In the conspiracy theories groups China is a hot topic, and I believe this is them telling influencers (who they give a free copy) to stick to the game instead of talking about the country they happen to live in. And I would assume if people stuck to the game few of these topics would be relevant.

Now if an influencer had an issue with say, allegations misogyny at the studio, I would expect them to -

  1. not accept the game from the studio

  2. maybe create content on why they refused the offer of a free game and things they think would need to change to allow them to work with the studio in the future.

You would have thought that by now they would have realized that explicitly banning people from talking about a subject is basically a method to guarantee that they do.
