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
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/
Totally not racism though:
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.
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.
i tried to make friends with some dudes from china i met on league one time. unfortunately the 2nd game I ever queued with them i fed my ass off and they kicked me and unfriended me as soon as the game ended![emoji kitty-cri-screm kitty-cri-screm](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/765722d0-7524-48bb-999e-e3f41c54140d.png)
