If anything, orcs don’t deserve being compared to russians.
'> complains about being banned for bigotry
'> claims that an entire nationality is worse than a fantasy shorthand for inherently and irredeemably evil species
I think the mods got it right dude.
Maybe that entire nationality shouldn’t exhibit exclusively traits of an inherently and irredeemably evil species.
MLs are banning everyone who disagrees with their narrative regardless of rules, and you know it.
Maybe, maybe not, but in this case you are pretty clearly breaking their rules about no bigotry, and then doubling down on it repeatedly.
So once again, they definitely got it right this time.
I’d also point out that this type of rhetoric is an excellent way to make Russian propaganda against the west seem accurate.
Me? That’s not even my post, my guy. Though I agree with OP. Anyone who directly or indirectly supports the terrorist nation (including by inaction) more than deserves to be called an orc and worse.
Directly and indirectly, including through inaction, huh? So pretty much every baby in the world is a literal manifestation of evil or worse.
I rarely take claims of russophobia seriously. You sir are a russophobe.
You sir must be a really good farmer with how quickly you build strawmen.
You instantly zero in on anything you can stretch into “bigotry” that is directed against russia but ignore blatant systemic bigotry in support of them. If pointing that out makes me a russophobe, then I’m clearly not trying hard enough.
Wtf is “systemic bigotry in support of Russia”? Are you talking about Russian propaganda? Yeah, that’s common. Spreading around is a pretty defining feature of propaganda.
Because claiming that an entire nationality is fundamentally and irredeemably evil is pretty clearly bigotry.
This is you claiming all citizens are military targets
