As a participant of r/place 2023 I'm slipping in the note that the expansion of the Canada flag that first erased Reimu has been conclusively proven (both by looking at the text that was written beneath, the timing of the botting, and finally actually looking at the raw data that Reddit released) to be caused by the Moroccan Building bot army (which was also responsible for printing anti-queer message on top of the pride flag and griefing Turkish flag). The Building continued to bot the area several times and only stopped by the end of the Bad Apple animation. When r/placecanada, which had moved elsewhere before the botting, returned to their original spot, their group was split between people who want to make peace with us Touhou Hijackers and those who want to remove Reimu in order to put more of their national art in. Their admins allied with us, and the second group became known as 'rogues' - a group of apparently a few people who quickly turned into the butt of jokes in our community shortly after the event for their funny malding copypasta. It takes another day for the fact that Canada is now our ally to spread around and for Touhou r/place group's hatred for Canada to alleviate. EDIT 1: the double flag in the newly expanded canvas is also Moroccan Building's work.
