[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9358419, member: 6802378"] We have to be polite, respectul and those things, but we aren't helping very much if we are creating a "pink legend" and showing some people better than really they are, with their lights and shadows, virtues and flaws. Even when the best intentions you could face serious troubles because some misunderstanding. For example a story uses as source of inspiration the Taiping rebellion, caused by a "crazy preacher". This story is written to be a warning against "false prophets with sheep's clothing". OK, some time other person creates a second story, maybe a fan-art sequel of the previous, and here the troubles start, because this can be a satire against the Mao's cultural revolution, or somebody understand this. My fear is something could totally right for Taiwan, but in continental China the goverment censorship said other thing. * For D&D standards, wuxia+xianxia main characters are "overpowered". They are practically superheroes. And D&D is not about becoming stronger but using the brain to survive and fixing troubles with right social skills when it is possible. Usually literature is about the main hero against the big bad guy, but in TTRPGs there are lots of different factions and possible enemies. * If Dragon Ball is inspired in Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, wouldn't be it cultural apropiation?
