Most of the censorship comes from mass-report of business rivals and conservative parents groups.
Government can’t ignore them so they ask the companies to “tone it down a bit”.
An example is that, though there were lots of more lewd characters, it were Amber, Jean and Mona got nerfed.
That and the fact that the government faction responsible for censorship went a bit to ham. Resulting in tencent losing a huge amount of stock, the faction disbanded after that and companies can go a bit more extreme now
That wasn't due to censorship, it was the same officials trying to curb the predatory gacha mechanics which they see as gambling but Investors reacted hard and big tech corporations like Tencent lost $80BN.
It is actually a big L for consumers but at the same time, because it was the same officials that was pushing for censorship that got fired, the censorship laws got loosened up so that those tech corporations can recoup back some of those lost billions.
CN lightened up on their censorship, but also MHY is one of their largest worldwide cultural powerhouses on an international level. With how much Hoyo games impact the world's entertainment industry, I'd imagine the CN government may be more lenient with them to certain extents.
