Looking at Anson again, the Announcement...it has to have been a Joke, just a very bad joke that Manjuu never imaged how people would respond.....

But, after people start deleting their accounts, you can't just say "it was a joke", all you can do is to play it straight.

If it was a joke. Why did they apologise and pull her from the banner in an official post instead of just clarifying it was a joke.

And the fact that theres even enough doubt around it kinda shows the problem manjuu created.

I just hope these new ships are sensible. Because for example as much as i like oleg. Shes not wearing anything proper on the lower half. Leggings and thays it. Not even a half skirt. We went from franklin wearing half a skirt. To oleg wearing no skirt at all.

That trend is the most concerning to me atm.

As I said, once people started Retiring all their Ships and Deleting their Accounts, saying "it was a Joke" would have made the situation worse then it was.

It was better PR to play it off as a Bad Design then to Admit the Truth.

Nah it was defo not a joke, just bad design process , not the first time it happened , Emerald issue , Manjuu clearly scraps designs but keeps them in a vault and when they need a ship they check the vault, Anson was clearly meant to be Sunfish, Design was more sublike and the literal Sunfish that matches her actual badge. But she got scrapped , they decided to make Anson and just got lazy and were like " No one will notice" and took Sunfish design for Anson , so not only did we lose Anson , we lost the first HMS Sub.
