^They've given the artist a hard time in the past from what I've seen, mainly asking the artist to follow their unreasonable rules and so forth, but I think this is the first time they've really gone for a full on angry mob attack. Pride Month does make homophobes jumpy so that's probably part of it unfortunately.

@PineconeJuice I don't think this particular group has anything to do with Chinese players, the group bothering this artist are an English speaking Western group as far I've seen, and they pride themselves on being far right. Along with being as offensive as possible on all fronts, creepy sexual conduct, sexism, racism, and so on. From what I heard this part of the BA fandom already made a total mess of the Steam community for the game, spamming their weird and insane nonsense while taking pride in doing so, in part because they think they're "gate keeping" people that they don't want in their community...which I think just makes them look childish and embarrassing.
Aureole
Jun 7, 2025 9:31PM
^^ 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).

^I know, which is why I was saying "as far as I've seen", I was trying to say the ones I've seen look to be Western. Expanding on my political note, there's a particular group of trouble makers online that are apart of various fandoms including Blue Archive, and they're often unhinged about American politics as well. They make being proud of being apart of far right American politics their personality, and take it in every extreme direction they can. That's the part of the fandom I saw harassing this artist, and being weird about the Steam release.

^^Yeah, engagement bait and all of that, from what I've heard and seen negativity generates the most responses and engagement with algorithms. I've heard that being the case with Youtube as well. Old internet style communities such as this are also generally slower. So less no algorithm and more casual engagement make for a better overall experience in my opinion, and the older I get the more strongly I feel in that regard, especially when this website doesn't bloat it's self with the latest trends like useless ai garbage, nfts, crypto, all of that nonsense and so forth.

^^Yahtzee Croshaw was talking about in one of his videos, that his "worst of x year" videos (or part of videos) have much higher viewership that "best of x years". As someone explained: If you post "X game is good" it will mostly attract people who agree with it/like the game, not much of these who, aren't interested or don't like it. Meanwhile when you post ""x is shit/woke/etc" it will bring both people who hate it too and people who will defend it. Negativity gives you much, much more viewership than being positive. That why so many people becoming ragebaiters/grifters.
