[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8076935, member: 6802378"] We know OA was a [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CultureChopSuey']cultural chop suey[/URL] of Asian cultures, but D&D also does the same one with the European cultures, and you see stories with monsters from different folklores and mythologies (Nordic, Irish, Greek). It was not a wrong step, but only incomplete, the first one. People and societies are changing. For example Apu in the Simpsons isn't tolerated any more because he is not politically correct. Do you remember the old movies of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Gang']"our gang/the litle rascal"[/URL]? The first show where white and blackamerican children were together as equals, but today any people don't like any racial esteotypes. * My suggestion is to offer some "pieces" , publish in the open licence races and monsters based in the Asian cultures, and then the own Asian authors will use this OA mythology to publish their own stories, for example Korean webtoons. Hasbro should talk with Toei Animation, Tecent (a Chinese company) and NCSoft (S-Korea) as cultural consultants. * Japanese cultural influence by speculative fiction (manga+anime) is stonger because they have been producing anime for decades ago. Only now we start to know Chinese and Korean speculative fiction. If they want to make money in the Western market they will need some piece of diplomatic skills * My fear is the fiction could be used by the Asian authors to show stereotypes against their own neighbour countries.
