It’s scary because you have been conditioned to have a predisposition toward seeing everything China does as scary, and to be oblivious to how your life is constrained.

I was the same. I’m sure I still am still under similar illusions about other parts of the world now.

No media with any sort of narrative or characterization is “just entertainment.” Everything either introduces or reinforces cultural values and mores.

The CIA and US military don’t subsidize the US entertainment industry for no reason.

And it does matter. For an extreme and egregious example: the most popular form of…

You shouldn’t judge it on that, it’s honestly more about gameplay and storytelling. It’s meant to evoke pop-up children’s books, and it’s a very small team from what I know so I can forgive cutting corners in the graphical/style department. 

While I agree with this in principle, in practice, that seems to be true of 90% of games out there today. Tutorials are now 20 hours longs.

The first campaign has the most simple enemy designs and tactics required. It’s also shorter (which impacts tactics due to aging) and easier than the rest. And it’s incredibly unlikely you saw more than 30-40% of the core abilities, let alone the wacky stuff, during that campaign.

Your responses are so odd. I’m starting to think you are an AI. 

You’re alarmed that this situation of an actor being harassed for something a fictional character did reminded me of another situation where that exact thing happened? Yes, I’m concerned about people receiving harassment for things like this. It’s not a fictional example, these are real people receiving real harassment…

Y’all have seen the gaming industry lately.

It does make sense. I mean, based on current real world information, racists are among the group least likely to seek out vaccinations or other medical assistance in the event of a zombie plague. I bet they just lost their MAGA hats in the zombie shuffle.

That Feeling When China is doing a better job at regulating their massive tech companies than America.

If someone values “Free Speech” over their financial/legal obligation to increase profits for shareholders, they're being a really bad Capitalist.

I mean, it’s definitely something to debate, especially if you take into account that the WHO considers addiction to gaming as a formal disease, and all that we know about gambling addiction, taking into account micro-transactions/loot boxes/gacha in general...

Ah, yes, it definitely isn't a racist/xenophobic idea unsupported by any facts, and instead this is *further* proof that the above statement is accurate.

They are, either intentionally or unintentionally, referencing Karl Marx

Absolutely fallacious argument on Red China's part, they just want to ban games to make kids more productive because it’s all about the almighty dollar when you’re an atheist authoritarian nation.
