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)

    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.
