2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Ever notice how there's a lot of Russophobia and racism against Russians in Counter-Strike games? (lemmy.ml)

Before the ukraine war, I noticed that a bunch of insults in that game were targetting Russians like saying SUKA BLYAT in a mocking tone.

Some of The U.S fan base generalize(d) russians as if they're like this.

Yes, it's as old as the CS and general online gaming, like the infamous CYKA BLYAT and RUSH B memes, and it got many many times worse in the last year with the russophobic onslaught in all western and westoid media.
