While it is true that thanks to the new "inclusion and diversity" consultant companies (that totally do that because they believe in their ethical values and not because they can achieve what is basically a legal form of shakedown racket and force companies to pay them to avoid a mass smearing campaign) even US brands aren't save anymore (just look at the "uglyfication" of many DC/Marvel characters in recent movies and games because the original designs were "too sexualized" ) Asian IP usually get far more hate.
May I remind you that even in something as praised as "Big Bang Theory" Penny character archetype was basically "dumb blonde that sleeps with everyone"?
Or do you prefer your average Sex&TheCity style show where - again - the distinctive traits of the female lead is being very debauchee and willing to entertain the watchers with the most intriguing tales about how many time they got laid and where the day before?
@Peilonrayz Just a reminder that Wukong got attacked because it lacked "inclusion" too.
And that was just part of a suspiciously synchronized series of "wukong devs are bad" scandals
@Peilonrayz if you didn't saw that before, start here

SPArcheon - on strike First, there were rumors of sexism and inappropriate behavior from the game company devs. Some referenced an interview and some translated passage, but then other sources pointed out that the translation was purposely wrong and crafted.
@Peilonrayz Also, again, I don't care about Stellar nor the fanservice.
Yet, since you mentioned that game again... that is a pretty good example of the widely accepted reality probably being utterly wrong.
After the game was released, some discovered that some of the most fanservice outfit looked like they were "censored", after the devs promised "No censorship" in a twitter post. For example a swimsuit looked poorly edited in the chest area and made the character look like they were wearing two suits one on top the other.
During an interview the devs said that there was no censorship and those were the intended designs.
So, now, that is the "accepted truth"
Yet, for some reasons... The files on the disk contain an "unedited" version of the outfits (the game got a day one patch), the game inventory icons for the outfits match the unedited versions and not the "released" one, the game tutorials contains image of the unedited outfits etc etc.
The takeaway from all of this is that from the outside you won't ever have the full picture.
If you ask me this look like a last minute censorship that was mandated by someone at Sony.
@Peilonrayz Alas, back to the original topic... just for fun... do you ever saw the censorship Genshin got on some characters?
Mona new outfit (top left) look even more stupid. The fact that the legs are detached from the rest kinda kills the attempt at making the outfit NOT look like a swimsuit
Jean had her dress closed up... more on this later.
Rosaria (bottom left) had the outfit changed so that the chest stand out less. In the process, the outfit looks more like a nun. She IS a nun, but based on how she acts you probably want her to stand out as odd. I question if the new version isn't actually worse in a way.
Amber (bottom right) stays most the same, but the edit in the chest area looks quite stupid (they airbrushed the line but keep the same dress shape) - it looks like a bad edit. At the same time they recolored the outfit decreasing contrast and made it generally worse.
It is clear that those were external meddling. It is not clear why these characters were targeted specifically.
Later they airbrushed the belly button on a character. Yet Raiden still has her
chest sword, Yoimiya wears sarashi underwear, Ganyu and Shenhe
share a single dress etc etc etc...
What symbols or writing system are on the ancient rock in the anime, "Beyblade V-Force"?
Specifically, referring to the rock that the Rock Bit-beasts came from.
For Example:
Is it just a made up language and writing system or is it based off of any existing language and writing system?
