The issue we are facing is a large number of comments from users being racist towards others because of cheating. Our mod queue has received a lot of reports regarding these from you. Reddit Admins have also had to remove a lot of these comments, so we know the issue is present.
lmao
Redditors:
“I want different rules for the Chinese but that’s not racist I just want one specific race of people treated differently”
I vaguely remember it started getting talked about a lot when pubg came out seemingly out of nowhere. Suddenly it was a major part of discourse. Feels very psyopy.
I think it was DayZ where it properly began. Prior to that I have little memory of it ever being raised.
before that i think russians were the boogeyman. gaming in china was also probably different as well iirc the major consoles were hard to get and steam wasn’t over there officially until… 2021? shit that’s later than i thought
brazilians too.
PUBG was very popular worldwide and eventually acquired and marketed by a Chinese company. It also ran like dogshit and the devs didn’t really care so the complaints were more warranted
I don’t see what that has to do with topic of this post.
