Recently, an 'Otome-only' (a genre of dating sims targeting women) convention in Chongqing has stirred controversy within the ACG community. Netizens discovered that the event organizers used character art stolen from the game 'Alchemy Stars' for their promotional materials.
The community reacted swiftly to this theft. Players mocked the organizers for being willing to host an event for profit but unwilling to pay for legitimate art. It was noted with irony that the stolen assets came from a game owned by Tencent (the same parent company as many domestic Otome titles), leading to jokes about 'corporate self-cannibalism.' Moreover, the event's exclusionary 'women-only' entry policy further fueled criticism, sparking heated debates regarding the behaviors of extremist fans within the Otome community (often referred to as 'Guo Yi Jie' in Chinese internet slang).
Clarifications in the comments revealed that the event was a private initiative using a ticketing platform merely as a sales channel. Observers dismissed the event as a 'performance art piece,' expressing disbelief that an event specifically branded for Otome fans would so blatantly steal assets from a completely different genre of game.
