The only reason I did not buy Wukong is because my poor computer has 0 chance of running it above 5 FPS. The game looks amazing.

This game is awesome

That's a shame.

Care to elaborate?

In the info packet they sent to streamers, they asked them not to talk about "feminist propaganda" and they don't want you to talk about how shitty china's game industry is(I fully recognize just about all game industries are bad now though).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm split on this. Obviously bad, but not sure I can blame the developers for this fully as (if I understand it correctly, which I might not) they are sort of bound by CCP law? I imagine "stirring up controversy"/"making China look bad" might have some rather dire consequences for the developers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Let's be clear here I very, very much doubt that this was the devs and was instead most likely a pr drone but I do take your point to an extent. All the had to do was not say anything and it would have been better for them though

Is this mandatory in any way?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

only if you are accepting to be in their content creator program and get the free key

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's still shady, though. Google/YouTube's "content creators" should reject and expose this kind of deal.

wasnt that debunked as fake? legit question, I dont really follow this game

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I just looked for it and found nothing to indicate it is fake. If it has been proven as a fake, I would love to see where that info is coming from, and if it turns out it is fake, I will edit my other comments to link to that fact.

What's wrong with not talking about politics while gaming? They ask to leave gaming for gaming.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

What year is this? Are we in GamerGate again?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They shouldn't be asking you not to talk about human rights. That is up to the individual streamer to decide if they want to talk about it or not.

[+] [email protected] -21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

those individual streamers can decide not to play the game

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And they have, but you are missing the point entirely.

[+] [email protected] -21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

what point? they can decide not to play the game and share their lame political opinions to their followers, hell they can even go on a rant about how Nuking China will cure cancer if they want. free will and all that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Congratulations

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's really sad to see such a lack of understanding in people, and it's sad that to some people, human rights for 50% of the human population is somehow a "lame political opinion".

I wonder why women don't normally take those kinds of jobs. Could it be that men have often made these kinds of jobs a "boys club," forcing women to constantly prove themselves and deal with harassment so they feel unwelcomed? I mean, it couldn't be that, even after women were allowed to do these jobs, they faced an uphill battle getting in, let alone being taken seriously. I mean, damn those women for not enlisting until it was legal (even though many women worked as spies, nurses, and even disguised themselves to fight, but whatever. ).

Hear that women, we're having fun. We're just looking for comforts such as * reads notes * bodily autonomy and the privilege of, let's see, ah yes, the privilege to talk about what issues we may be facing and to truly be seen as equal and not just "beta men." Male political issues are well and good though. That's not on the list, thank goodness🫂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

And there are women fighting for that btw. As far as the other jobs you mentioned why the fuck would anyone want those jobs? They pay shit and they destroy your body so ya why would anyone regardless of gender want to do that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Good points! Thanks for providing info.
