Isn’t this the game where reviewers/streamers)?) are not allowed to mention feminism?

So if I posted a review saying that Black Myth: Wukong is as badass as when Rosie the Riveter invented COVID in a Chinese lab, would they be upset?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 weeks ago
Not sure, but to be on the safe side just don’t title it “Black Myth Wukong is the most impactful global phenomenon to come out of China since the pandemic”.

Why mention feminism when you have monkey furry glory ?

Specifically reviewers who want free keys aren’t allowed to mention the feminism stuff. Any reviewer paying for it out of pocket can’t be silenced or censored

This is possibly fake as noted on another thread.

It’s real according to someone from Forbes: nitter.poast.org/PaulTassi/…/1825193786273681489 . Reviewers didn’t get these guidelines but some content creators did, which is why everyone’s confused.

Yeah it is confusing. Anyway, I still prefer to judge a game on its merits primarily and not on whether some of the people behind it are jerks or hold views antithetical to my own.

Also confirmed by SI.com (which I didn’t know had video games writing, and it’s surprisingly good as it turns out). GI dot biz published a recap yesterday.
It’s been long enough that the publisher would have put out a statement by now if it was false.
