Girls' Frontline 2 Insider Leaks Writing Team Drama: Devs Plan to Add Male Characters Arknights-Style, Community Managers Go on Deletion Spree

The Girls' Frontline 2 (少前2) drama farm just had another bumper crop! This time, a well-known insider (舅舅党, jiùjiu dǎng — literally 'uncle party,' slang for reliable leakers) spilled the tea on the current state of the writing team's internals. What makes this extra spicy: the info lines up perfectly with earlier leaks from September on Nanyou+ (南+), boosting credibility through the roof.

The original post was shared on the Girls' Frontline Tieba (百度贴吧), and NGA's gossip board (瓜版) picked it up simultaneously. But here's the kicker — as the post started spreading, threads on NGA's Hand综版 (手综, a general gaming discussion section) with even more explosive content were mass-locked and deleted by community managers in a full scorched-earth sweep.

【Male Characters Lurking Beneath the Surface — Long-Planned by the Dev Team】

According to the leaks and supplementary info from commenters, the GF2 project team has always had a dedicated staff member working on male character models. Dataminers had already dug up male character art and 3D models in the game files long ago. Players pointed out that Yuzhong (翀儿/羽中, the series producer) had always secretly wanted to add male characters but was forced to back down after veteran players revolted. Now this move is being read as 'copying Arknights (粥, zhōu — the nickname for Arknights/明日方舟) by sneaking male characters into the gacha pool mid-service.'

One commenter nailed it: 'This isn't really insider info — anyone who knows what Yuzhong is actually like could have predicted all of this. And now he wants to copy Arknights? How embarrassing — copying his own former subordinates.' The 'former subordinates' refer to the devs who left Sunborn (散爆) to found Hypergryph (鹰角) and create Arknights in the first place.

【Writing Direction Under Fire: Female-Oriented Narrative in a Waifu Game?】

What really set players off was the alleged writing direction. One commenter asked: 'What exactly is their psychology when they think this will make players happy? Do their user profiles seriously show that most players want to self-insert as the female protagonist "Commander 82"?' Another fired back immediately: 'The xxn (仙女, xiānnǚ — internet slang for 'feminist diva') writers are crafting female-oriented romance fiction (女频文本), so of course they're projecting onto the female lead.' This roasted the creative team's entire approach — writing 言情-style narratives in a military anthropomorphism gacha game primarily marketed to male players is essentially speedrunning your core audience into uninstalling.

One player mapped GF2's problems onto miHoYo's post-3.2 playbook and found that 'everything clicks into place' — story controversies, character design flips, audience misalignment — it's all the same pattern repeating itself.

【Community Managers Go Nuclear — And It Backfires Spectacularly】

The funniest part of this whole mess isn't even the leaks themselves — it's the community moderation crackdown. NGA threads on the Hand综 board were getting locked one after another. Players were dying laughing: 'How are they locking every single post that pops up? I can't.' Another said: 'All the Hand综 threads are gone, I'm gonna be sick.' And one more: 'This is one of the few games I have zero intention of playing but will happily eat popcorn over.'

But the more they deleted, the more suspicious it looked — classic 'nothing to see here' energy. As one player put it: 'Every Hand综 thread got nuked — that's exactly why I believe the leaks.' After all, if the leaks were fake, why bother deleting everything?

【Not Firing the Writer Is the Biggest Joke】

And the cherry on top: one commenter absolutely lost it over the fact that the problematic writers haven't been fired. In the current job market, 'for 15K RMB a month I could recruit an entire train car full of qualified writers and still take a cut.' But nope — the project team would rather keep the status quo. GF2 hasn't even officially launched yet and it's already become the gaming community's biggest popcorn-worthy dumpster fire. Truly 'thriving' (蒸蒸日上) in the most ironic sense.
