a vtuber named pippa pipkin also under phase is popular with some /vpol/ types here for being a "BASED" vtuber for dogwhistling /pol/. the type of people who shit up every board. phase's vtubers generally have that air of unfiltered, liable to say less-than-PC things. you can put two and two together.
despite their fans' screeching, phase is a teeny tiny fraction of the vtuber market, like 1%.
before the hack, /vt/ was dominated by hololive, whose thread, vtubers and fans have a culture of being extremely positive and supporting, wanting to have a good time and keeping away idpol stuff from the focus of discussion. the board also de-facto banned frogs and wojaks early on
60-80% of the boards activity at any given time was just hololive and during events, they would shoot the board to being top 3 and the dedicated "general" for hololive was the objectively fastest thread on the website.
over time, the moderation for hololive threads started getting worse. schizos would samefag endlessly, reports would get ignored, and then people straight up getting banned for reporting schizos. based on the bans, timing, and behavior of mods (forgetting to take off their mod tags when posting revealing samefagging), it became obvious that there was just an overt bias/resentment at them being the most popular or having to moderate them more than others due to their popularity.
when 4chan was hacked and /vt/ users were temporarily on 8ch, the ability to see that most of the threadshitting was from a tiny handful of schizos cemented the need to move, so the whole population (50% or more of the board) collectively got up and moved to a dedicated altchan, depleting the population of a popular board overnight, leaving only slow phase, indie vtuber, dramafag and numberfag (steam charts basically) threads
i you talk about it on /vt/ you're liable to get instantbanned.
