Weird, I have a sudden urge to talk about nothing but feminist propaganda, covid and China's game industry policies.
Fuck right the fuck off, dude. I get the part about using offensive language and insulting other streamers/players but actively forbidding them from mentioning politics, feminism, whatever is weak. Tf is feminist propaganda even?
Feminist propaganda = women are people too
Probably
Woah there, let's not get too political /s
Are the protagonist characters men, or political?
Someone ran a DND game from a module, but decided to switch the gender of everyone in the module without telling the players.
The players were convinced there was some secret conspiracy to get rid of the men, because the only man they could find anywhere was the unnamed spouse of the blacksmith.
All men: business as usual. All women: there must be a secret conspiracy to erase the men.
20 years ago, our DM invited a guy he knew at work. Dude was new in town, moved there for school, and they got to talking about DnD. After a few months, seemed like a nice, reasonable, guy with compatible interests. Dude was immediately weird once he showed up. After a few games he stopped showing up, much to the relief of the group.
Few months later DM said the guy came to him, angry, that he didn't tell him that half the party were "feeeemales". This was before the archetype of an incel/neckbeard was a thing. So, he was just an awkward loser. Seems he felt like DnD was not something for "feeeemales". We were just glad he came off as kinda cold, maybe a little hostile, for the couple games he showed up for. That could have been a much worse situation, but he showed his ass quickly, in private. DM said the guy stopped talking to him after he told him that if he felt that way, he wasn't welcome. Then, at the end of the school year, he left DM an e-mail just going on an unhinged incel rant.
Edit: holy shit, this was 25 years ago now. gonna go not think about this now.
Incels: How come no women want to date me?
Also incels: Eeew, women in my social spaces how even dare they!?
Yeah, he even quoted Gary Gygax's statement about wanting women to stay away from DnD and war-games, in that e-mail. It was wild shit, and certain lines from that e-mail became running jokes at our game sessions.
Oh, ok. I'll wait for a mod that allows me to play through as Winnie The Pooh and just bootleg the game.

TAIWAN #1!!
Could add a reference to the coup against Xi, too. Dunno if it's true, but it's probably something whoever is in control of the CCP would want to censor either way, at least until they are ready to openly replace Xi if it is true (though even then, they probably won't be calling it a coup).
What does all the chinese text say?
I assuming it says the same thing as the English before it, but in Chinese.
TAIWAN #1!! CHINA #4!!
Is mentioning Barbara Streisand in this context feminist propaganda? 😄
So hope this backfires and everyone lays into these fuckers hard.

I haven't wanted to pirate a game this much since Hogwarts.
So this is a request made in the context of emails sent out gifting streamers promotional copies of the game, not a condition of paid promotional streams, am I getting that right?
CohhCarnage said something about this.
Game Devs often include requests along these lines for sponsored segments of a stream (and only the parts of the stream paid for), including talking about COVID during the high point of the COVID pandemic.
The odd part that he noted is some of the specific wording, that he attributed to mistranslation - like "feminist propaganda".
I have no idea about the parts relating to Chinese game dev.
The benefit of the doubt in me says: this is some bad translation and culture disconnect.
The pragmatist in me says: this guides content creators. So, take such content with a pinch of salt in these regards - play the game if it actually seems decent.
I feel like the pragmatist is pretty much default these days, all content guides you to some conclusion. So do what the fuck you want.
🦜☠️ (Idk what the emoji is. I'm sure you understand) If it really rubs you the wrong way
Maybe they're going with the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" approach.
Nevermind
