    I was wondering what “feminist propaganda” was and apparently it’s talking about misogyny.

    Another forbidden topic seemed to be targeted at criticism of misogyny at Game Science.

Those original job postings and comments were deleted, and the company has not commented. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/20/world/asia/chinese-videogame-wukong-censorship.html

    But this anti feminism attitude is not limited to this 1 gaming company, but government policy under Xi Jinping’s authoritarian rule: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-08/feminism-in-china-internet-crackdown-erase-womens-voices/100165360
