia is trending in Japan. The timing here is just more than a regular coincidence, it’s just can’t be any worse.
It’s all happening because of the contract cancellation of the Japanese Vtuber, Uruha Rushia. It was announced that Vtuber Rushia’s contract with the parent company, Hololive, will be terminated due to her leaking sensitive information.
Her fans are showing support by using the hashtag “#ありがとうるしあ ” on Twitter, which translates to “WeLoveRushia”. But seems like the autocorrect is happening at the very wrong time and converting the tag to “WeLoveRussia”. Which has nothing to do with the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The fact that Russia attack in Ukraine and contract cancellation of Uruha Rushia happened on the same day. More and more people started tweeting using “WeLoveRussia” and due to this, Twitter started showing it in the trending tab.
