Honestly, there being some variety in who gets pandered to in esport titles would be nice. Fighting games need fewer pop-idol catgirls* and more squat-dancing bearmen. Zangief can only hold down the fort for so long, and no Beowulf doesn't count.

*you, the person reading this, can be a catgirl and that's just fine. Personal catgirl practices are very different from their depiction in media

I think the military promotion of esports is long overdue from the Russian higher-ups and it clocks in with their cyber culture being a bit delayed on some things (like their particular variety of Redditor-esque reactionary cringe pandering compared to Ukraine which has been called "2014 neckbeard posting vs 2022 combatfootage psychopath posting" and it tracks for me) and ahead on others such as piracy
