The famous anime streaming site Crunchyroll has disabled and deleted comments from its entire platform, including its episodes and news articles. This thing happened because of 2 reasons. First, the review bombing on the ongoing Yaoi anime Twilight Out of Focus (Tasogare Out Focus). The other reason is the subtitles of the ongoing comedy anime My Deer Friend Nokotan (Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan) in which many users claim that the subtitles were A.I. Generated.
It all happened after the Viral tweet of the X account user @G0ffThew about Twilight Out of Focus anime and the Subtitle discussion of the r/crunchyroll subreddit:
Lot of deeply pathetic people review-bombing the new BL anime “Twilight out of Focus,” claiming “this isn’t about homophobia” from their profiles with single-digit review counts.

As we can see, many fans are criticizing for getting the recommendation of a BL anime Twilight Out of Focus and the quality of subs in the My Deer Friend Nekotan anime.
According to Crunchyroll Support, this step was taken to reduce harmful content and prevent misinformation, with the goal of improving the overall user experience:
