Why you shouldn’t support the upcoming game Black Myth: Wukong

Simply put, the creators behind Black Myth: Wukong are raging misogynists.

Founders and creatives of the studio have:

Joked about former female employees hypothetically doing prostitution

Used suggestive/objectifying/derogatory imagery & phrasing in their hiring flyers (under the cut), e.g. “In addition to hookup buddies, we promise to provide more thoughtful services” , “fatties fuck off”, etc.

Written entire think pieces on how video games don’t need female players or developers, how women are biologically inclined towards “softer” modes of gaming than men (there’s also a bit of homophobia mixed in through language such as “fuck sissies”), how some things should just be made for men, etc. “Fuck sissies, fuck tragic love stories, fuck moon-lit peach blossoms and flute-playing scholars! You don't need the reverse motivation of female players, you don't need to take care of those worms who just want to date chicks. Some things are just for men, their depression, their anger, their pain...”

Made numerous sexually explicit (& honestly incel-like) comments including ones about a female character in Black Myth: Wukong, e.g. “once you get used to this [character design] you can jerk off to it”, etc.

Boasted about how they’re losing followers, who must be women

To no one’s surprise, when people criticise the studio online, they’re met with vitriol about how they’re hypersensitive feminists, too politically correct, etc.

Chinese women have been YELLING non-stop on social media about how bad it is so it’s pretty depressing to see that a lot of non-Chinese gamers, even after reading an IGN article covering the situation, are apathetic. I get that a lot of people are excited about the novelty of a soulslike game based on Chinese mythology, but do you really want to support a studio that actively contributes towards and benefits from misogynistic gaming culture?

Talking about separating the artist from their art is bullshit if you're financially supporting them. Boycott! Pirate!

Here are some sources if you want to see detailed translations, learn more about the situation as well as the misogynistic gaming culture at large China:

人是贪 - Humans are greedy. Chapter 3 Yellow Brow's words to Tang Sanzang echoes in my mind when I rewatched chapter 1's ending animation.

My interpretation of Wukong's expression when he watched Elder Jinchi's temple burn from afar whilst Tang Sanzang is protected by their fireproof mantle.

Yandere batch!!!! Woo!!!

Used old Sun as a muscle study and did pretty well, so, won't you come to his embrace? He's been working hard to keep in shape 🥺

The other artwork is Yandere! D.O and poor, poor Yuánhóu in an alt AU where she didn't chose the path of the warrior and ended up being his bride

First actual comic strip uwu

Context: When past Yù and her father needed sanctuary, wukong took them to ffm and basically started doing courtnapping habits like gifting, scent marking and nesting to yù without realizing. Marshall Ma ,who’s grown fond of Yù as a friend, cannot believe this idiot

The background characters were mostly baby monkeys but there are some im adding to the storyas side characters:

The guide( cloak dude oc)

Granny gibbon ( the old monkey carrying a fruit oc)

And Rinrin ( from saiyuki, shes the mother monkey in the back)

Xinyi (the baby monkey on rinrin’s back, marshall Liu is also her dad)

Question… does Sun Wukong/and or The Destined One have a knot?? 👀

………. like a breeding knot.. 🫣

Or do they just have a general Mating cycle, where all they can think about is how badly they want to be with their Lover~ to the point of near painful Desperation.

NSFW 18+ only

please, if you're not comfortable just get lost okay?!

I'm so sorry, my furry lovers, but... but... THEY DO NOT!

Breeding knots are usually present in animals as canines (be aware of those wolves, my dudes), so yes, mating cycle it is!

Destined one: this poor young one...he just cared for you enough to know how deptavable this thing could be, and yet his mind and body betrayed him to the point that he had to hide from you. He had seen how his other brothers reacted; he knew that the olders had been dragged away by his sisters to just do what they were supposed to do, but humans do not act like that.

They don't have a mating cycle; they do things differently! And you have to be, ah, so touching. His ears can hear every small sound you can make, his nose starts to perceive every smell that a single cell of your body could do, and so his body reacts. He has to excuse himself various times, and every time he has to take care of things on his own, he is well aware that your presence will cause something soon again.

His mind too plays tricks; sometimes he just stares, imagining how you could taste in his mouth that deeply he just wants to fill you and see you swollen with his cum. In the night, his mind wonders, imitating you sleeping from riding him, whispering sweet nothingless in his ears, and he just obliges every desire and fantasy that you and himself could have.

Sun Wukong: ah! Do you think that he would just stay there and suffer? NOPE. 

If you're already together or not, he'll come clean, telling you everything and asking you what you want to do. He may have made havoc in heaven, but consent is gold. 

If you say yes, be ready. 

He doesn't stop; he doesn't take a rest. He'll take you somewhere private, and oh boy, be ready; you won't leave that place until he's satisfied. He'll make sure that not one drop goes to waste; he'll fill you up again and again; he'll make you experience every possible fantasy that your little mind can produce. And every time he'll just laugh, asking what kind of thing he had done to get someone as perfect as you.

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (10/28/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

First Meeting!

Essentially how Birdie and Wukong's first meeting went 🤭 During the great sage's drunken rampage in the heavens, he came across a voice that sang a lone song that lead to a far off palace, he curiously went inside and saw her in her cage. "Hello, pretty bird.." (I was gonna do a piece for their first meeting but this meme format was too perfect not to- I will have that piece finished soon hopefullyy)

Some asshole stole my article

Someone eager to jump on the Black Myth: Wukong train at Digital Artists League (a.k.a. Artizen) reposted my 2013 summary of Journey to the West without permission. And then they got mad at me when I made them take it down.

It just dawned on me that their website is likely monetized, so they would have made money off of my hard work. And they had the audacity to try to gaslight me.

I have to seriously ask where they get the majority of their content if they think stealing is OK.

This is a screenshot of the stolen article on their website before it was taken down.

And here are screenshots of our conversation. I really enjoyed watching their mini-meltdown towards the end.
