    Also it’s what Dragon Ball is based on and it’s a primary influence for most if not all Shonen anime.

    Its like getting upset when two different projects are made based on the Greek Pantheon.

        Look, it’s a funny and ironic turn of events and my comment mainly tried to expand upon why this evokes this emotional response from some people.

        Also, I don’t think most Americans identify with the shady practices of corporations either, so equating a undoubtedly shady history on copyright with the stance of all Chinese people everywhere is a bit… 🤔

        As others have mentioned it’s also not accidental that the outrage is at the Nintendo store specifically. There is a lot of bad blood between the Chinese and the Japanese.

          Chill, where did you get that I was ‘equating the stance of al chinese people’? Even the title mentions ‘China internet’… it’s like saying “France is in uproar at latest Macron speech”. I know it’s funny and ironic, that’s why I pointed out that they’re upset at the alleged copying of an non-original game concept about a myth that’s been already featured in a ton of other works.

            I am chill. :) No need for either of us to read spite into the others comments. Text is bad at communicating tone :)

            I guess my comment was meant more in general, not at you specifically (though I understand it being in a reply of course feels that way)

            I am sorry my comment came of as hostile or combative
