Oh, trust me, if you watched the episode itself, it
is a major mistranslation, not an editing issue. My explanation of what was going prior to that scene probably wouldn't do it justice, but here goes:
A boy, Chiba, is tired of having to settle with just mildly ecchi scenes in mangas to fill his sexual appetite, so Futaba wants to buy him a real porn magazine. But because she's not eighteen, she decides to just draw a porn magazine herself since she is good at drawing nudes.
Of course she brings Shinya along as the "editor" and proceeds to show him the nudes she drawing in order to see if they are indeed arousing. Shinya suggests that having some of the nudes wear underwear would make them even more appealing, and Futaba agrees with him.
However, she finds out that she's is only adept at drawing nude women and not at drawing underwear on them. That's when Shinya suggests using real underwear as a model. Futaba, being a total airhead, starts to take off her pants in order to use her own underwear as a model before Shinya immediately stops her. Then, still confused, she thinks that Shinya wants to use Hitoha as the underwear model, which is where she flips her skirt in the first picture.
That is where apparently Crunchyroll translated Shinya's line as "She's not wearing any!" instead of "[Use] The ones you're not wearing!" ("you're" in this case being plural, but I guess if we want to get the point across better, it would be "the ones nobody is wearing!"). So it should be the latter translation that prompts Futaba to go to the underwear drawer looking for unused panties instead of the first.
In any case, it's the end results that matters, and right now people think Hitoha doesn't wear underwear (at least in that scene) even though the original Japanese suggested nothing of the sort. And like I said, if it was a clever troll, then I salute whoever came up with it.
