hey what's up guys R here so today we're going to be once again talking about blue archive we have another round of funny stories and drama coming from that franchise and its Community but before we get into that real quick a reminder that I'm pushing for partner plus level two on Twitch which requires 300 sub points for 3 months in a row these sub points coming from self-paid subs and right now we're working on June with a few days left to go and as you can see we successfully completed May and to bribe you guys into tier three subbing which is worth six points towards this goal I'm offering limited edition merch for each month you can see for the month of June we have these peer stickers here and there's still some limited slots left for the month of June if you want to claim these peer stickers or to help me out in this current campaign that I'm doing to achieve partner plus level two now back to the main story for today blue archive this is a franchise that crosses borders across the world okay so there are millions of people from many different backgrounds who look at this character they look at Sensei and they say that's literally me including some people like mint made I saw her tweet about blue archive only a couple of days ago and honestly a base department but a lot of people right now are talking about the anime which recently concluded this is something that was years in the making a lot of people really look forward to this but there's one episode in particular people were talking about a lot on social media and that was episode 11 now what happened that was so controversial and attention grabbing in episode 11 well it has to do with a 20 or 30 second sequence in the episode now I don't know what I'm more afraid of the copyright system or the community guidelin so instead of playing this clip you can find it on Twitter if you want I'm just going to describe briefly what happens here so Sensei needs a favor from one of his students named Yori and in response she smugly says I'll help you out if you get down on your knees and lick my feet and before she can even finish that sentence Sensei is already on his knees with her whole ass foot in his mouth okay he didn't waste a millisecond now this scene got a lot of attention on Twitter it had Twitter in a Chokehold okay a lot of people were sharing this scene there's multiple tweets with tens of thousands of likes sharing the scene some people of course uh were offended including some tourists who are claiming to be blue archive fans who are saying this goes too far which is absolutely outrageous if you know blue archive at all but a lot of people we also paying attention to this because of the fact it's fan service okay and it just goes to show you that this is a great way to gain attention for your series like you know what despite what a bunch of Zoomers will say fan service still works and draws a lot of attention in fact it worked out really well for blue archive because right now as it stands episode 11 that featured this scene is by far the highest rated blue archive episode of That season it just goes to show you how far A little bit of fan service can go for your franchise now this scene from the anime was not without controversy in a different way so this actually exposed a bad localization from the game so as pointed out in this tweet Scandal erupts as the new blue archive episode exposes yet another localization dumbing down that went mostly unnoticed for so long turning this section right here here literally if you get on your knees and licked my feet to kissed my shoe so if you see the side by-side comparison this is the original here and this is the localization saying I'll tell you what maybe you get on all fours and kiss my shoes which obviously as we know in the anime he does a lot more than that and once again with these sorts of things it seems like a small change but it's a big deal because they are butchering the localization like why are you censoring this in the first place and people always respond to stuff like this saying oh what's the big deal stop complaining well if it's not a big deal then why did they change it you know it's just ridiculous and I'm glad people have noticed this and ironically it is the anime that's exposing the censorship of the localization which is a really funny outcome in this situation however there was another situation involving this scene from episode 11 some people made this observation after a screenshot was leaked from the blue ray this was a leak apparently from someone on the translation team and as people observed this scene this shot right here in the Blu-ray does not exist in the western release of this episode you don't actually see the the whole action going on here so this leads to a couple of questions number one is this just like a gratuitous bonus for people buying the Blu-ray where they get this extra shot or was the Western release of episode 11 censored and honestly I'm probably going with the latter given the history of many Western uh broadcasts of anime where they censor things which is even more ridiculous in this particular situation because this scene we all know what this scene is doing like this is the whole point of the scene and yet you're going to censor this one shot that is the most clear shot of what's going on just seems kind of ridiculous but overall episode 11 and that scene in particular drove a lot of attention to Blue archive really for the better it gave that episode a big boost and really it generated a lot of funny memes and interactions but it also reminded people of one thing that is associated with the blue archive fan and that is their ability to out tourists so when it comes to Blue archive when people try to infiltrate their franchise and try to change things or mess with things the community is very very aggressive and honestly good for them okay like you should gatekeep your hobbies you shouldn't allow people to come in and virtue signal about your franchise and try to change it while claiming to be fans of it at the same time like you shouldn't be having that so here's another example of that resulting from this scene so you can see this user in the screenshot here they learned real quick what it's like to be a tourist trying to infiltrate the blue archive fan base so it begins with this a user sharing a meme calling the episode a 10 out of 10 where this user would quote them saying can we please turn all these girls into lesbians so the weirdos can leave them alone now I can only take so much brain rot but I've briefly seen some of these claims by Taurus trying to hope that all of the students in the franchise are lesbians so they wouldn't be interested in the main character Sensei who is the only male character in the franchise and honestly if that Dynamic upsets you in the first place like how are you consuming blue archive that is the entire point of the franchise is to be Sensei and collecting your herum of female students that's literally the whole point of the franchise so if that bothers you you can enjoy this at its core go find something else to do however we would see some reply here that you can tell by the number of likes and the Thousand replies they were getting cooked but this user said I will compromise we will make them all lesbian but the main character will be a futari where the user would reply saying that would be great just don't be weird with the girls we're talking about making Sensei a Fuda and they agree to those terms and say just don't be weird about it this whole thing is weird and that's fine it's fine to be weird but like how do you have to like how do you enjoy this franchise if you have to have such a crazy level of change applied to it for you to even be able to tolerate it in the first place however this would go even deeper this user would ratio them into the shadow realm with this quote and it is a screenshot of a previous tweet from this user saying we won and what they're quoting is a situation we covered on this channel where briefly an artist took down their artwork featuring a straight ship of get impact characters and people were really mad in the genin impact Community a bunch of psychos in there were harassing this artist because they believed that the female character in the straight ship was actually a lesbian and they considered that the equivalent of a war crime and they were harassing this artist sending them death threats all kinds of crazy stuff however to spite the user we're just talking about now and to give you the good ending of that situation the artist would eventually come around and repost that artwork and basically say I'm not going to be bullied into removing this artwork that was the good ending but they lost so that weird quote they had people didn't forget and they lost anyways but they would even go further making this tweet saying Arona lollycon are weird and gross leave me alone trans women are real women I love all trans people love is love I hate trans phobes and homophobes quoting from this character Arona so yeah I don't think she said that and the note here would reflect that so once again the community notes system on Twitter being the best feature it says this Arona is a fictional character and she has never even talked about any of this any of these themes so yeah I I think we should normalize this when people want to politicize a character for their own agenda you should get hit with a note there's nothing wrong with head Cannon you can view a character however you want in your own mind but when you start putting words and phrases and messages to these characters and claiming them as fact for some sort of an agenda that's when you need to be shut down and hit with notes like this and the quotes on that tweet were absolutely brutal this is probably the tamest reply I could find and it's still pretty brutal like people were not having the situation people are not going to tolerate people trying to politicize and change characters for their own agenda that is a very quick way to piss people off in general but especially in the blue archive Community now that's going to do it for this video another round of funny stories and drama coming out of blue archive you can definitely check out the anime or the game if you want it is highly recommended but that's going to do it for this video as always I hope you guys enjoyed and share your thoughts about today's topics in the comment section down below and I'll see you guys next time
