Chinese soft power created through entertainment can and will climb if they support these industries.

Fascists are going to have a conundrum on their hands, do they back the game because somehow it's "anti-woke" or do they go against it because evil SeeSeePee is brainwashing RoC youths?

They're pushing anti-game journalism and anti-feminism because of that one IGN article that pointed out the dev's sexism that one time.

So yeah, they're trying to do culture war with it. But also from what I've seen it's not something any of the usual people with political clout are talking about. It's the audience of chuds doing the culture war with it, the real fascists are shutting the fuck up about it not wanting to boost a Chinese product.

Hmm yeah you're spot on. Gamers™ really are awful people.

I get the feeling this won't last for very long in the chud space because of the game coming from China. Let's see I guess.
