It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This shit is relentless with every new multiplayer game release. Westerners always want specifically the Chinese to be region locked, nobody else, just them.

They see a name with Chinese characters and start frothing at the mouth about it frothingfash

EDIT: Ah yes here's another new one https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18emyxe/region_block_for_russians_and_chinese_please/

And a big one a month ago, in this they claim 99% of all cheats are China and the vast majority of all people ever banned in games are always Chinese https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/17ikpcw/region_lock_china_do_not_make_the_same_mistake/

Another today lol https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18eeo9r/so_genuine_question_why_wasnt_china_region_locked/

Yeah keep those yankies out of eu please, they're all cheaters anyway

Come on now, this is no way to talk about the gracious american masters who are magnanimously providing gas to their european servants and relieving them of the burden of having to manage energy-intensive industries

Unlike the west where people are taught cheating and stealing is bad their culture supports it.

literally one of the biggest modern 'lessons' within the social fabric of the crackerstanic sphere of influence has been "it's okay to cheat and steal if you have capital"

[–] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I played a lot of that game in the betas, and did not once come across a single one of these Chinese hackers with bad ping. These people are getting extremely mad at losing and blaming the first thing they see.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes it's specifically a reaction to seeing Chinese names. It happens in Naraka Bladepoint too where you come across Chinese names a lot. There's an extreme negative reaction to them. You get this differently with Japanese names where instead the mantra is that Japanese names are all absurdly hyper-skilled. If they're Chinese they're all cheaters though.

I honestly think it would do some good if gamers from China started making friends outside China through games they meet in, they might have a positive influence on attitudes to China.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago

wtf-am-i-reading Bro the US has terrible internet infrastructure! It's actually criminal, and you're complaining about China?? I'd regularly be completely unable to play online games because of a baseline 300ms delay, thanks to the (only available) ISP throttling speeds like an absolute MF. But its the damn CCP who use their...delay due to geographic distance to...cheat and steal...?

[–] xXthrowawayXx@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I could make the lag argument, there’s a lot of evidence that the combination of distance and all kinds of packet inspecting network hardware would make Chinese players harder to deal with…

opens big book of racism instead

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

was basically going to post the same thing. makes sense to want to play people that are in the same region as you for competitive games. doesn't make sense to get racist AF

This is like the study about male gamers, gamer rank, and misogyny:

that's not the first time i hear that "cheating and stealing is part of their culture", where did this bs came from? badeline-disgust

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

If you play a western multiplayer game at less than 150ms and without cheating, that is the 69th form of liberalism.

Ever picked up a history book? The west does not have history, it has a criminal record.

Day 2 of game, day 2 of calls for region locking: https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18f2j9y/please_save_asia_servers_before_its_too_late_you/

Full of racism, not just against Chinese but also Russians.

Although the devs appear to be banning people from the discord for raising this:

And I like this comment:

This is absolutely one of the major methods of promoting hate that is used and figuring out how to get this to stop would be quite useful, it happens every single major multiplayer release.
