@matrix @orekix what’s that game

@fluffy @orekix Some horror game the Chinese government doesn't like

@matrix @fluffy @orekix that sucks. gotta reclaim the game

@fluffy @matrix @orekix Taiwanese game that had an Easter egg comparing Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh, which resulted in massive backlash from China, and led to it being taken off Steam a few years ago

@galena @matrix @orekix almost as if people don’t like having the guy who represents their nation mocked

imagine mocking john paul ii in poland

@fluffy @galena @matrix @orekix

>laughs in American

@fluffy @matrix @orekix I'm Canadian, mocking the absolute laughingstock we have in power is a beloved international pastime, quite possibly the only thing every single nation in the world can agree upon

@galena @matrix @orekix dunno, if your country went from a backwater rural shithole to the most powerful nation on earth with the highest home ownership, best policing, and fastest growing industry under one guy’s leadership you’d probably not hate him the way people in western nations hate their leadership, which has largely been a failure

After all, trumpers get mad when you mock trump, and obama fans get mad when you mock obama, surely you can see how it’s not too unusual if the guy is highly popular.

@pernia

@matrix what is devotion? is it a tiannamen square game?

@pernia Some horror game

@matrix @pernia

I'll go ahead and post what I just posted elsewhere. Remember the Vtuber thing where Coco and someone else showed Youtube Analytics data that had Taiwan has a country and it created a shitshow?

"What's ironic about the Vtuber thing is that they completely destroyed the company presence in China and absolutely fucked themselves over. The CCP brainwashed idiots truly did not think that their actions would have bad consequences for everyone involved and that's exactly one of the many reasons as to why China is dangerous to your entertainment as the rando idiots most definitively = The CCP. When it comes to shitshows like these where the company will most definitively have to choose one consequence, and China being a massive freaking market means that YOU will most likely lose something if a clash happens as they'll have to bow down to China and their demands

We were just lucky that the Chinese Vtubers the company had apparently weren't very popular and the company just decided it wasn't worth the shitshow and stopped business there. No, really, we were very lucky it didn't end worse than that"

This is why CCP China is a threat to your entertainment (and much, much more. It seems like the US might very well have a massive reckoning about that very soon)

@coolboymew @matrix @pernia the problem is that criticism to these practices lasts a couple of days and then everyone forgets about it

@hideki @matrix @pernia because you have no fucking choice pretty much

The vast majority of people don't give a single shit and are vastly uninformed on the matter

A lot of people criticized Trump for targeting Tik Tok and stuff that are part Tencent owned when it's 100% the right move. The problem right now is that a lot of it is currently obstructed by "orange man bad"

There is literally nothing you can do until a higher power actually starts blocking the bullshit, which all hope will be lost for quite a few years if Biden gets in most likely
