Chinese media has a weird ban on Winnie-the-Pooh, mainly because some Chinese netizens have trolled President Xi Jinping online with comparisons to the character. This actually has ramifications for Kingdom Hearts 3, which only two weeks ago confirmed Pooh Bear was joining the game.

As noticed earlier this week, some coverage of the game in China comically put a bright white burst over Pooh, the way skin magazines used to censor their more explicit parts. (I’m only speaking hypothetically; I’ve never seen such a magazine in my life.)
