Gossip: Otome Game Scandal - Marketing Bots Caught Using BL-Style Copy

Recently, players discovered that the otome game 'For All Time' has been flooding its social media hashtag with low-quality marketing bots to promote its upcoming event. Most absurdly, some of the promotional text featured 'BL' (Boys' Love) themes—implying romantic relationships between the male love interests. In the world of otome games, the core appeal is the player's personal romantic connection with the characters, so forcing a same-sex pairing narrative for marketing has left fans baffled.

Beyond the questionable BL content, the 'conversations' manufactured by these bots are incredibly awkward and scripted, suggesting a desperate attempt by the developers to artificially boost social media engagement.

The community response has been harsh. Commenters noted that utilizing low-quality bot farms is a signature 'NetEase style' practice. Some even pointed out that these bots are so unprofessional they've accidentally promoted competing games or used assets stolen from other titles. Players are questioning if the game is struggling so much that it's now targeting BL fans to salvage its revenue. Cynical observers concluded: this is just another 'feature' of NetEase's questionable marketing legacy.
