except we know Chinese people have been review bombing other games because BMW didn't win. Sure doesn't seem like a joke to them.

This is based on a shit article from the shitrag "TheGamer" that calls 500 players downvoting a game a movement. There's 1,4B people in China, 500 votes don't even register. TheGamer is a clickbait/ragebait shitrag that weaponises xenophobia/culture wars/ignorace to generate traffic. They are the precise example of the enshitification of the Internet. Veritable parasites.

I got heavily downvoted for pointing out "TheGamer" as a poor source of gaming journalism in a post specifically linking to that article. So I guess that tells me everything I need to know about Lemmy?
