Skellingtons in Heavensward

[Tagihi]

wait im confused why dont china like skeleton mobs exactly?? O.O

Its not about they don't like it, but "death" and any representation of it are much more taboo subjects in Chinese culture than in the West.
Sounds abit stupid to us at west. So its just a simpel respect of the chinese culture.
Then again i doubt they watching every singel person i china what they doing, I mean they can play this game from west still have same opportunity as we do.
But they will have english instead of chinese translation.

Jimbo has the right of it. There's a lot of pre-emptive censoring for the market (they essentially have a different game). Movies are changed for Chinese markets all the time. World War Z is a prime example of this between the movie and the book.

Not at all. Death is part of Chinese folklore like any other culture. Zombies, or the Chinese variant, is a popular subject for movies and stories. Skeletons are less frequent but can be seen in contemporary works, although it mostly is seen only in western fantasy works. Chinese folklore, for instance, says that when we die, we are escorted by hellish pawns to the king of hell, who will then judge us for our sins, then either send us to heaven or sentence us to suffer in hell.

The modern Chinese censorship in China is just due to the country being basically a dictatorship with old, old, old people having the say in absolutely everything. It has nothing to do with Chinese culture. Even Chinese gamers find the censorship full of bullshit and those that can, use VPNs to play the real versions overseas.
