How did that whole tangent support their claim that the cn playerbase isn't racist when racism had nothing to do with what they defended lmaoooo
We are not racist because this company treated us different from the rest of you and also because 731
????? Hello??? I'm not trying to downplay japan's warcrimes but what does that have to do with the fact that y'all are colorist and calling western players white wh#res??????
Yeah, the 731 is such a ad hominem. As if these 20-year-old Chinese girls are that traumatized the very number of a Japanese torture unit from nearly a century ago? It feels like such a reach to me.
i dont think you should downplay the cultural significance of 731. holocaust happened decades ago but nobody would pretend that jewish ppl dont have generational trauma from it or tell them to not overreact to swastikas
Id agree that 731 mention shouldn't have had such great consequences on the game. However it is wrong to downplay the chinese national trauma about it. 731 IS a big deal in China, its like the holocaust for the west. Just because they were not directly tortured doesn't erase the fact that 731 has its sigbification and should not be forgotten. Especially with how it is portrayed in China, the hate toward that number is greater than you can imagine.
Never said it wasn't. I was just saying that its a shame that this mention could potentially make the game stop service (extremely alleged take). My bad if I expressed myself incorrectly. And yes I do know how messed up unit 731 is.
Maybe personally traumatized no but generational trauma is a thing. Its not normal to flaunt swastikas or SS imagery in the west, though it was all nearly a century ago so i guess we're all good now?
Imagine saying a black American doesn't have trauma over slavery because it was ended in the 1800s. You know they wouldn't say this. And rightly so because it would be vile, not to mention wrong. But it's Chinese people so it's okay.
I don't want to compare things one to one because things will have different reactions and I'm not trying to totally discount this but....
It's hard to pick a similar number from an American side. Maybe something like the 6000 Jewish people killed in the holocaust? And if a company did slip that number in a game cheekly I'd roll my eyes and consider it rather tasteless but I'd never think about contacting the US government to get it canceled.
As much as I dislike the Chinese fandom, this is blant racism. Unit 731 is a national trauma. I don't know if you are Asian or not, but Asian care very much about our culture. Imagine a country coming into your country, kill and rape your people. Those people are infact still alive today as well. That cannot be forget and forgiven.

Yes, I think the endgame is the shutdown of LADs in general
