Koxinga’s grandpa. At least it is historically feasible.
Recently there is a new Chinese game called "Sultan's Game"，which is causing lots of controversy within Chinese gaming community，because the game contains LGBTQ elements.
This isn't the first time though，as the LGBTQ/Woke/DEI/MeToo etc Western culture infiltrate China，this kind of crap is happening more and more frequently. Just like what's happening in the West

Oh my god, Their will be Japanese games based on "Fantasy European Worlds" where there will be one Japanese token guy just trying to impress the European characters.
TIL that LGBTQ is "woke", "DEI", "MeToo" and a product of Western culture. No western country (especially China!) has ever had LGBT people before Westerners invaded lol.
Your kind of attitude is the actual western crap being spread around the world right now (just like all the anti-sodomy laws from yesteryear; do you know where Sodom was? here's a hint: not in China).
You'd fit right in with all the people grumbling about Mao fighting for equal rights to women and minorities. You might have even called him "woke."
If you are into Woke culture，that's fine，just don't bother others.
The issue I'm talking about in this topic，is about the Woke group attack any games that doesn't fit their value/ideology. This happens in Western game community，also happens in Chinese game community. Even Black myth Wukong got attacked by these people，did you know that？
Okay, two different issues here, though. I agree with you on the issue of "woke group attacks" against games that don't fit their ideology, and I definitely did not like the attacks on Black Myth Wukong (which is a really excellent game, and the "attacks" didn't even make sense anyway).
However, you mentioned a game with LGBTQ content released and people stirred up a controversy over the LGBTQ content, then went on to say that more of this would happen as more LGBT "culture" gets imported into China.
I interpreted that as you being on the side grumbling about that game - i.e., it sounded like you and the people stirring up a controversy about this game with LGBT content are in the same group of people as the people who attacked Black Myth Wukong for having content that they did not like. I.e., complaining about a game because the game has content that they do not like. This is the western crap I complained about.
I am absolutely not into "woke culture." Let people play what they want, and let companies develop whatever games they want. If a Chinese studio wants to make a game full of LGBT characters then they should go ahead and there is nothing "western" about it in any way whatsoever. China has LGBT people too, and has always historically had them. Just like every other country in the world.
The game studio cheated buyers by not telling them that there is LGBTQ content in the game，only after people bought the game and start to play it were this content being discovered.
If the studio revealed this in advance，there won't be so much controversy
if it like love interest and only if the player has to make the choice to be LGBTQ in the game, i'm fine.
Kind of like Cyberpunk or Kingdom come Deliverance 2.
If its in your face all the time like forces the player to be LGBTQ yeah i want to know before hand so i can ignore the game.
For example the game has to be really special before i will play as a female protagonist so its most likely i will skip the new witcher.
In the year 2025 of our lord studios should just provide male or female player character, like Mass effect series. I think bioware was a studio that did LGBTQ stuff really well.
If you are so easily triggered (seriously, this is what those westerners call snowflake level, since LGBT is literally everywhere in both people and animals, you probably have LGBT friends/family members too afraid to tell you about it, even swans make gay couples lol), then I'd recommend waiting for a trusted reviewer who understands you to review the games and give you a list of trigger warnings (trigger warning: contains female protagonist!, trigger warning: contains LGBT content!, trigger warning: female NPC mentions getting paid the same as her husband!, etc...)
Game developers shouldn't be expected to list every single potential trigger warning in their games, that's ridiculous! That's like saying Black Myth Wukong developers deserved the hate they got because they didn't list any trigger warnings (trigger warning: no female main character!, trigger warning: no cast diversity!).
The world would be in a much better place if people just let art be art and not riot every time some company makes a product that's not catered to avoid their every single ultra-specific trigger (whatever side of the aisle they are in).
i apologize if I'm being a little harsh, but I used to work as a game developer and it's just long grueling hours, very hard work to try to get something good for the public, and it's fine to hear people complain about legitimate issues with the game (bugs, poor controls, clunky gameplay, etc...), but grueling over something for so long just for people to complain that something they don't even have to buy if they don't want is not catered to their every ultra specific need is exhausting, and it just keeps happening more and more these days.
