For context, this game got pulled cause it called Xi Winnie the Pooh, which is pretty silly but you can always count on gamers to make themselves look worse.
funnily enough the politician he killed was the only openly anti-us politician running lmao
objectively that was a pretty badass assassination. cunt move however
You do not have to hand it to him, you never have to hand it to him
I'm shocked that capitalist-lovers turn into Nazis when the market doesn't go their way
The argument I've seen is that gog is a publically traded company and their shareholders don't want them to lose access to the chinese market
lol the anime head is from a vtuber called coco. she and another vtuber got put on haitis for a bit apparently for acknowledging the existence of Taiwan and now every weeb who watches vtubers hates china now.
Its more stupid than that. Haachama and Coco were just looking at their youtube page that shows who is watching from where. Haachama pointed out there were a lot of people from Taiwan for some odd reason and the same thing happened to Coco. The speculation is that Chinese viewers of Hololive use it as their exit country for VPN so they can watch streams.
Makes sense. Damn shame g*mers and w**bs have co-opted one of the very few apolitical weebshit products out there from reactionary as fuck Japan.
To the gulag with the whole lot.
They didn't even get in trouble with any government body as far as I can tell, a bunch of extremely online Chinese chuds just made a giant mess online about it
The only thing that they got punished for was showing their stats which Cover Corp(Hololive's parent company) was saying were confidential. They had a big press release about it and everything. Sadly its one of the only reasons why I go to reddit any more. The /r/hololive sub is ran by Cover Corp so its the main way to get news.
Deep down, Americans are just mad that another country besides us and Israel can freely exert this kind of petty influence.
Sounds like someone needs more pinata Mussolinis to feel better about their children's game!
thats so stupid tbh. One Chinese website (that isnt even owned by the government) is frowned upon when comparing winnie the pooh to xi jinping and suddenly a bunch of redditors freak the fuck out. it very quickly becomes a racist dog whistle, so no shit china doesnt want it on their markets. It's so stupid, the bourgeois falling for their own propaganda.
I know, its wild seeing this meme that wasn't even used in China turn into some racist cold-war dogwhistle by a load of white r*dditors who dont even wipe their asses properly and buy broken as videogames on release because some tradcath polish daddies made it and didn't post it to epic games store >:(
isnt that photo from the assassination of a Japanese Socialist by a far-right student org member with a sword?
how fitting.
