Recently, players noticed that official announcements for the new character 'Wanyan Lie' in the mobile game *Archaic Sword* were wiped from both WeChat and Bilibili. Given the character's background as a brutal Jurchen prince, community speculation suggests the character was pulled due to a wave of mass reports regarding historical sensitivity.
Community discussion highlights that the character may have been inspired by historical Jurchen leaders like Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wuzhu). Many users mocked the situation, questioning if such extreme report culture would effectively 'purify' classic martial arts novels like those by Jin Yong. The consensus among some fans is that using Chinese historical figures as villains is now effectively 'playing with fire'.
Following the brief controversy, the developer quickly issued a 'rebranded' version. The character, now renamed and with the controversial headgear removed, has returned to the game. Players commented that this outcome was predictable, noting that sticking to high-fantasy settings is much 'safer' than trying to adapt actual Chinese history in the current climate.
