Let me say something: this sea lion is clearly a Chinese element, yet there are always some foreign players coming into the community insisting on giving it a fancy foreign name. This is really baffling—why turn a perfectly good local IP into something imported? Isn't the essence of meme culture about authenticity? Forcing a name change like this just doesn't make sense to me. I hope the project team can respect the cultural origins and not try to internationalize everything.

This sea lion thing is really unbelievable. Why do we have to make it so Westernized? We've changed our own cultural symbols beyond recognition.

Haha, seriously, forcefully changing the name is really outrageous—the original vibe is completely gone.

That's true, but let's not make a big deal out of it. Meme culture is all about everyone getting what they need.
