The bulk update request #15656 is pending approval.
create alias a.r.o.n.a_(blue_archive) -> plana_(blue_archive)
In Blue Archive plot, the A.R.O.N.A. character was now a full pledged member under the player and given an actual name as Plana.
I do not know if I should do update or other things, but it is up to you guys.
This is a spoiler

Technically yes bit the game itself did trended massively during the plot release. Almost everyone knows this right now just like everyone knows toki (another blue archive character that is massively hot and blew up)
I personally feel that knowing that Plana exists at all is the bigger spoiler, and being exposed to the fact that she gets a different name (without any idea of the circumstances surrounding that name) is minor in comparison.
It does potentially imply that the brief scene that teases her disappearance isn't 'the end' for her, but she could get a new name and then disappear, for all anyone knows at that point.
In any case since the thread name is very non-descriptive right now we should avoid unmarked spoilers in here, and ideally dropkick-tm or someone else should edit the opening post to indicate there are spoilers being discussed.

The difference is that there's no way to hide a character, unless we started tagging every character yet to appear in the Global version of the game spoilers, which would be pointless when they're getting hundreds of posts and everyone is talking about them, because for many players it's important to know about future playable characters.
On the other hand, A.r.o.n.a getting a new name and joining arona (blue archive) in the shittim chest is a plot spoiler, and specifically for the resolution of that part of the story. If you're a Global player who's not keeping up with the plot as it releases in JP, you have no idea of any of this, though you probably know her original name and what she looks like. You're not even allowed to talk about her in the official discord server, less so specific plot details related to her. I only even know about it because of people spoiling it here on Danbooru, because I actively avoid unreleased plot details.
Changing her name just encourages people to ask about and discuss it, and they're not going to bother adding spoiler tags. I can't support changing tags to be more spoilery than they may already be.

Global is already spoiled by every single thing that exist in JP anyway, so it is invitable unless they choose not to poke around in JP-dedicated discussions.

This is mainly my point. Even just going to the Blue Archive tag on both twitter and pixiv will get you spoiled either way. No need to poke around jp-discussions. It does not help that all jp players will have both Arona and Plana being cute in the game UI from now on.
EDIT. Just to reinforce the point. Everyone and their moms have shiroko alter fanarts by this point.

I only learned about it through this thread, so it's not like it's a universal thing. Plenty of global players do their best to avoid story spoilers until story hits global servers and outside of the Fate community openly discussing every possible spoiler about new content the very minute stuff comes out on JP the same goes for other gachas too such as Arknights.
Sure, you can't avoid knowing about the existence of a future character when you're a global player (such as Shiroko Alter) but you can still manage to avoid story developments as best as you can, and many players try to.
