For example a Taiwanese publishes in DMGuild a jianhu D&D adventure about an invasion by the formians. We can think it has been written with the maximal respect for the Chinese culture, because this author is from Taiwan, but.... there is a phone ring to WotC because somebody feels "offended" formians as antagonists. How, why? Easy, the formians from this adventures could be.. an allegory about an army of a nation from our real life. You can understand what I mean, can't you?Or somebody writtes a story about somebody with noble birth who is killed in a palace intrigue and then she is reincarnated into a korokoburu, and in her new life she only wants to farm and enjoy her family. It could sounds totally innocent, but really it is a hidden satire against the classist/elitist modern society and its social darwinism where the elites are only toxic predators, not true leaders.Other point is we are in 2024 and it is totally from 80's. We are in the age of internet, and now the soft power by Asian nations work in other way. You can read webcomics and webnovels, or play videogames. [MEDIA=youtube]1ZtwOGN-ZeE[/MEDIA][MEDIA=youtube]t-ffvgFXRkI[/MEDIA]Or the cultural differences nobody realises. For example we are used in our Western culture the confrotation between different members of the team, and here we learn to use social skills to reach an agreement and find a solution, but in other places the main goal is the "harmony" and then when the boss orders, everybody obeys, because nobody wants discord in the team. * We shouldn't be too surprised if somebody creates a mash-up mixing Kara-Tur and "(Adventures in) Rokugan/Legend of the Five Rings" or even this published as 3PP in D&D Beyond (but the "new" classes may cause a lot of work).</blockquote>
