^^ This phenomenon exists in many parts of the world (at least also in Japan and Korea too as I know it, and now we also know western gamers likely do this, too), not just China. It seems to be called ML (Master Love) faction (Master is how Fate/Grand Order characters refer to the player-controlled character), describing that all characters have romantic feelings towards player. This seems pretty common among most gacha games (to some extents even SIFAS can be counted as one, that Anata-chan), but Blue Archive takes it to another level, and many artists got repeatedly bullied online just because they draw yuri art of Blue Archive (like Shiratama Mochi being sent dead animal pics in Twitter DM because they draws Hifumi x Azusa).
