>>101333486I think as far as global is concerned, there were only really 3 big, earth-shaking vtubing events
1. Hololive vs China, graduation of Coco, broke JP containment from how insane it was + only english-catering holo at the time
2. HoloEN debut
3. Termination of Selen Tatsuki + Black stream
I don't think anything but those 3 has shaken the western vtubing scene like this to such a massive degree.
MAYBE the holocaust when most of JP's vods got taken down and perms became a thing, but by then the west wasn't really focused on holo yet so many new fans don't even know about it.
