Harry Potter: Magic Awakened developer NetEase has apologized to players over a supposed bug that caused female player characters to make an “ahegao” face when attacked by a magic spell. For readers unfamiliar with that term, an “ahegao” face is associated with orgasms in certain manga, anime, and video games. The expression includes exaggerated features with the tongue sticking out, redness in the face, and eyes rolling. Naturally, players took issue with this, particularly since the expression only appears on the female characters and not the male characters. According to Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners, NetEase “compensated players with free in game items and currency.”
