Today, while watching the news, I saw that China’s reactionary pornographic game “Honkai: Star Rail” (hereafter referred to as “Honkai”) introduced a new character called “Dahlia,” which is actually based on the unsolved murder case of American actress Elizabeth Short in the 1950s, known as the “Black Dahlia” case. Moreover, all the details subtly hint at the victim’s death scene, which is extremely reactionary! This also clearly exposes the true nature of these pornographic games, which use materials of oppression and insult towards women in reality, embellishing them with大量的色情元素 (a large amount of pornographic elements), serving a seriously pornographic ideology in society, completely ignoring women’s lives, and indulging reactionary male chauvinists who seek pleasure at women’s expense, poisoning the youth of society. I am not familiar with “Honkai: Star Rail” or miHoYo, so I don’t know if there are similar incidents. However, I believe these reactionary game companies definitely harbor a lot of insults towards women.
On January 15, 1947, the dismembered body of Elizabeth Short was found on an empty lot in the 3800 block of South Norton Avenue, southwest Los Angeles. Short’s death was extremely tragic; she was brutally tortured and beaten before her death, her lips were slit to her ears, forming a horrifying clown-like smile; her body was cut in half at the waist; her organs were removed, especially from the lower body; the body was washed to almost bloodless, and her internal blood was completely drained. The body was washed both inside and out, so no semen or other bodily fluids could be found. The mouth was stuffed with wax, her right breast was almost cut off, and many other wounds were jagged cuts, with several cigarette burns. The upper body organs were stuffed into the chest cavity; an autopsy showed no partially digested food in her stomach, but some residues indicated she had swallowed or was forced to swallow feces. There were multiple bruises and fractures on her arms, several finger bones were broken, most of her red nail polish had peeled off, some nails were pulled out, and there were binding scars on her wrists. There were hanging marks on her ankles. Her intestines and other organs were rinsed and placed into her abdominal cavity, and there was a wound similar to a hysterectomy, indicating her uterus was removed. From the tragic state of the victim and the severe destruction or loss of her genital organs, it is clear that this was an extremely reactionary murder targeting women. Yet, shamelessly, the pornographic game “Honkai” openly released a new character implying this murder of women, adding大量的色情元素 (a large amount of pornographic elements), which proves that the production company doesn’t care at all about this brutal murder case. I believe all conscientious small bourgeoisie will oppose and resist such reactionary games that insult women.
Below are the implied hints about the game character “Dahlia” (excerpted from the news):
- The name is almost identical to the case name (the most obvious evidence).
- The character animation contains candle elements, with wax stuffed into the victim’s mouth, possibly used to stop bleeding.
- The skill animation shows hanging, with multiple binding marks on the victim’s body, indicating she was hanged before death.
- The character’s weapon is a steel nail on the right hand, corresponding to the victim’s nails being pulled out.
- One of the skill animations involves a tail fire sweeping the chest, with obvious burn marks on the chest clothing, and the victim’s chest was cut off with cigarette burns.
Everyone is welcome to discuss.
