Gossip: 'Girls' Frontline' Appears in Yangtze Evening Post, Mother's Hardcore 'Proxy Playing' Story Sparks Debate

Recently, an article titled 'Decoding Adolescence | Role Experience: Growing Together, Mother and Son' appeared in the Yangtze Evening Post, causing a stir within the ACG gaming community. The story features a mother documenting her unexpected transformation: after her son shifted his focus to high school entrance exams, she was tasked with managing his 'Girls' Frontline' account, evolving from a total novice to a 'hardcore proxy player.'

In the piece, the mother initially views gaming as a disaster but is soon 'pushed' by her son to research guides, watch Bilibili tutorials, and grind late-night missions. She even gets scolded by her son, who tells her, 'Homework is endless, new tasks are always waiting for you!' This 'proxy-playing' dynamic has left many gamers stunned by the absurdity of the situation.

Netizens on the NGA community forum have been debating the content. While some find this 'hardcore maternal love' enviable, others complain that the writing is overly stiff and cringe-worthy. Veteran players also joked that it’s fortunate the game no longer features 'damaged CGs' (a classic slang term for unit injury portraits), otherwise, the mother might have experienced quite a shock.

As veteran gossips, netizens were surprised to see a game from 'Sunborn' (the developer) featured in a mainstream newspaper, jokingly labeling it an 'official piece of drama' from the devs. While the article touches on themes of parental philosophy and human laziness, the surreal scenario of 'Mom playing my game for me' continues to fuel discussions, skepticism, and envy in the comments section.
