![]() In answer to your recent feedback, we removed a Halloween artwork, which had brought inconvenience to commanders when the game was played in public, from the current loading screens during yesterday’s hotfix. In about 12 hours the Azur Lane team removed the "offensive" artwork This loading screen issue finally boiled over when all Azur Lane English language social media areas became a clash between fans/supporters of Piukute062 and Linka's art and those who hated/opposed its inclusion in the game. Piukute062 himself had expressed that it would be disrespectful to the artists to allow players to hide certain loading screens. These pleas from fans seemingly fell on deaf ears as Azur Lane staffers appeared to completely ignore the issue. Members of the community had asked for the ability to select which loading screens they would see with a toggle switch or some similar mechanic implemented into game. The idea that some fans of Azur Lane felt they couldn't play the game around friends, family, or the general public was something that had been expressed to the Azur Lane staff several times. Piukute062's winning National Holiday Art Extravaganza drawing (Yes, both those screens are too lewd for Google Adsense.) While you may laugh at people playing a waifu collecting game being embarrassed by a lewd loading screen, this was an ongoing complaint from fans of the English language version of Azur Lane. Fans who had expressed reservations about a bathing loading screen were now upset about Piukute062 and Linka's winning entry. ![]() Almost immediately after the winners were announced there was quite an uproar on the Azur Lane Discord server. The duo managed to finish up in 5th place after trailing behind in 7th for a while. Since you know the art was removed it is fairly obvious that Piukute062 and Linka won the contest. As you may have guessed, this game was originally released in China and brought over to the West sometime later. ![]() It is a game heavy on the fanservice and not shy about letting you know it knows why you're playing. You command these shipgirls in sidescrolling battles against other shipgirls and warships, partake in minigames, and collect waifus. Azur Lane is a gacha game that features real life warships anthropomorphized into loli girls and busty maidens. If you're still reading, then allow me to quickly summarize this game. If you clicked on this article then you probably have an idea what kind of game Azur Lane is so if that is the case you can skip past this paragraph. As such a line about it in the article was slightly altered. *Editor's note 3: The Azur Lane staff has said they have heard the people asking for a loading screen toggle and internal discussions about it are ongoing. *Editor's note 2: a member of the Azur Lane staff, Intern-Kun gave a personal statement on the issue to our writer and it was added to the end. We have corrected the error and docked our writer's pay. Supposedly taken from the Azur Lane English Community Group on FB.Ģnd Update: Artist's final (?) word on the controv ģrd Update: Commentor McFungos' contribution on more links and the entire Discord conversation.*Editor's note, the game was incorrectly stated as being from Japan instead of China. Update to the whole controversy: Supposedly this shows that the artists' words were somewhat doctored. Remember to not treat these types of situations as 100% fact. I'd like you to look at both the earlier link and this link before creating an opinion. But unfortunately, this doesn't show all of the conversation the artist was in, so it could very well be a setup. ![]() ![]() Keep checking back to the original post as I find more updates about this until there's no more.ĮDIT: There's also another post showing that the artist supposedly had bad intentions for the contest to begin with. What's your take on this small controversy? (I don't know if it's really controversy worthy but it's worth talking about especially when it involves an artists work.) Probably got a hold of the artist by now.) Overall, the devs apologize for the removal but never got a hold of the artist (according to the discord message. Some call the removal censorship, some are glad, some are noticing the artist's name for the first time and spamming their profiles and rewteeting them on #AzurLane. Because of this the playbase is somewhat divided among art in AL. So they remove the artist's art from the loading screens. According to their official statement in their AL Discord ( ) AL Devs, remove Halloween art for being to inconvenient for players who play out in public. ![]()
