This is some of the funniest shit I saw.

no racism but quite ironic being dark skinned nazi (maybe just alluding of arabic looking french nazi)

Apparently he's partially Italian, so more like Mediterranean. The Romeo and Juliet movie nicely shows that Italians can be white-skinned and dark-skinned, and still be Italians.

    True romance had funny scene about sicilians. Applies to a lot of mediterraen people, although scene uses racist language the point is not really false and most of southern italians don't want to acknowledge that part of history.

    A bit underrated movie, many of my favorite actors in it.

    Someone remind me, is Makoto being notably busty compared to the other Sailor Senshi in the manga, or is it something the 90s anime came up with? Because it's jarring to see her with a bust size that's this modest.

    Neither - it's fanon. She makes a comment in Sailor Moon R that she has the largest bustline, but a B in a group of As is still the largest.

    She seemed to be significantly bigger than a mere B - or even a C - in that anime, though. Not, say, Getsuyoubi no Tawawa-level, but still surprisingly big for a Japanese young woman in high school.

    The other side doubles down on the meme claiming it as a way to gatekeep the game from tourists, be it BA players and non-players alike.

    I understand the logic behind gatekeeping, but I don't understand why people are so vehement to gatekeep Blue Archive.

    Despite being rated 17+ on the App Store, BA is lighter on the fanservice than most gacha. Yeah, it has a lot of lolis in it, but there are lolis in a lot of pieces of media made in the Far East, and Blue Archive just happens to have more than most. And even then, I'd say only about 1/3~1/2 of the cast are lolis.

    Despite being rated 17+ on the App Store, BA is lighter on the fanservice than most gacha. Yeah, it has a lot of lolis in it, some being more scantily clad than others, but there are lewdable lolis in a lot of pieces of media made in the Far East, including some made by Nintendo, and Blue Archive just happens to have more than most. And even then, I'd say only about 1/3 of the cast are lolis.

    The same reason you would want to gatekeep anything. Just look at what's been happening to things like 40k and DnD. It's not specifically about the lolis, either. BA has a lot of teacher/student relation undertones (and overtones), characters like Hanako, and other fanservicey elements. BA fans don't want that stuff to be messed with, and if you don't gatekeep at least a little you risk the voices that complain about that stuff getting loud enough to have an effect on the game. You can't argue that wouldn't happen, either, considering that loud complaining resulted in the devs releasing a separate 17+ version of the app to address issues of censorship. The devs listen to the players, and the players don't want them listening to "players" that would just try to change the game.

    There's already been multiple instances of community staff and even translators trying to scrub some of the lewd stuff in an attempt to pretend either that stuff isn't there or that the writing has become less "problematic" than it was initially, neither of which are true. So, the playerbase has gotten a bit... protective.

    I also want to clarify this, before a gatekeeping argument starts, gatekeeping does not mean "Stopping anyone from joining the community" it means "keeping or driving out people that are just there to try to cause strife." It's not any different from Danbooru users downvoting people that comment just to tell everyone how much they don't like rape art instead of just blacklisting it.

    There's a version of the game that's not 17+? That's news to me. Even then, there are complaints of censorship in the 17+ version, to the point where it's been bombarded with 1-star reviews on Google Play and is currently sitting at a 3.6 rating. I don't see a bunch of puritans causing changes to a frickin' 17+ game.

    This incident has done more to harm Blue Archive's reputation than any amount of infiltration ever could. A lot of tourists commented on this incident, thinking it was business as usual for the BA fandom, even tourists who play lewder gacha like Azur Lane and NIKKE. Forget censored; I'm genuinely worried this will encourage people to get this game banned.
