[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

LV did not become hated in China because it won an intellectual property lawsuit.

Foreign companies have sued Chinese companies before.
Chinese consumers understand trademark protection.
They understand intellectual property.

But this case crossed a different line.

LV did not merely protect a brand.

It exposed a much uglier logic:

take ancient Chinese motifs,
register them as private property,
turn civilizational memory into corporate assets,
then sue Chinese companies for touching patterns rooted in their own cultural soil.

That is why Chinese people are furious.

LV has registered 45 Chinese-style ancient patterns.
Patterns that came from Chinese decorative traditions.
Patterns that appear in Tang-era art, Dunhuang murals, Suzhou garden windows, Fujian floor tiles, and everyday Chinese aesthetics.

And now a French luxury house acts as if these symbols belong to Paris.

This is not ordinary trademark protection.
This is cultural occupation through paperwork.

Ancient people did not have trademark offices.
They could not file applications.
They could not defend their heritage in modern courts.

That does not mean dead civilizations are free for corporations to loot.

If this logic stands, anyone could repackage Hanfu patterns, Terracotta Warrior imagery, Dunhuang murals, Buddhist motifs, or even classical works like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, register them, and then tell Chinese people they no longer have the right to use their own cultural inheritance.

That is absurd.
That is dangerous.

And that is why LV won the lawsuit but lost China’s face.

The tea brand used a jasmine flower because it sells jasmine tea.
The cultural soil is Chinese.
The public emotion is Chinese.
The backlash is Chinese.

On the day the ruling came out, Molly Tea gained massive public support because Chinese consumers understood exactly what this was:
not a French brand protecting creativity,
but a Western luxury house privatizing Chinese heritage and biting the people whose civilization made the pattern possible.

Even more humiliating for LV:

while Molly Tea was facing millions in damages, its home region was hit by floods, and the company donated 1 million yuan for disaster relief.

So the contrast became clear.

One side took from Chinese culture and sued.
The other side bled money and still gave back to Chinese people.

LV may have won US$1.5 million.
But it reminded 1.4 billion people what Western luxury often means:

steal civilization,
monopolize beauty,
sell it back as status,
then sue the original owner.

This has never been about luxury art design.
This is colonial property logic in designer packaging.

I have a new type and it's a 40+ year old thrice divorced half-orc warlord, who loves animals. Once again, @azureXtwilight delivered a hilarious & cute romance~

[Transparent Games - Saintess and My Wife is a Spy @TransparentGms]

We redid the CG with Celeste kissing Levi on the cheek from the "Saintess of the Golden Bow" Common Route/Demo to be more in the style of the game.

Here you can see the result :D It will be updated in the demo soon.
