Beast Ear Tech Posts Official Statement on Bilibili Claiming Rumors Debunked — Community Rips It Apart: 'Not a Single Word of Apology, Admitted the Leaks but Called It Debunking'

Beast Ear Tech's latest move might just be the most absurd 'debunking' spectacle in the gacha community at the tail end of 2023.

The drama started when the Beast Ear Assistant producer made a series of explosive statements during community interactions. The key quote that set everything on fire: the game's characters may call you 'laopo' (老婆, waifu), but they're not ML (Master Love, meaning they don't actually have romantic feelings for the player). In simple terms — we market them as your waifus, but they're not in love with you. Predictably, the playerbase went nuclear, and leaked chat logs spread across NGA and other forums like wildfire.

Facing overwhelming backlash, Beast Ear Tech dropped an official Bilibili statement titled 'Regarding Recent Copywriting Controversy and Producer's Dynamic Replies.' The company claimed the online leaks amounted to rumor-mongering and had been officially 'debunked.'

NGA users immediately started dissecting every line of the statement. The original poster shared screenshots and couldn't help but ask: 'Brothers, should I delete the post and run? They say they're going the legal route' — implying the statement contained veiled legal threats against forum users.

The comment section erupted. The top-voted reply was brutally honest: 'Someone tell me — if they actually go through with legal action, I'm the first to run.' Though the tone was clearly tongue-in-cheek. A calmer voice chimed in: 'Did you edit or splice those chat logs? If not, what are you worried about? If their original statements had been convincing in the first place, none of this would've happened. Just save your evidence and keep your hands clean.'

Bolder users went straight for the jugular: 'Total BS, let them try to sue.' Another cut right to the point: 'Suing you is useless — you're not the original source' — implying the leaks came from elsewhere, and the legal threats were just intimidation theater.

But the real comedy goldmine was the section about Girls' Frontline 2 (少前2). Screenshots showed the statement reading: 'We won't comment further, but we're not like them (implying GFL2 is a cuckolding game).' The community's instant reaction: 'Didn't you just literally comment on them though?' They said 'no comment' while simultaneously slamming GFL2 onto the 'cuckolding game' pillar. The absolute irony.

One user summed up the entire circus perfectly: 'I'm dying — read the whole thing and there's zero sincerity in any apology, not a single word admitting the ML connection, and they're hiding behind "users are free to see the assistant however they want" as a smokescreen. My verdict: just let it die already, don't ruin the mood heading into the new year.'

Others picked apart the very concept of their 'debunking': 'You didn't report the people spreading these "rumors" — so they're not really rumors, are they?' and 'Points 2 and 3 were literally user opinions — you can self-debunk opinions now?' The implication being: if this was truly defamation, go after the source. Dropping a statement with no follow-through isn't debunking, it's damage control.

A veteran player offered a more cultural critique: 'This producer is stuck in the past. The meaning of 'pandering to otaku fans' (媚宅) has evolved significantly over the past two or three years. You can't wield a sword from the previous dynasty to judge current-era pandering. Best advice: just stop talking.'

Someone claiming to be a former Beast Ear Tech employee also weighed in with a sarcastic jab: 'Let me fact-check this: Beast Ear Assistant didn't release any skins for two straight months in May and June this year. So claiming they release skins every month — that's the real rumor.' Using the company's own debunking logic against them in the most ironic way possible.

All in all, Beast Ear Tech's official statement didn't just fail to quell the controversy — it became fresh meme material for the community to roast. Admitting the leaked chats were real, then claiming they're rumors, then threatening legal action: that's a three-piece combo that only managed to tank player trust even further. As for the legal threats, one user with actual litigation experience put it best: 'It's almost certainly just a lawyer's letter meant to scare you off. File a jurisdiction objection or two and you can easily drag it out for years.'
