Girls' Frontline 2 Insider Claims Sunborn's User Research Was Rigged — Players Suspect Classic 'Drawing the Target After Shooting the Arrow'

The GFL2 (Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium) drama mines have struck again. An anonymous insider — known as a 'jiujiu' (舅舅, literally 'uncle', Chinese gaming slang for leaker or insider source) — claims that Sunborn CEO 羽中 received user research data showing players actually preferred mixed CP/yuri content. The community, however, isn't buying it one bit.

According to the original poster, this info circulated about two months ago. An anonymous insider supposedly revealed that the user research data submitted to 羽中 concluded players favored a mix of romantic pairing (CP) and yuri content. The OP admits they can't find the original screenshots after so long but attached a related image as supporting evidence.

The comment section reaction was overwhelmingly skeptical. A top-voted reply cut straight to the point: 'This guy claims ten thousand things — mix some real ones in with the fake, and can you even tell which is which anymore?' The logic here is that when an insider floods you with info, getting one thing right after the fact doesn't validate the whole package. Another player added: 'Mixing truth with lies is the oldest trick — they use one real claim to get you to swallow ten fake ones.'

Some commenters went even further, suggesting the 'leak' was stitched together from existing forum discussions rather than actual insider knowledge. One noted that a recruiter source on the Girls' Frontline R (少前R) Tieba had previously joked that the female employee in charge of data analytics and user profiling at Sunborn was an unqualified hire — a 'guanxi hire' (关系户) who didn't actually understand the business. If the research data itself came from someone incompetent, the conclusion that 'players want CP/yuri content' becomes even more suspect.

The discussion quickly spiraled into Sunborn's internal management problems. Players referenced the infamous '牢骑语录' (Lao Qi's quotes — a legendary record of internal chaos at Sunborn) and argued that after multiple rounds of internal power struggles, Sunborn had become 羽中's personal fiefdom. Others pushed back against the tendency to blame everything on specific female staff members: 'Do people really believe all the evil comes from those women? As the company's leader, if 羽中 can't even manage this stuff, they deserve to fail.'

One intriguing detail emerged: someone pointed out that 羽中 appeared on an STN (a popular Chinese gaming commentary show) episode, which suggests he was already aware that forcing a romantic pairing onto the beloved character Type 95 was a landmine. The implication is that if he truly couldn't control certain staff members, he would have deflected blame during that interview instead of taking it. Another player found that STN video 'suspicious' but didn't elaborate — leaving the community to speculate.

Overall, the community consensus on this leak's credibility is: very low. The most reasoned take pointed out the timeline problem — 'the research data rumor came first, and this new claim could easily be retrofitted to match what we already know. That's not independent corroboration.' In other words, classic case of 'drawing the target after the arrow lands' (射箭画靶). As one veteran internet surfer summarized: 'If someone claiming to be an insider tells you exactly what you want to hear with zero extra details, that's the biggest red flag.' The GFL2 gossip garden never runs out of new crops, but sorting fact from fiction is on you.
