What’s funny about these ad threads is you can instantly kill them by pointing out how ZZZ is actually a savage takedown of the CCP and the evil Chinese government. Now I wonder why that is? Keep your stupid fucking gacha slop off of our board.

Note that this is explicitly on topic because it relates to ZZZ.


The game’s entire world is built on a single, cynical political metaphor: the "Hollows" versus New Eridu.

The "Hollows" are the masterstroke of this satire. The game presents them as a mysterious, reality-erasing natural disaster, the ultimate external threat. This is the state's "official narrative" for its own manufactured bogeyman. In this satirical reading, the Hollows are not a disaster; they are history. They are the "outside world," the Great Firewall made manifest, a terrifying void of uncensored information and, most dangerously, "un-harmonized" memory. They are the physical, monstrous manifestation of the state's power to suppress (鎮壓) and erase.

What, for instance, was the Anti-Rightist Struggle (反右派鬥爭)? A "Hollow emergence" that "corrupted" intellectuals. The Great Leap Forward (大躍進政策)? A catastrophic "Hollow distortion" that is now "too dangerous" to study. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (文化大革命)? A city-sized, decade-long "Hollow event" whose true nature is now hopelessly "warped." And the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 (六四天安門事件)? That was a localized "Hollow breach," its events, its images, and its victims not just censored, but "subsumed" into the void. The state’s official position is not one of denial, but of "safety": "To investigate the Tiananmen Square Massacre (天安門大屠殺) is to risk being consumed by the Hollow. We have 'protected' you from this." It is the ultimate suppression (壓制) of history, recasting erasure as an act of public good.

This "Hollow" of uncensored reality is not just in the past. It is the ever-present "outside." This void is teeming with the "dangerous" ideas that threaten the "harmony" of the state. It is the "West," with its chaotic, monstrous concepts of a multi-party system (多黨制) and democratization (民運). It is the "separatist" movements, cast as "Hollow corruptions" that must be "purified." In the state narrative of New Eridu, Taiwan (臺灣) is a "renegade island" that has foolishly "severed" itself from civilization and is now slowly being "consumed" by the "Hollow." Tibet (西藏) is a mystical, high-altitude "Hollow" ruled by a chief "Ethereal," the Dalai Lama (達賴喇嘛). The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (新疆維吾爾自治區) is a "quarantine zone" where the "Hollow corruption" runs so deep that only the most extreme "pacification" measures can maintain "stability."

And what of New Eridu, the game's "last bastion of civilization"? It is the shining promise of "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" writ large. It is a "Special Economic Zone" that has become the entire world, a hyper-modern, clean, safe, and materially bountiful metropolis. It is the ultimate gilded cage. Its citizens enjoy this prosperity by accepting the state’s core bargain: total obedience in exchange for total "safety." The city is a physical monument to the concept of unity (統一), a "harmonious society" achieved through an unseen, omnipresent system of surveillance (監視). In New Eridu, there is no freedom (自由) of speech or thought, because such concepts are "Ethereals"—the monsters that cause the "Hollows." The city runs on a single, unquestioned "truth." It is, in its polished, high-tech, and comfortable way, a total dictatorship (獨裁).
