It's one of the most insane examples of racism being so deeply embedded in a hobby I'm aware of. The sixth most upvoted post on /r/pcgaming is from a supposedly Chinese gamer claiming that all Chinese gamers are predisposed to hack because cheating is a part of culture there and hack developers are chasing a drug-like high
And maybe this is a hot take, but I think a lot of the people who parrot the point don't realize how fucking racist it is. It reminds me of how a younger RION heard that foreign nationals buying up property was the big cause of housing shortages in the USA and Canada, and I just went ahead and repeated that because it sounded plausible without interrogating how racist and nonsensical that claim actually is
Since it's apparently unclear the "hotness" of the take isn't that the rhetoric is racist (although it very much is) but that so many of the people who repeat it are somewhat ignorant to that racism.
