I know people have now criticized Nano and pointed out how she probably wasn't really that manipulated, she is not a baby, she acted on her own and followed Sinder orders and was fine to having an exclusivity deal with her. In that regard, she no getting any form of backlash fells a little unfair.
BUT is also the truth that without Nano chat logs this whole case against Sinder would have never worked, it was her chat logs where the most damning evidence was. We should see this more like some Cartel sicario that was just "Following orders" providing information about the bosses to the police in exchange for protection and soft punishments. Under that angle is makes more sense.
Yes, the cartel sicario did bad shit and “following orders” is not a moral excuse. But is always better to go after the masterminds, even if that would mean giving the sicario and others that “followed orders” protection, and even letting them get away with it. Probably that is why Silver and Bao make clear that they forgive Nano, after all, she was a key piece in all of this operation.
But who knows?? If in the future Silver changes artists and stops commissioning Nano, then we will know that forgiving Nano was really a strategic maneuver than a real sentiment. Let's see if other vtubers still stick with her after this.
