Recently, Justice Online Mobile has been mired in controversy over a new mount labeled as a 'Wooden Horse.' In reality, the mount resembles a hobby-horse, which players argue should have been named a 'Wooden Donkey.'
By comparing it with existing horse and donkey assets in the game, it is clear the developers can easily distinguish the two species. Even in the carousel designs, the distinction is maintained, making the 'Wooden Horse' misnomer feel intentional.
The outrage stems from the fact that 'Wooden Donkey' (Mu Lu) carries dark connotations as an ancient torture device used against women in Chinese history. Players have drawn parallels to a previous incident in another game, *Food Fantasy* (*Shiwu Yu*), where controversial furniture designs were perceived as insulting to female players. Even if interpreted as a simple transport vehicle, the 'calling a donkey a horse' branding has deeply upset the community.
The community response is divided. Some critics argue this is a tactic for 'negative publicity' (marketing through infamy), while others suggest that such interpretations are paranoid. Regardless of intent, such design choices remain highly volatile in the current gaming landscape.
