In a leaked memo, Beijing said it no longer sees games as 'entertainment', but instead as a form of art that must promote what it considers 'correct values' and an 'accurate understanding' of history and culture.

Being a communist regime they fully understand the power of propaganda, and it's power to shape impressionable young minds.

There is a difference between free speech and propaganda. Free speech comes with responsibility. For example, in the west there is a trend of race swapping historical characters which is intended to warp the publics perception of reality. That is propaganda masquerading as free speech.

The purpose of free speech is to propagate the truth.

Communist? No. Not any more. They're fascist.

Thank you this made me think. I looked at this cheat sheet and I think China is currently a hybrid of the two - https://www.diffen.com/difference/Communism_vs_Fascism

Perhaps, but it's definitely trending towards fascist

I wish they’d edit Sims 4 to be allowed in China. I’m so tired of the LGBT bullshit being added to my favorite game. Like I already bought the game and EPs before I noticed how bad it was so I’ll go in and delete all the gay and trans characters, get rid of the racist anti white bits. I can manage to play it in a way that’s wholesome, but every other thing in that game is LGBT themed. I never would’ve given them my money in recent years. Why would I give money to someone who hates me??

Please educate me about the antiwhite racism in SIms 4.

One example- in the Get Together EP there is a mixed race couple, black man and redhead woman with twins. The black dad has all good traits. There’s a blonde, Nordic looking family in the same neighborhood. The dad in that family has bad traits. He’s a slob. Ew, slobby white guys, black guy is such a catch is what it implies.

Another example is the Landgraab family. Blondes with the name Landgraab, I mean, come on lol.

These might seem like they’re poking fun, not a huge deal but this could influence kids and stupid people. It seems like most of the Sims game community embraced the Weimar level crap. I can totally see why countries ban games like this.

I never got the appeal of them in the first place. My brother's wife played them all back in the day.

I wonder what's going to happen in Western gaming studios. You have the businessmen who want to tap into the huge Chinese market, and you have the leftist commie activists who view video games as a way to spread far left messages. But you can't be in China while spreading these messages at the same time. So what? Are they going to fight or are we going to get versions for China that have all the lefty bullshit removed?

It wouldn't be that difficult to have a removable gay character, a removable gay scene, a removable gay mission, etc.
