The " Mount and Blade " series of games is famous among war game enthusiasts, and "Mount and Blade II" was once called the Lifetime series and is highly anticipated by players. However, when the author recently played "Qiu Blade 2", he found that it was filled with a lot of elements that insulted China, which made people feel very angry. Check out a few images of the game below.
Smart friends have already discovered it, yes, just "squint your eyes"! In the game, other Western factions are normal. Only the Lord Cuset NPC representing Asians has this feature, and it is not an isolated phenomenon, accounting for at least 89%.
In the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Chinese with pigtails were caught by Westerners and sold as "piglets" to the West to work as coolies. Westerners liked to grab the Chinese's pigtails from behind. The Chinese who were grabbed by their pigtails would have their eyes raised and their eyes narrowed into slits. Therefore, Westerners like to use squinting to insult Asians, especially Chinese. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in China. The model Nian Miyan and "Shang-Chi" incident that caused a lot of controversy some time ago is an example.
"Mount and Blade 2" has sold very well in China and has been widely praised by Chinese players. The praise rate on Steam exceeds 95%. However, the author never thought of these private goods hidden in it. Such a characteristic and high proportion of squinting elements cannot be an accident, it is definitely intentional by the game company. This kind of thing of making money from the Chinese while humiliating the Chinese is really outrageous. I also hope that the majority of horse-and-blade players will know about this and join in a fight to boycott the game company’s insulting behavior toward China.
