Funny how the brain-washed Borg cluster would feel insulted personally when their Queen is (supposedly) insulted.
That country is gonna be a huge problem for mankind in the near future.

Or or now hear me out, let’s not bring politics into our games? Also don’t act like America doesn’t have this very same reaction to even dumber things.

Only for bigots like yourself.
Here’s an idea. Before name calling and perpetuating your brainwashed narrative how about you step in the shoes of your victims?
Let’s try something. Instead of having a Taiwan developer make a game unrelated to politics but then throw in a jab at the mainland based on their own political views how about we change it to a German developer who made a game about some tragic story set in 1980s Germany but somewhere hidden in the game players end up finding a swastika with the words Death to all Jews. Now try to be this irate against anybody who doesn’t like the game.
You know what? Let’s try that. I’m going to take your words and just fit it with this new narrative and we’ll see how it would sound.
“Funny how the brain-washed pro-Jew cluster would feel insulted personally when their Holocaust fodder is (supposedly) insulted.
These people are gonna be a huge problem for mankind.”
