More PC and control from the Chi-knees

Monster Hunter: World received 17 negative reviews on Steam on December 3rd. On December 4th, as of this writing, it's gotten 1,092. Scroll through them and you'll see a common thread: Knees.

"Good game, dirty racism movie," says one review, which sums up the cause of Monster Hunter: World's sudden review bomb. The Monster Hunter film adaptation directed by Paul WS Anderson premiered in China on December 3rd, and a joke from early in the film has since been gathering attention (and anger) across Chinese social media. One of the American soldiers in the film throws out the line "What kind of knees are these? Chi-knees."

OMG

How racist!

Jeesus, a dictatorship that wants to control everything, including our sports and movies.

On a global scale of things that matter, this does not even nudge the needle for me.

Could have been worse and the line could have referred in some way to 'eyes'

The joke somehow slipped through China's regulatory agencies before Monster Hunter's release

That poor man whose job it was to catch those things.

Probably will find himself regulated to a new job at some government owned rice paddy.
