Don't really agree with the bullying but at the same time some memes just don't land well with in certain circumstances. The Mika ones are funny since it's a bit true to her character of being a racist idiot who acts on her impulses, Nimi doesn't work as well since in her PL she legit had a bit of a panic attack and edited out an entire VOD because she spelled out a series of letters that could've been misconstrued as a slur for gay people unintentionally. I doubt the artist was wanting her to look like a racist idiot, but more something like a brat wanting her veggie tendies or something (which is a bit in character for her) but that only works when you don't know the context of the meme, yet the punchline of the meme only really works if you do know the context of it which is essentially an idiot is acting out on an airplane and calls someone a slur while looking ridiculous wearing a burger king crown and being a huge bother to people.
Mind you this doesn't excuse anybody harassing an artist for what is essentially making an unfunny meme with unfortunate implications though. They did had the courtesy of not putting it in the main art tag that could've caused a bit of a stir if Nimi retweeted what seemed to be a silly art with no other implications.

Really weird that you can mock politicians, but the nanosecond you mock a Vtuber, you got an army of simps kicking your door down.
She wasn't being mocked, is the problem. She was being used to make a completely out of pocket reference to something that happened four years ago that had nothing to do with her. Artist only drew it because people asked him to, and Nimi hadn't done or said anything that really warranted the association.
When you use someone in place of another like here, you're drawing a parallel between them, whether that's your intention or not. Why would you want to give people the impression that there's a parallel between someone like Nimi and some racist schizo?
This chain is odd cause it doesn't seem like the artist actually had any ill intentions. It seems like people are having a lot of opinions on them for something that was apparently the most requested thing he was given.
He could've easily just drawn the meme without knowing the full context. A lot of memes nowadays people will use without having the knowledge.
Now is it great he took it down once pointed out what the context was? Sounds good on him. But it doesn't sound good if people took it as him trying to smear the vtuber when he was doing something requested by someone else....
His post history makes it pretty clear he's a fan of hers so I doubt he had ill intention is all....

Sadly, feelings don't care for facts, and the artist angered a lot of people whose feelings weight more than common sense.

He knew what the context was, his replies make that very apparent. He didn't take it down because he learned what the context was, he did it because people were mad he depicted Nimi as a racist. It being a request doesn't absolve anything, either. It was literally, "Now draw her on a plane. "Sure." and then he specifically referenced this meme. He knew exactly what they were referencing.
I find it very telling certain people here are more interested in criticizing Vtuber fans than admitting that maybe it's fair that fans don't like it when their perfectly innocent cinnamon roll of an oshi gets associated with a bad person for no reason. So easy to act like it's not a big deal when it's not someone you care about, right?

Because they're in the wrong here? Even if you don't know how the meme is used anyone with skin thicker than a condom would just need a few seconds of context-searching to realize that this is an off-color joke at worst, nothing malicious and certainly nothing worth bullying over.
I've seen drawings of vtubers kicking IRS staff, doing worse things with knives and guns, mutilate body parts, repeat in game quotes with mild language, doing porn, acting completely out of character and a large etcetera. But god forbid depicting them humoristically and cutely throwing a tantrum on a plane because simping hell breaks loose.
Another proof people are in the wrong here and they need to touch some grass. Learn to differ between an avatar act and a person too.

Sadly, these TOPs have a severe case of agoraphobia
