For anyone not clicking thru:
I see this as them wanting influencers to focus on their game, instead of using the game as a platform to wade into these other topics that focus on the country they happen to live in. And this being an election year in the US ,and the Right having spread wild conspiracy theories about China for years now, them not wanting any of that stuff to overshadow their art doesn't seem all that crazy of a take. Basically they are saying they want influencers to talk about the game and to leave politics to /c/politics.
Oh and this is of course only sent to influencers, so just people they are giving the game to for free. The rest of the world (including influencers that buy their own copy) are of course free to do whatever they are legally allowed to in their jurisdiction.
Edit - I just want to add an edit after reading the IGN article someone linked above, that I am not siding with or defending any of the gross things coming from people working at this studio. And I guess this would come down to if people can separate the art from the artist, which I personally struggle with in many instances.
The use of “feminist propaganda” over “misogyny” seems very deliberate.
Yes, because it seems the studio doesn't have any problem with misogyny
Oh for sure. I do wonder what part the Chinese government takes in shaping the wording of "exports" like this too.
None, Azur Lane chinese is completely different and censored from Azur Lane's JP and global versions.
I might give them the benefit of the doubt and say its a translation issue
