A recent Chinese FMV game has become a focal point for online discussions regarding gender dynamics in the country. Titled Revenge on Gold Diggers, the game allows players to assume the role of Wu Yulun, who seeks vengeance against manipulative women known as gold diggers.

The gameplay opens with shocking headlines about men losing massive sums to these scammers. This portrayal has sparked a heated debate about misogyny and exploitation, with critiques labeling it as a narrative that unfairly vilifies women while painting men as innocent victims.

The game’s launch has seen it quickly rise among Steam’s top sellers, provoking strong reactions across various social media platforms. The backlash included the director, Mark Wu, being banned from social media for his controversial themes.

As discussions unfold, some argue that the game could lead to an increase in hostility between genders rather than addressing the issue of scams as its creators intended.
