I may have prematurely jumped the gun on my previous comments about Drama Queen inevitably being pozzed. I hope I'm wrong. This all being said though, we thought Attack on Titan was based too.
Disclaimer for errors since I never read/watched MHA, but I know there was a doctor character who was called 'Dr. Maruta', translated 'Dr. Log'. Mostly (exclusively?) Chinese grievance farmers raised hell because 'maruta' was the term used for test subjects/victims of Japan's brutal Unit 731 in WW2. The claims of if being a direct reference became inflated, to the point that people started saying Unit 731's entire project was referred to as 'Project Maruta' (it wasn't; closest claim I could find is that the unit might have called the project Holzklotz internally, german for 'log'). It is also just the extremely common term for wooden logs - if you've ever played an MMO in Japanese, you've probably collected 1000 'marutas' at some stage.
Regardless, the creator acquiesced to the outcry and changed the name.
Wow, that sounds even more pathetic than the outcry over Tanjirou's earrings, from Demon Slayer.
(People were bitching that they had the rising sun design of the flag from Imperial Japan and that's bad, because reasons. And it wasn't even true in the first place.)

My Hero Academia started going downhill the instant Kohei Horikoshi changed the name of that doctor.
I'm out of the loop on that one. What happened?

It's okay to just enjoy things. You don't have to be so addicted to losing that you look for things to preemptively worry about.
Bruh why are you obsessing over this
