really awesome reviews happening over at resetera

I first heard of this issue from a Chinese writer on twitter, but oh no the person apparently hates white people (as a white person, I don't blame him!), so CLEARLY that invalidates any critique over this, clearly!

Like I said, this is gross. I don't care if you wanted to make a Chinese game, you would've been smarter to recruit actual Chinese people to design and direct the game. You can oversee it as the "creator", but this just screams "Chinese by white people" if that makes sense.

Whilst playing through my review copy, I found myself distracted by a question that threatened to consume my conscience like Alf consuming the Tanners' pet cat: What exactly is Milon's Secret Castle trying to say? It's been nearly two years since the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and try as I might, I could find no direct mention or even oblique reference to what has to be the most devastating and defining tragedy of our generation. Are we to assume that Hudson Soft wants us to forget about the socio-political impact of last year's events? Or, more nauseating still, do they simply have nothing to say about it?

It's 1987 — we can do better. We must do better.

As a white ((sic) left intentionally lowercase out of disdain) person I recognize that my voice is fundamentally stifling in its power, and will be withholding my thoughts, which I assure you would have been furious. Please take this time to google Chinese people, and consider hiring one yourself.

I asked the lead developer of Sifu about the colonisation of Asian spaces over a dinner recently. He asked me if I liked Sifu and when I responded yes he proceeded to open his still full mouth and quite racistly say “see food”

We don't want to fixate too much on these individuals because there's no way to say what level of representation is "enough" when the concerns go far beyond the team's makeup, but it is inaccurate to say that no Chinese people worked on the project.

These facts don't erase the concerns that people have surrounding the game's content or marketing, the valuable conversation to be had about authenticity and, as one reviewer put it, "cultural tourism," and most importantly, the safety of our peers in the industry who are facing harassment for their valid critiques.
