A Song Of Cyberpunk (The Jimquisition)

Oh CD Project Red
I'm glad instead of Cyberpunk
I started HRT instead

(But he also rips into China about censorship and Xi's insecurity, so I assume he's cancelled around these parts)

          They implicitly defend, and always have, the Winnie the Pooh thing which is an inherently racist insult.

            Ah yes, a meme of Chinese origin to parody their Chinese leader. "Racism", folks.

                  Definitely the same as white people comparing a cartoon character with yellow skin and thin eyes to a Chinese person.

                    You forgot to mention the no pants, because Chinese people are all sex pests. Also the no shoes (in the house). Pooh is also chunky, so it's fatphobia too. Hair? Is that a callout to Asians generally being less hairy?

                    That's four more for you.

              That's how you know it's an op. Same bullshit tactic to accuse someone of antisemitism the second they criticize Israel.

              This is a common talking point when you bring up Winnie the Pooh. They always deflect the conversation away from authoritarian censorship and surveillance to bigotry. Calling card of shills everywhere.

        They banned a bunch of paradox games, because they show Tibet as an independent country in eras where they were historically independent such as WWII.

      I mean, do you have an actual defense against the content of what he said, or is it just picking teams at this point?

        I don't see why anyone would support a clear racist dogwhistle regardless of country of origin/target, I feel it is not unreasonable to be offended here.

        It would be pretty racist if you started portraying every American as looking like Trump and I wouldn't be against banning/censoring that sort of content. To support this is to say it is ok to be racist if it is portrayed as "criticism" of people we don't like. What is next every German must be angry and have a mustache? What year is this 1950?

        But it seems Jim doesn't know this or doesn't care enough to think critically from a leftist perspective about this shitty racist meme. It seems freedom to be racist is very much acceptable on their book so what else should be said? Perhaps there is some projection going on and they think a meme about the leader of a nation with 1.4 billion people is some very valid and constructive criticism that must be protected? Either way that "speech" has consequence is something even a child should know. I wont cancel for that because I don't watch the content for the shitty political takes. The content is just entertaining and it is important to have that anti-corporation voice.

        The "poor" devs? Sorry nobody is entitled to a business. Their opportunistic intent was very clear. I feel bad for the workers who may be having a tough time. But the company and that game can go fuck themselves.

        What about the Chinese netizens? IMO no they should stop caring so much about what others think specially westerners and their racist memes.

            I could be wrong but imo most are not foreigners though so racism isn't implied imo, kind of like black people using the n word.

            And full disclosure I am not American either so I avoid going that far in general.

              Most people here joke about how they want China to nuke their neighborhood and I can’t lie I think they only being half ironic. I doubt any of them would care if some Chinese dude made a cartoon of them looking like a total piece of shit, probably give them a boner actually.

                The point was about Jim not this community though and there is some historical context as well regarding the obvious skin color racism and how Asians were generaly portrayed(small eyes) and there is no excuse here imo Jim should know better.

                Yes there is some truth in what you point out about this community and western leftists but I think it is pretty clear "death to America" is not a call to genocide the US population, stuff like " :xi-plz: " isn't a serious call for WW3. When the right memes about racism I definitely think they are more serious about their intents.

      Probably referring to the game Devotion, which got kicked off GOG and Steam because the Taiwanese developers hid some a xi winnie the pooh image in it, and created a backlash with Chinese users.

      Their previous game was called Detention and was a really good side scrolling horror game, dealing with the past authoritarian Taiwanese government.
