Chinese Censorship

I have played the game for a while now and it seems evident that the PRC had a heavy hand in censoring the game. The reasons for this are many and subtle but a few examples are:

Lack of Buddhism in the game, only Confucianism and Taoism are actively referenced (as far as I know, might have missed something)

Yellow Turban factions follow an extreme form of Taoism that seems to be based around equality. The overtones of communism and attempt to connect this to Chinese Communism are evident.

Complete lack of non-Han factions in the game (although there are some non-Han units, but very few). Nanyue area is completely devoid of settlement or settled by Han. Of course we can expect DLC in these areas, but why are there no factions at all here -- unless PRC said not to put any? This point is tenuous.

Fairly apparent PRC-esque influence in character dialogue, with themes of suffering for the common good, and 'China' especially, far more prominent than themes of ambition and betrayal (e.g. Cao Cao seems more like a merciful nationalist than a murderous betrayer)

etc. Are there any reputable sources that talk about this yet? What are your thoughts?

This may be true. However, I cannot find any reliabe source to back this up. It is better for us not to include the information into the article. AdrianGamer (talk) 16:35, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I can't speak to all these points, but this seems like a stretch to me. Buddhism was barely known in China at the time of the Three Kingdoms, and to the extent that it was, it was considered an Indian form of Taoism. Buddhism as a recognized intellectual and religious tradition in its own right wasn't really established until centuries later.

As for Cao Cao, portraying him as a sympathetic and complex character is in line with many modern portrayals. I think this has more to do with how modern readers intepret the text than any kind of agenda. --2A00:23C6:CC00:7D00:983C:86D3:78D8:8674 (talk) 20:38, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
