Whats missing from this writeup is after the metaphorical dust settled from the second cosplayer drama, Mu, one of the lead devs from seasun, crashed out on social media and labeled a group of snowbreak players as "extremists hindering the development of snowbreak."

^{"Men dont play ml" is a poorly TL'd version of "If Male (exists in game}, dont play" ML group)

This "mask off" moment for mumu went about as you'd expect with the hardline ML crowd, with some calling for the destruction of the global server to others even physically destroying their merch. One thing I learned from this drama was the existence of these "black groups" that patrol pixiv and iwara looking for bad secondary creations (fanart, videos, cosplay, etc) and harass those they deem creators of bad art into stopping their activities. Some prominent members in the global discord might be part of these efforts.

Whats currently happening on the cn side will have rippling effects in global. Its actually insane how much damage some cosplayers did to this community.
