GamingCirclejerk is a satire sub. You're literally using "unironically" wrong. So you don't understand the post, the sub it's on, or the reality of the information. This is an awful post lmao
I think the irony bit is "politics in video games", pretty sure they believe the headline fully, whether it's actually true, partially true, or false (I don't know, don't jump me on this).
Yeah, and OP said they are unironically doing "they targeted gamers" which they are not. The sub is constantly making fun of that, like in the post, as you just said.
The top ones are not, and the only ones that are earnest are either asking questions or making pretty unassuming criticisms of the situation, not full-on propagandizing lol. The original source of the article in your link is also pretty pro-China so I don't know why you aren't just looking into things yourself
This thread is rapidly devolving, but SCMP is a privately owned HK newspaper and is not Chinese State Media or even (IIRC) really pro-China. It's owned by Alibaba.
Again, I don't know about this specific article's subject and I'm not saying anything about it in particular here.
It's literally owned by Alibaba, and western media is constantly whining about it being propaganda lmao. If your bar for "pro-china" is limited to exclusively state-owned media then sure, except it's about one step away anyways.
I don't base my conceptions of the world on Westerners because I'm not a fucking idiot. It's a Hong Kong-based newspaper that constantly posts anti-China shit. You don't live in reality.

Read the comments. They are direly earnest.

It's like you are not reading my comments.
I'm not replying to your comments, just the notion that SCMP is a pro-China paper. I thought it was a point worth making (more politely).
I'm specifically not getting involved in the overarching conversation here because it's a shit-show. Please continue the argument without me.
SCMP is not pro-China, Jesus Christ you people are fucking illiterate

Good thing Western media always complains about true things.
No, they don't

Cool, me either. That doesn't mean anything
Then why did you bring it up?
