Chinese Video/Computer Games

Sweet Baby Inc used someone, not one of the developers at Game Science, who made a comment on their site as an example of Game Science's misogynistic culture...? If true, I'm not surprised because that's what the US news media does by quoting someone on Chinese social media to paint all of China. And let's not skip past that someone in the US could've wrote that comment for Americans to use to legitimize the story.

Interesting about this "Uglification of Women" thing. I noticed this happening in movies and TV. I never knew it may be intentional. I was watching Beverly Hills Cop and the original Road House movies. Both had gratuitous nudity of women. Of course I understand it's a sign of the times that they don't do that in movies anymore but intentionally having "average" or no women to replace them...? Look at the Fall Guy remake movie. For anyone who didn't see the original TV show, there's a popular main supporting character missing from the movie version... For women they can still have handsome actors in roles in movies and TV so they can have their fantasies. But don't count on a geeky guy having a hot girlfriend that isn't a comedy like it were natural. I'll hear a woman being described as sexy on a show but it's a straight woman or gay man, two people that have no interests in have sexual relations with a women, saying it. And of course those women aren't "sexy" to a straight man.


This guy has several videos talking about this. He mentions that it's suspicious and yellow journalism that IGN and others will write articles reviewing the game but then out of nowhere mentions the accusations of sexism at the end of a review article. Trump has accused this of how the media reports on him where they will add other negative things out of left field to stories that have nothing to do with what the story is about. The West does this with China all the time. They publish a story about China and then at the end out of nowhere they'll mention something like Uighur slaves in China when the story had nothing to do with geopolitics. That especially happens on anything positive said about China and then at the end they have to mention something bad about China. When Xi Jinping comes the US, all of the sudden there's a slew of new accusations against China reported by the Western media when they're not current events. For human rights crimes, they don't seem to expose them immediately after they find out about them. They wait until an event they can exploit to expose them.

Just to add to my posts over Sweet Baby Inc's extortion... What happened to the West's cries over artistic integrity? They whine about when China censors their movies or forces them to make changes in order to be shown in China. I remember arguing this long ago in this forum where I said China should not restrict foreign movies shown in China to just thirty. There should be no limit but judge each one and charge like the MPAA in the US does when giving a movie rating. But China can do more than just rate a movie based on violence and nudity. They can include political content or anything else that doesn't sit well with the Chinese.

Because of Sweet Baby Inc's extortion, now China can force a Hollywood movie studio on who they can cast in their movies. China can force Hollywood to having positive portrayals of a North Korean character that China can demand they include. Just imaging the "soft power" China will gain with world when China demands Hollywood have a character of whatever nationality is on China's good side they want... Sweet Baby Inc is worse than anything they accuse of China. China demands only movies show in China make changes. Sweet Baby Inc is demanding all games distributed around the world follow to what they demand. China just limiting foreign movies to thirty makes no one consider it if they already okayed thirty movies. No quotas makes them all think about it.

You'd figure independent filmmakers are independent because they don't want someone else telling them what to do so they wouldn't care what China thinks. But the organization that represents them complained that their movies don't have a chance of being shown in China because of the Chinese preference for blockbusters. Well they could all be under China's scrutiny too because in the end independent filmmakers want to be shown the money also.

China can still allow only a small number of movies be shown in China but now they will make a lot of money than from just only thirty movies they allow now in just submission fees. I don't know what the MPAA charges for each movie they review but it has to a good chunk of change. China could charge more and make more than they ever will and they could control how Hollywood makes movies thanks to what Sweet Baby Inc demands. They set the precedent for this.
