Seeking Tea: What Happened to 'Uma Musume' on Bilibili? The Truth Behind the 'Horse Removal' Rumors

Recently, a player posted on the forums asking why 'Uma Musume' could no longer be found in the Bilibili game store, accompanied by a screenshot of the search results.

The community reacted with various theories. Rumors circulated that the game was undergoing 'localization' to pass official censorship, which allegedly involved removing horse-like features (ears and tails) without the developer Cygames' consent. However, this claim was quickly debunked by veteran users, who pointed out that these edited models were likely created by content creators for clout, rather than being official game assets. They noted that modifying 3D models of this quality is a complex task and that such rumors lack concrete evidence.

The discussion continued, with many users pointing out that simply removing animal ears is inconsistent with how other games are currently regulated. Ultimately, the consensus shifted toward treating these claims as baseless rumors and 'clickbait' from certain content creators, urging others to be skeptical.
