For example people from the country like megacities with high skycrappers because these are exotic, but people from the big cities would rather nature zones because these are "exotic" for their eyes, the rural regions aren't watched usually. Other example is Falcon Crest, a famous soap-opera from the 80's set in the Tuscany valley, dedicated to the production of wine. The show wasn't so popular in USA but it was in Europe because in our culture driking wine is normal. We have to adapt to the tastes of the different regions.Or some character could be a rip-off parody of some famous franchise. If the author is from the same nation then everyody has fun, but if it is from other country then somebody may feel offensive (it is like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer_Killer" target="_blank">that fantasy comedy Chinese movie where the antagonists are rip-off of marvel supeheroes in a challengue of "magic" soccer</a>). Other times the message may be misunderstanded. For example Jack Burton, played by Jack Russell in "Trouble in China" is almost a affectionate parody of the action-heroes. In the final confroctation against the boss he saves the day, but we know he is not the smartest character of the story, but relatively the dumbest. Jack Burton isn't promoting the "toxic masculinity" but paroding this. Son Goku, the main character of Dragon Ball, is a too freely version of the famous Chinese mythologic character Sun Wukong, the monkey king. Somebody could create the magical-girls/maho shojo version of famous mythologic male characters Somebody would accept those changes and other wouldn't. I would love a D&D version of East Asian fantasy but we should be very, very, very careful, because you don't notice but you discover somebody is angry by something. </blockquote>
