    No good ever comes from reading YT comments. People with a weakness for reading them might consider installing a browser extension that blocks them.

    Another useless wh*teoid scared of an advocacy organization that dares to center minorities. Pisses me off.

    I was watching a video from a channel whose content I really liked and he brought up this game, which led to him making a China/winnie the pooh joke and my eyes rolled back into my head. There were some comments that were pretty similar to what you see on this video. It’s such a bummer when I find an otherwise cool channel and then they say some stupid shit about China/USSR/socialism/whatever and I’m reminded “oh yeah this is still a thing.” Feels like the channels I can stand watching are dwindling by the day.

    Semi-related: it’s hilarious reading threads on reddit about this game breaking all kinds of concurrent player records and seeing all the insane levels of cope from redditors regarding China. So far I’ve seen people claim the players are actually all Chinese bots, Chinese people are only buying it to spite the west because they’re nationalists, and there’s also quite a few people just bewildered to learn that Chinese people are allowed to play games at all. lmao

        I remember when Genshin first came out people thought it was Japanese, and once they realized it was Chinese they tried organizing a boycott lol. Seems like it didn’t work considering the mountains of cash that game brings in now.

    I have a life… is what I tell myself before inevitably reading this shit.
