@TokiTokiRom Just as a heads-up, if you want to create a new character tag, you can add character: or char: to the beginning of it. The prefix will be automatically dropped, and the tag converted to a character tag (provided it has 50 or fewer posts, for a Member-level user). You can also make artist and copyright tags the same way, using artist:/art: or copyright:/copy:, both subject to the same limit.

    Thanks for the advice.I thought I had read the help when I joined and forgot the contents. My apologies.

    This is tagged convenient censoring. What exactly IS censored conveniently?

    The lower part of the eagle on Leyna Koch's helmet is scratched out, similar to Gisela Koch's helmet in post #7501342.

    However, you have made me anxious that I have tagged wrong anyway now since that tag's wiki only specifically refers to "sensitive anatomical features" and not symbols or icons.

    Erica seems not to be one to shy away from swasticas. NS-symbols are everywhere in their work. The symbols on the helmets were only stenciled on and scratched in use. I think it is realism and not censoring.

    That's a fair point and I would agree...

    However, in the context of the two posts:

    • post #7501342 is Gisela Koch's jump before any sort of combat/action. And with the rest of her uniform intact and her helmet still with its shine, it's pretty, well, convenient for the only scratch on said helmet to be on the symbol in question.
    • Although depicting the girls both after and in the midst of combat/action, this post also resembles the same "scratching" as post #7501342. The eagle still somewhat intact and the only major scratching on the symbol itself.

    But that's my takeaway and reasoning for using that tag. I am more than happy to accept that it's wrong and someone removes the tag. It should be simple since it's only on those two posts.

    You may be right on Erica's censoring. I found a picture ( post #4335485 ) in which both swastikas on her cap an her blouse were denazified by removing the center. Propably they edit nazi symbols fitting to the expected viewers.

    I'm probably thinking way too deeply about the "cute angels with guns" gacha but this post reminded me again about something I was thinking about while playing the game... Where exactly do the BA girls come from? I mean that in the birds and the bees way, they age like normal humans and we know they don't just spawn into existence since there's at least one line where an NPC mentions spending time with family plus the whole plot point about Atsuko's bloodline/lineage, but as far as we know, Sensei is the only normal human man in Kivotos and all the others are furries, robots, or otherwise unusual beings (Gematria).

    At the end of the day the game's only a few years in and a lot of things about the setting are intentionally left open to exploration, so who knows if that'll be fleshed out later on. I kinda doubt this will ever be explained since I can't see there being anything but massive backlash if they reveal that either the BAs reproduce through ips cells or whatever form of yuri mitosis, or if they reveal that there's an all-male Kivotos counterpart with halo boys somewhere in their world

    The short answer is that we don't know. I theorize they have always existed as many students represent gods or other divine beings. Others represent youkai, mythological beings or even natural laws and philosophical concepts. The idea of familial bloodlines may represent related deities, angels or something of the sort.

    Interesting, and a plausible theory, only issue is that it is kinda contradicted by the fact they have canon ages and birthdays. But like you said, we don't know and who knows if we ever will know - for now it's just a bit of fun to speculate
