It’s not uncommon for Weibo to have banned characters, but what if the banned characters are the character names? Just after China included the word “Cui” as a banned word on Weibo, the first game to be shot was “Idol Dream Festival 2”. One of the characters, Gao Fengcui, became the victim of this banned word.
According to the “Idol Dream Festival 2” official announcement on Weibo, Gao Fengcui’s Cui character not only disappeared, but also replaced with Japanese Roman pinyin, allowing the original character name to be presented in Chinese with English.
As a result, the original “Gaofeng Cui” was changed abruptly to “High Peak Midori”.
After all, no one would have thought that a good character name would suddenly be affected by current events. Not only did the official find a way to make the original character name appear in English pinyin, but also to reassure players to avoid extraneous branches.
The sudden banning of characters like this is probably unexpected for game manufacturers.
