Yeah but that’s an interesting technical point, more suited to 2015 HN - in 2025 we can’t let technical matters get in the way of our Sinophobia…

There is precisely zero Sinophobia in the parent thread. Conflating criticism of a country's government with discrimination against that country's people is a very old state propaganda technique that is deeply evil and you should be ashamed of yourself.

This thread is actually about criticism of Riot Games, not any country's government. But for some reason, whenever Westerners do things to other Westerners, they call each other Chinese. In the not-racist way that one does that.

And, as anyone remotely familiar with the situation would know, Riot Games is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent, a Chinese company, and all Chinese companies are subject to arbitrary amounts of control by the Chinese government.

You just committed the same fallacious propaganda technique of the parent. It's extremely dishonest and malicious. Don't do it.
