Players have noticed that certain words and phrases are being flagged as inappropriate, even when they don’t contain any obvious offensive content. This has led to confusion and frustration among the community. Some of the phrases that have been censored include references to real-world locations and Disney characters.

For example, terms like “Winnie the Pooh,” “Free Taiwan,” “Free Tibet,” and “Free Hong Kong” have been flagged. Additionally, the game has flagged phrases related to the Tiananmen Square incident and the “Wuhan Virus”.

The Possible Reason Behind the Censorship

The primary reason for this censorship is believed to be compliance with Chinese government regulations. NetEase, the developer of Marvel Rivals, is a Chinese company. The Chinese government has strict control over the content produced by companies within its borders.

The censorship has led to mixed reactions from the player community. The politics behind the censored phrases are incredibly complicated. Some players are experiencing confusion about China’s history and CCP’s overall policies.

With Marvel Rivals continuing to grow in popularity as a hero shooter, the chat censorship has surely sparked a discourse around the game. As NetEase Games has no choice but to comply with the CCP’s policies and regulations, it seems like the censorship is here to stay for the time being.
