The community suspects the writers deliberately smuggled feminist messaging into the game's dialogue.
A C108 Comic Market circle count chart shows Blue Archive dominating with a massive lead, igniting widespread community discussion. Genshin Impact's shrinking presence prompted 'it's fallen off' takes, though some note Comic Market skews male-oriented and Genshin does better at female-oriented events.

An official Endfield comic depicts the player's self-insert character smiling and walking away to leave two female characters alone together, sparking outrage among Master Love (ML) enthusiasts.
