sec i will get my Idiot-Translator (also known as IT)

Ferdia - Hey IT : what is Atomic Heart and what is ^MSX98 talking about?

IT: The post above by ^MSX98 relates to the game Atomic Heart, a game developed in Cyprus (which btw is not a part of Russia). As the storyline takes place in the Soviet Union, or rather, the company has not mentioned the Ukraine War, ^MSX98 and others like him/her/it believes everyone should boycott the game. This is moronic but feeds into the narrative of all things about Russia are bad, even if not made in Russia/Soviet Union.

talk about petty. It is posts like the above that can cripple a company when masses of opinionated people with little regard for common sense band together against some perceived, or invented, slight, to fit their narrative. This is not a new movement we have seen this countless times in the past and we will see it again in the future.

if the storyline was based in any other country we would not see this attack against this company. I mean there are countless FPS games with story lines based in Russia and elsewhere, should they all get this hate thrown at them as well? lets boycott Call of Duty ok, because we dont like Iran, right ???

This is not based on fact and totally moronic :

The last line "comment" of that image is something you missed or misunderstood?

"If Russia makes robots like this in real life, they can nuke Ukraine for all I care"

Btw what you said about the original image without the "comment" does make sense in context.
And I would generally agree.

I like to play devils advocate lol


i am all for stating a position, arguing a point, agreeing to agree/disagree, look at it from all sides, and on the balance of probability, state a position ( too few ppl state their position ). This includes changing my position from time to time ( some ppl struggle with this ).

in this regard your post was better then mine as it added more context, but I would still stand by my stated position above, that the company should not be bashed. the fact is companies are international and there are links everywhere, with everyone, its easy to link an internation company with multiple countries. its however not safe to do so.

the CIA operates in Russia, lets bash them as well !

100% agree, don't need to look very far back in history to see the horrible effects demonizing an entire group of people can have, but if humans can be counted on for one thing it's that "this time is different!"

What's the significance of an obvious joke from a Twitter account with 10 followers?
