“chinese fans give the most revenue” and where is the opportunity for the global servers to do so? wheres our cosplay events? wheres our direct merch links? when did infold ever give the global community a chance to spend money besides in game??
So across Love and Deepspace history, the CN fandom have:
- Mocked global players for concerns about darker skin lighting
- Harassed LGBT players
- Harassed fans of a new Li, including ruining fanart, saying he looks "gay", and "too dark"???
- Harassed Game developers
Yikes!
Every legend has a fall. 💥

no boss or landlord of mine has ever promoted my interests hahahaha. any rent i’ve paid has increased by the maximum allowed whenever possible and my boss gives me the minimum amount of days off required by law and pays me the lowest wage that will keep me in the job.
it's funny how hardly anyone mentioned that this outcome was 100% calculated on their part. their entire profit margin is based on selling overpriced stickers. both good or bad (drama) outcomes would benefit them in terms of marketing. they knew on what toes to step and that they would get away with a slap on the wrist from valve while saying "oh we are so silly, sorry". they would never even consider making mario-themed skins because they would not only get a dmca from nintendo, but also have to sell their last pair of shoes.
and this is why especially when art is tactile and functional like fashion AI is the worst "inspiration" ever. this is an objectively horrible design and she was distracted by this hazy filter and fabrics that wouldnt translate like this irl in these lighting conditions
The irony in this story is overwhelming.
The guy fled China in 2014 because he faced prison for fraud and corruption. No-one believed China, despite them issuing an Interpol Red Notice for his arrest. Western media and US officials universally presented him as a brave dissident unfairly harassed by the "CCP" in a "politically motivated" way (https://t.co/z0vpZvYDrT) because he was fighting corruption (see this VOA story for instance: https://t.co/0rC47K7QDM), a complete inversion of reality.
Steve Bannon even started a nonprofit with him called the "Rule of Law Society." The irony writes itself.
Long story short and true to form, Miles Guo used his "dissident" credibility in the US to - guess what - defraud Americans of $1 billion.
And here we are, 12 years afterwards, with US courts essentially concluding "yeah no, he is actually a crook, our bad."
Which makes it probably the most expensive fact-check in history: $1 billion of damage to verify what an Interpol Red Notice said a decade ago.
I know I'll sound like a broken record but this is yet another fantastic illustration that the kneejerk anti-China bias in Western media is actively harmful. When China says "careful, that guy is a dangerous crook" maybe, just maybe, it's worth checking before branding him with a heroic "dissident" narrative that he can then use to rob your people's life savings... Just a thought 🤷
System of a Down's Serj Tankian reacted to Israel's cabinet vote to recognize the Armenian Genocide, posting a video to his Instagram story on June 29, 2026.
His full statement:
"For many years, Israel's government used AIPAC to lobby the US Congress to not recognize the Armenian genocide, to prevent Congress from recognizing the Armenian genocide, due to their relationship with Turkey, their intelligence sharing with Turkey, et cetera.
Today, the Netanyahu cabinet decided to recognize the Armenian genocide of 1915 — a genocide that led Hitler thinking that he could do what he could do to the Jews in the 1930s and 1940s.
The fact that this government is already committing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon decided to recognize the genocide of my grandparents is the worst f***ing thing that they could have done to Armenians — by using our history, our genocide, our pain to their political advantage.
F*** you."
