Girls' Frontline 2 Writer Allegedly Caught by NGA Users Over Punctuation Habit — English Dots Used Instead of Chinese Ellipsis Expose Anti-China Staffer

A seemingly insignificant punctuation habit turned out to be the key clue that helped NGA forum users crack the identity of a suspected anti-China writer on the Girls' Frontline 2 (GFL2: Exilium) team — she used six English interpuncts (······) instead of standard Chinese ellipses (……), essentially outing herself.

The whole saga started when NGA users noticed that a suspected GFL2 content writer going by the codename 'STAR' had an extremely distinctive typing style while arguing with players online. The original poster pointed out that she consistently replaced the standard Chinese ellipsis '……' with six consecutive English interpuncts '······' — a practice virtually unheard of in normal Chinese typing, yet it matched the writing pattern of a known Sunborn employee to a T.

Helpful commenters explained: 'She doesn't use Chinese ellipses — she uses the English interpunct, the same dot you see in names like Agatha · Christie, typed out six times to substitute for an ellipsis. That's a highly personal habit.' Another user added that Japanese keyboards lack Chinese ellipses and only have half-width interpuncts — and 'STAR' happens to be a Japanese language major, which only strengthened the case.

The post also linked to a related thread (tid=38977863), reportedly containing additional evidence in its 14th and 42nd floor replies. However, the original poster was careful to note: 'This is not hard evidence — let's stay rational,' adding a dog emoji for good measure.

The comment section erupted with memes and hot takes. One user joked, 'Best couple of the year: Menggan and Dian-jie — I'm voting for them,' comparing this incident to the infamous 'Menggan' scandal at miHoYo, where a writer was exposed for making inappropriate online remarks. Another quipped: 'The more you read Menggan's quotes, the sharper they sound. This Dian-jie still needs way more practice,' suggesting STAR was no match for her infamous predecessor.

One particularly savage commenter remarked: 'This is exactly why one got hired at miHoYo and the other ended up at Sunborn,' drawing a pointed career comparison between the two controversial writers. Others were more concerned about player experience: 'Lucky you if you're still playing — the rage she builds up from fighting forum users is going to be vented on the players.'

Regarding STAR's actual identity, multiple conflicting versions circulated. One claim says she graduated from Sichuan University's Japanese department; another suggests she has a 'watered-down master's' from the university's Asian-African studies school — all labeled as 'unverified.' Reportedly, after being exposed, STAR allegedly deleted her account and disappeared, which ironically only amplified the post's visibility and drew more attention.

The original poster signed off with a drippingly sarcastic 'Must have been tough back then…' — mimicking STAR's signature 'six-dots' style while mocking her reported late-night overtime to rewrite game scripts. The comments delivered gems like 'Menggan × STAR forever' and 'Ship her off to Gaza to dance on TikTok,' and the whole saga quickly went viral in NGA's gacha gaming gossip circles.

It's worth noting that some voices of reason suggested this may not be about one specific 'anti-China' individual but rather 'the shameless attitude of the entire writing team that both despises and depends on the Chinese market.' As of now, Sunborn has not issued any official response, and all allegations remain at the level of user speculation and community leaks.
