[Honor of Kings] Skin Description Censorship: Does 'Glory' Not Belong to 'Otaku'?

Recently, Honor of Kings rolled out an update that quietly censored several skin descriptions. Attentive players noticed that terms like 'Otaku' (Si-zhai) had been removed, triggering a wave of discussion within the community.

The original poster questioned the logic behind this censorship. If the goal was to avoid the word 'death' (Si), why were other hero descriptions left untouched? This selective editing prompted users to mock the developer with the slang 'Si-zhai zhen e-xin' (Otaku are disgusting), suggesting the company holds a bias against the ACG (Anime, Comic, Game) demographic.

In the community discussion, many players attributed this to Tencent's excessive self-censorship. Critics argued that stripping the term 'Otaku' proves the developer doesn't understand the nuance of subculture. Some suggested that changing the phrase to 'Glory belongs to the tech-savvy' would have been a more clever approach. While some users argued that 'nobody pays attention to these details,' others countered that every player has different priorities, and these minor details often reflect the manufacturer's true attitude toward the game.
