hopefully this isnt worded bad and i apologise if so, but do you know any instances where stories have been (heavily) altered after massive backlash from fandom? im a kinda newer enstarrie and havent heard of any before!!! i ask this because of concern around how ibuki with akatsuki will be handled, if it turns out to be poorly written and enough people write to happyele pointing out criticisms etc can it be rewritten? thanks in advancee n sorry again :')
usually story altering are things that fly underneath my radar a lot, so i can't tell for sure, but i think it's also worth mentioning the infamous main story edits. i am not fully sure if that is due to internal sensitivity checks potentially due to apple store forcing them to raise their game's ratings, or because of outcry. that would be;
- eichi comparing using blackmail against crazy:b's to revenge p*rn
- rinne mocking undead by making an implication they got good jobs by sleeping with higher-ups
the revenge p*rn line in particular offended a lot of female players due to how serious an issue it is. happy elements released an apology alongside their edit for their insensitivity
what also comes to mind is the Mad Party instance...
izumi claimed in the epilogue that leo forced him to choose "between himself or his songs" alongside the rest of leo's "friends", but it had been heavily established that izumi was the sole exception. this glaring inaccuracy caused a massive backlash by fans and knightsP.
it eventually was corrected, and most people cite the reason to be "due to fan backlash", but it's unclear what the real reason was (and i'm failing to find the changelog released for it) as it can easily have been fixed "for lore inconsistencies", as stories are already often edited for that reason.
all in all, if ibuki is poorly handled, i do think there would be merit in writing to them and expressing dissatisfaction! i personally would like to think sensitivity edits could be made!
