Really fucking disappointed with this one. I know it's reddit but this is one of my favorite games and the community has been absolutely amazing otherwise

          They don't, that much. The dad of a Russian friend of mine is a professor at an American college. He told us that one semester, his students were doing pretty shitty, so he decided to give them all a freebie test to get their grades up. He started the test, told them he had a super long meeting to go to, and left them alone for like an hour. When he graded the test, he found out most of them had still failed. This story was told to my family (we're also eastern European) with a lot of cackling on both sides about how honest and dumb Americans are 😂

              Good on you tbh, as long as you don't feel you're being used. I used to help half the class with Latin and history back in school 😂

                I don't really care if I'm being used. It's not a massive effort for me. But my comrades help me with other stuff so I help them with that.

            Americans are authority cucked. See: Blue Lives Matter

            They will do whatever you tell them and swallow and lick the boot expertly and happily and then ask for seconds.

    The Chinese culture is built around winning at all costs

    Its also annoying when they type in Chinese and expect eveyone to understand. Teamwork is impossible with them Chinese.

    Fucking dumbass, didn't they know this is China? They should just learn to speak Chinese or get out.

      This fucking pisses me off. In most non-anglo countries, it's compulsory to learn other languages in school. Anglos expect everyone to speak English but get so pissed about having to learn one of the most common languages in the world.

      I laughed really hard at the totally not racist "them Chinese" at the end of that comment.

      I do wonder though, how does the game's communication work? Is there something like quick chat in Rocket League that allows you to communicate with players who don't speak your language? If it's a team based game that's a totally valid complaint, although the solution definitely is not region locking China.

          Hmm ok, if it's voice chat reliant then it might make sense. For some reason I thought it was an MMO or something more casual without the need for full communication. My bad for commenting without looking into the game.

      Yeah, that's why Chinese LoL is one of the best regions and why they have super servers of only the best players so they can play without griefers and cheaters because they don't care about preserving a game.

      Look at how many college kids in America cheat with things like Chegg yet fixate on the Chinese students cheating.

      It’s somehow “different” when someone Chinese does it because of the stereotype. It’s literally just Sinophobia

        I keep having this argument with other TAs, Chinese students don't cheat more, it's just that students who have a larger language barrier hide their cheating less well. It's like really obvious when a group of students with English as their second language cooperate on an assignment, because I see the exact same weird phrasing multiple times over.

      For most of my life nobody complained about specifically chinese cheaters until the last year or two.

      I grew up in a town with a large Asian American community, primarily of Vietnamese, Korean, and Taiwanese ex-pats.

      White people hated them. If you don't speak English fluently, they hated your. If your kids did too well in school, they hated you. If you landed a job at a high end firm, they hated you. If you opened up a small family run business, they hated you.

      They hated your food. They hated your music. They hated your cars. They despised Asian women.

      Asian residents were inevitably ghettoized and segregated, although - ironically enough - the ghettos would outperform the white neighborhoods where everyone hated each other for their own reasons. But you had to fight tooth and nail to get your due as an Asian resident in the Houston suburbs. If you were anything other than a source of cheap labor, you were under constant attack.

        Let’s suppose they were all beautifully innocent savages, which they certainly were not. … What was it that they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their right to keep part of the earth untouched, unused, and not even as property, but just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal?

        There's some bizarre echo chamber involved where like, they think the entirety of Reddit except their small corner of it is some massively pro-CCP agenda and that any dissent gets you instantly banned. Problem is, they fucking all think that.

        Literally the 4th highest rated post on the Escape from Tarkov subreddit is the same fucking thing with the same name. https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/f8qmr1/put_a_region_lock_on_china/

        I'm getting more and more frequently killed in labs by Chinese players with names "DouYu-(insert numbers here) It's their streaming platform. And some of these guys are live streaming, with cheats VISIBLE on their stream. Others seem to have some sort of stealth feature built in, but it's relatively obvious that they're cheating just based on how they move + react vs how they aim. There's no reason whatsoever for Chinese players to be playing on EU servers, lock them to their own region and let them kill each other, simple.

        This is on a game well known for having shitty netcode and desync that makes everyone look like they're cheating.

    Chinese players do not play fairly and they couldn't care less about preserving a game. [...] Is it racist to say that? No. Racial? Sure.
