Black Myth: Wukong Devs Told Streamers to Avoid Politics in Their Playthroughs. It Backfired
The Chinese studio granted early access on the condition that topics like “feminist propaganda” and “Covid-19” go unmentioned. What followed is the Streisand effect in full force.
“I feel that it only served to bring more attention on Game Science’s culture of sexism,” linktothepabst says. “All they had to do was let the game speak for itself, but it came off, to me, like an own goal, effectively stoking the flames between the people who were using this game as weapon against ‘wokeness in games’ and those who can level-headedly either enjoy the game and criticize GS or just ignore the game altogether.”
It’s the Streisand effect in full force: Try to hide something, and it becomes all the more visible. “Nobody was going to bring up Chinese politics unprompted,” Zhong says, “but the topic was there as soon as they released those guidelines.”
If it's the mod I think it is, prepare for a 30d ban ...
Based on their comments in this thread they may have earned that much of a ban
Could you clarify what comments I made that broke any rules, or were even slightly unpleasant?
Easiest to list which ones weren't. You're escalated replies aren't helping you either
You're dodging. Just say one then.
All of them then. Amazing you haven't been banned for how uncivil you are
You didn't even read them, did you?
I did and no I'm not picking them apart to point out what all was rule breaking, especially as I'm not a mod
No, but you made a claim that me being banned would be justified based on what you saw, so it is only fair that you back that claim. I provided sources for all of mine.

She doesn't owe him any explanation for saying she could do without sea lions. He can ask why, and if she doesn't want to talk about it, he needs to fuck off.
No.
I haven’t been banned as of this comment, but that sounds like a lovely person.
I get people downvoting. It contradicted lot of beliefs, but removal was not justified.
I did get banned from PleasantPolitics@slrpnk.net by their bot that bans purely based on how many downvotes you have.
