Are you a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community? Well, it certainly seems China isn’t. This article is authored in order to provide details in relation to the recent and controversial news. Today, we will have our focus built on China banning Video Games with the representation of gay relationships and Moral Choices. It is to be understood that China will reportedly put a ban on video games that do not encourage “correct values” and “accurate understanding” of the country’s history and culture. This is what a leaked internal document has to say. This includes a ban on any alleged depiction of “effeminate males.” As to what the country understands, it must refrain from the portrayal or promotion of same-sex relationships as well as the showing of characters that have no “clear gender.”

The leaked article arises from a recent training session that was organized by China’s state-backed gaming association. This association also went on to address the capital’s new strategies in order to normalize the industry while instructing and guiding its game developers on how to create content that is given approval for deal striking in the future.
The document was looked over by the South China Morning Post and checked for confirmation by several people acquainted with the above situation. The memo read ‘If regulators can’t tell the character’s gender immediately, the setting of the characters could be considered problematic and red flags will be raised. A video game must be able to provide not just pure entertainment but also convey a correct set of values.
Apparently, the memo also suggests that regulators could read between the lines of the games that boost players to put an end to “barbarians” as spreading “colonialism”. On the other hand, games bringing forward Japanese warlords could be perceived as glorifying “militarism” and “jingoism.” Video game plots should not have or highlight blurred moral boundaries. In addition to that, players must not be given a choice of being good or bad. This has an impact on their moral selections.
