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 think a lot of it has to do with orientalism and unfamiliarity. It's an easy thing to blame on a large mass of people you cannot and will not be communicating with. Cheaters exist in every area. America, Russia, Brazil, china, literally anywhere. However I think China being more "foreign" to people than other countries supercharges this more for the normal fashy gamer.
That said I'm enjoying the fuck outta the finals lol. I play at a very fucked up time in the states so I play with a lot of Chinese players and I still haven't seen a single cheater lol.
It's really fucking good lmao. Emergent gameplay and having to adapt constantly is so interesting.
It’s absolutely this, in CS for instance the racist focus of the G*mers is on Russians
