It’s “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

In this case, it's about an astronomical event. The Muslim calendar also uses it.
Are red envelopes and Chinese zodiac animals also an astronomical event? You can't have it both ways. You can't copy Chinese New Year verbatim and then change it's name to remove it's specific Chinese character.
Looks like Steam is doing the same thing. This does feel just a little bit like the War on Christmas complaint, though.
Christians aren’t an oppressed minority group or subject of colonization. Christmas is as dominant as ever, it’s not under threat or being attacked in any serious way.
Also, the war on Christmas complaint would have validity if a bunch of people from another dominant culture were trying to take it over and rename it and strip it of everything specifics. Having a broad term “happy holidays” for polite conversation that covers multiple holidays (Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice) is fine and different than specifically taking Christmas and renaming it and doing a massive push everywhere to stop calling it Christmas.
These are fair points.
Yeah, fair enough. I haven't seen the celebration yet.
fuck off back to whatever hole you crawled out of you cultureless neoliberal drone.
Touché
The Islamic Calendar doesn't celebrate new years on the same date as Chinese New Years. How fucking stupid are you?
What's this rage really about?
