- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Just wanna suggest anyone reading this post that they should read "the govt of China" anytime they come across "China". We in the Anglophone world love being hysterically scared/detesting of "the Chinese", and our governments love it.
True, although that's not just limited to "China". Basically every country is treated as a homogenous block of people which is not that great for discussions.
Most of the time when they say "China" they forgot to add
's governmentto the end of itThis is a common misconception, but fully understandable one. If you look into political theory, one of the first things you discover is that all governments -- whether they call themselves "democratic" or not -- are, before anything else, at war with the people they claim to represent.
The "people" -- not rival foreign states -- are the first group against which a state of at war with, whether the state in question is a monarchy, a republic, a dictatorship, a plutocracy or something else.
