Drama Alert: 'Reverse: 1999' New Character Sparks Controversy Over 'Street Art' and Hallucinogens

Recently, the 'Reverse: 1999' community has been buzzing over a new character named 'Diggers.' Players are criticizing the character's in-game narrative, where he poses as a 'street artist' but proceeds to spray hallucinogenic bubbles into crowds, causing public chaos and reactions that many players find deeply uncomfortable.

The core of the controversy is that players see this character as a direct reference to LSD culture—a taboo subject in China. Players have pointed out that the character's pursuit of 'art' and 'freedom' leads to antisocial behavior, such as blocking traffic and drugging civilians. The irony of the character's skill being named 'Peace' only adds to the community's frustration, with many labeling the design as absurd.

The community is now divided: some argue it’s a historically accurate representation of 20th-century hippie culture, while others view it as an offensive challenge to societal norms. With the developer, Bluepoch, already dealing with other public relations crises (such as the animal welfare association dispute), they appear to be ignoring this specific backlash, leading skeptical fans to wonder if the developers actually find this 'edgy' design humorous.
