Mmm fair. I'm just not really going to fight someone too much if they do genuinely see it as racist or a depiction that just shouldn't be in at all. Like, I get it, I get that argument, I just think this particular one feels incredibly mild and somewhat well contextualised.
It feels a bit like this author wanted lots of stuff about Kowloon and its history to be in the game but it wasn't so it was a disappointment to them that it was only a visual inspiration and not the actual real Kowloon. This disappointment feels like it coloured their whole perspective.
I went in without any expectations and without really knowing the devs had named their site "hk-devblog" before the game was named "Stray" so I didn't even relate it to hk at first. I am guessing that it disappointed a bunch of people that it wasn't actually hk.
