@kyonshi The legislation asks for labelling on pornography, violence, and vulgarity and the restriction on including minors in games that include them.

What’s the problem here?

@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml actually not much as such, but one barely hears about roleplaying games in that part of the world, and to have it big enough to elicit a government response is interesting, don't you think?

You know that how?

@DerPapa69 because in my survey of English and German (and sometimes French and Polish) articles this topic in general doesnt come up. Sure there might be lots of articles written about it, but if they are all in Chinese I won't he able to find them.

(Same reason why a lot of roleplaying scenes are kind of a mystery. If something is written about only in one language it's not really easy to find it, even if translation apps exist)
