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 don't really know how gamers came to the conclusion that cheating is only something chinese gamers do.
They always go on about how x wouldn't survive a cod lobby but they legit wouldn't have survived the hack plagued cod mw2 lobbies of old. Or black ops 2. Games were legit unplayable and i don't think it was chinese gamers doing that.
People at school used to pay people for hacks on their account or max prestige it was just a normal day and every fucking person wanted to cheat to show their friends how "good" they are.
I remember when battlefield 3 came out and it was common to have someone basically delete everyone in the server on loop.
Shit like this:
People are literally citing a 5 year old post by an account literally made to make that post as evidence for their views.
It's psyop shit. I'm becoming increasingly suspicious that gamers were deliberately led to this through agitative psyops.
Didn't Steve Bannon have a hand in Gamergate?
I vaguely remember it started getting talked about a lot when pubg came out seemingly out of nowhere. Suddenly it was a major part of discourse. Feels very psyopy.
It’s not psyops lmao. It’s just the natural conclusion of racism. You don’t need the CIA to do anything when you already believe that Chinese people are the reason your parents are divorced
It was around 2013 or so, I think.
Reddit had a deluge of people posting screeds about how “pay to win” was baked into Chinese culture as being acceptable. They’d lump it in with the anti micro transactions rage that hadn’t died yet at the time.
I think you might be onto something.
"I can't be racist because a bunch of other white people agree with me this race is a problem"
Can we like crowd fund some self awareness for these people or something?

The one time I was in a MW2 lobby that was hacked/glitched that gave everyone on my team what was basically god mode, one of my teammates made a remark about how they wished they were high for the game. I was cringe enough at the time to have actually believed DARE's shit and brought up DARE in saying weed was dangerous. I was shocked when my teammates mocked DARE.
Fast forward about a decade and now I smoke the reefer (admittly too) frequently.
they remember it when they die in some obvious bullshit way and see a chinese name but not when an anglo one does it, even though they probably run into more anglo cheaters because they run into more anglo players period.
the next level of problem is that the high ping bastards who cheat aren't as vulnerable to counterplay as the local cheaters are so it's "worse" even if it's the same cheats.
They're just being racist cheating is possibly more prevelant today, for reference one guy was able to find (atleast one) cheater in 60% of the games he played in tarkov
That video was wild, it actually got me back into the game since dying all the time feels like less of a skill issue lol.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I had some distinctly not Chinese friends in my rural school in upstate new york making lag switches for Socom out of physical light switches.
Weeping at the savagery of the pre-precog era. I'm sorry we couldn't save you. But with our research into new recogs... we just might...
One time I was playing Gmod darkrp and some wehraboo came in with a Day of Defeat wermacht playermodel, spawned an mg42, and just camped the server spawn with an aimbot. And you know what? Sprintjumping from cover to cover, sneaking up the stars, timing my steps with the gunfire so he wouldn't hear me, and finally bursting onto the roof and murking his lazy ass with a donated pistol was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had in any online game.
These losers should adapt
It is the flavor of the week. Every game community seems to have particular hate for a specific ethnic/nationality. LoL hated Brazilian players. CS GO had a thing about Russians. This is just the latest version of American being chauvinists pieces of shit. Occassionally a tik tok streamer pops up in my feed where he is using autoaim and see-through hacks, in COD MW and it's so funny for being both blatant, and the way the comments actively engage with the idiot by calling him names.
