Blue Star Origins Isn't Even Out Yet and Already Getting Raided — Leak Claims Male Playable Characters, 'No Males Allowed' Crowd Floods Bilibili With 40K Comments

A game hasn't even launched yet and it's already getting bombed with 40K comments on its Bilibili PV — all because of one male NPC and some unverified insider leaks. Welcome to the absurd reality of Blue Star Origins (蓝色星原), Manjuu's upcoming title, where the 'No Males Allowed' (有男不玩) crowd has declared war before the first banner even drops.

The spark that lit this fire was a rumor circulating on NGA's mobile game forum (手综区) claiming Blue Star Origins would feature male playable characters (男自机). But as players in the thread dug into the source, they found it came from so-called 'uncle insiders' (舅舅党) — anonymous leakers claiming inside connections, with zero credibility to back it up. The confirmed info so far? No male playable characters at all. Only the protagonist can be chosen as male. Yet this unverified rumor alone was enough to trigger a full-scale community meltdown.

One player noted the outrage had already spiraled beyond the initial complaint: 'I checked the comments — plenty of people are also angry that there's a female MC option, calling it yuri bait and demanding a male-only protagonist.' The controversy has expanded from 'no male characters' to attacking every aspect of gender selection in the game.

Even more wild: a female player (referred to derogatorily as '集美' in NGA slang) apparently made an overnight fan video to stir the pot further. The video was quickly self-deleted, but the damage was done. As one commenter put it: 'The male playable character rumor comes from uncle insiders — this is literally borrowing trouble to eat shit (贷款吃屎, a Chinese internet slang meaning getting mad about something that hasn't happened). But beating up on the devs must never stop.'

The community split into two clear camps. The 'raid now' faction believed preemptive pressure was essential. One of the most upvoted arguments went: 'When that male NPC starts shipping with your gacha waifu, don't come crying to us on the forums. Use your brain — think about who that male NPC's design is meant to attract and what audience it pulls in. If you wait until female players drawn by the game start reporting your waifu's outfit as too revealing, it'll be too late. This is the tragedy of otaku who always react too late.' Another player added: 'There are signs they're planning mixed-gender banners. Once the game launches and turns into cleavage windows and femboy territory, it's over. We need to crush this while it's still in the cradle.'

The counter-faction fired back hard, calling this textbook 'borrowing trouble to eat shit' (贷款吃屎) — raging over a hypothetical. 'This is peak eating shit on credit,' one commenter scoffed. 'Getting this worked up over one male NPC is insane.' Another pushed back on the shipping doom-posting: 'Isn't this literally getting mad about things that haven't happened? Why fantasize about worst-case scenarios?'

One particularly sharp comment exposed the absurdity of the movement's escalation: 'Has this actually protected anything? People have already fast-forwarded to claiming Manjuu has always been a yuri game company. I genuinely can't understand what these people are even demanding anymore.' In other words, the 'raid' has spiraled so far that people are now rewriting the developer's entire history to justify their outrage.

The anti-raid faction landed perhaps the most devastating counter-argument: 'At this rate of borrowing trouble, name me ONE mobile game you can actually play.' The implication is clear — if even a single male NPC is unacceptable, then virtually no game passes the purity test. The raid faction, however, refused to back down, pointing to Bilibili: 'Go check how many radical female fans (xxn, a derogatory term for extreme female gamers) are already staking territory and calling Blue Star Origins a mixed-audience game (一般向). Things are already happening — are you going to bury your head in the sand and pretend you can't see it?' In the 'No Males' camp, labeling a game as 'mixed-audience' rather than 'for the male gaze' is itself seen as a betrayal.

The big picture is almost comically ironic: Blue Star Origins currently has an all-female cast (aside from the protagonist), yet it's become one of the most aggressively raided games by the 'No Males Allowed' movement. As one bewildered player observed: 'So a game that's currently all-female is getting hit hardest by the no-males crowd? That's pretty funny.' Another commenter used a meme image to sum up the state of the mobile gaming community — a picture that speaks volumes about the current state of affairs.

This gender crusade over an unreleased game is ultimately a symptom of the deep rift in the current gacha gaming community. The 'No Males Allowed' movement has evolved from a reasonable consumer stance into something bordering on paranoid delusion — male NPCs are threats, female MC options are yuri conspiracies, and devs are guilty until proven innocent. Meanwhile, anyone who questions the escalation gets labeled as 'not protecting the community.' Manjuu hasn't even opened the servers, and the civil war has already begun. Just another day in 2024's gacha gaming discourse.
