But WotC as professional publisher takes care a lot to avoid this. Any stereotypes? maybe, but they are even in the own Asian productions, for example Kung-Fu Hustle, a affectionate parody of the martial arts movies.In my opinion most likely to occur will be Hasbro creating a new IP, for videogame or a production for some OTT media service, and later this franchise to be adapted into D&D world. Other option could be buying more IPs created by other companies, like Power Rangers by Saban or Glitter Force by Toei.Not only fandom from Japan, China and Korea may have different points of view. Even second cousins sharing the same family roots but living in Beijing, Hong-Kong, Taipei and Chinatwon (San Francisco) also could have got different points of view of ones' own.Other challenge for the Chinese market isn't only about the censure to show pictures of undeads and skeletons, but also because they aren't too respecful about the copyright and trademarks, (for example the piracy fake books  “Harry Potter and the Hiking Dragon,” “Harry Potter and the Chinese Empire,” “Harry Potter and the Young Heroes,” “Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon,” and “Harry Potter and the Big Funnel.”).Here everybody agrees about to be respeful with the Asian community, and Hasbro is the first because it risks its own money and prestige. But we shouldn't bann all linked with speculative fiction inspired in no-Western culture. This should be showed as offering keys other cultures to be known better in the Western society. And it would be ridiculous if WotC doesn't dare to give that step but other Western publisher does before.* <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/97637/Legends-of-the-Wulin--presales-edition" target="_blank">Legend of Wulin</a>/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Gods_(role-playing_game)" target="_blank">Weapon of the Gods</a> is a Wuxia RPG by Western publisher (Eos Press). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_Shui_(role-playing_game)" target="_blank">Feng Sui is a Urban Wuxia RPG by a other Company</a>.  We shouldn't ban Western publishers to create wuxia. Even a <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Septi%C3%A8me_Cercle" target="_blank">French publisher, Le Septième Cercle</a> dared to publish <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/238822/Kuro-english" target="_blank">Kuro (sci-fi + urban fantasy in a modern Japan)</a> and <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/239532/Qin-The-Warring-states?manufacturers_id=130" target="_blank">Qin – the warring states</a>.* Marinette Dupain-Cheng is half-French/half-Chinse main female characters of Prodigious: the adventures of ladybug, a popular French cartoon. If she practices meditation with her mother, is this a racist stereotype?* The xianxia as genre isn't my cup of tea because it's more about how to become more powerful and not how become become better person. A good title should can show us the differences between good leaders and toxic bosses. D&D is more about interaction with allies and enemies.[MEDIA=youtube]045Kwm1u898[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
