Gossip: Was the 'Wooden Donkey' incident in Food Fantasy malicious player-shaming?

Recently, a user started a thread revisiting a past controversy involving the game 'Food Fantasy'. The user alleged that the game developers once sent an extremely inappropriate 'wooden donkey' (a toy horse) furniture item to their female players, seemingly as a response to player protests against aggressive monetization tactics.

The item description read: 'A favorite wooden toy for children. Little ones linger on it, swaying back and forth with laughter.' However, players quickly pointed out that the 'wooden donkey' is notorious in history not just as a child's toy, but as an ancient torture device used to humiliate women. Given the game's core target audience is female, many interpreted this as a malicious act of mockery and misogynistic shaming.

The comment section was filled with users confirming the incident, describing the item as inherently disturbing. While some commenters clarified that the game is not strictly an 'Otome game' (a dating sim for women), the consensus remains that using such an object in a female-oriented game felt like a calculated insult, fueling long-standing frustration within the community.
