Did Coco even make a political statement.She just read some statistics.
It was turned into a political statement when Cover agreed that it was a problem and suspended her.
That to me, was the real issue.
This has less to do with fan being zealots towards and idol, and more about some people being zealots towards a doctrine .
You are right that AquaÂ’s interactions from now on will be hyper analyzed by both sides, though. But that isnÂ’t a toxic idol thing, i think. It’s ’s a toxic culture wars thing

There is a big difference between "Aqua is a chicomm! What a two-face!" and "Aqua is a chicomm! I'M HURT! I'M BETRAYED! This is PERSONAL!" both are bile but one is actually physically dangerous to the VTuber. It's the kind that gives birth to stalkers and people intent on driving their targets to suicide. Doctrinal zealotry is bad enough but combined with man-child otaku thinking it become outright bad. You can't do anything about the former but you can at least not appeal to the latter in building your customer base
Without the physical danger it's all just noise and corporate fallout TBH
