What exactly angered Chinese users so much? I'm missing some important context here
- genocidicbunny 4y agoI'm missing most of the context too, but from the twitter thread linked to by the dev, it seems that a lot of Chinese posters immediately started firing back as though he was attacking China specifically. I know the Notepad++ dev has made some spicy comments but I don't recall if there were any directed towards the Chinese government.
- colejohnson66 4y agoIt was related to Hong Kong and the genocide, which some in China agree with
- SQueeeeeL 4y agoI think it's similar to how certain Americans get squirrelly when people talk about racial brutality, like I imagine we'd get a lot of weird people sending cringe messages if they named a release "Justice for Trayvon Martin"
- AdmiralAsshat 4y agoThe creator titled one of the previous releases "Free Uyghur", IIRC, which made many Chinese users upset.
- simplotek 4y agoIf you get upset by people who state that genocide is bad, you're rooting for the bad guys.
- phantomathkg 4y agoAnd a lot of Chinese do really think like that. They think the advancement of economic is more important than the freedom of ethic group (and their own freedom).
- simplotek 4y agoI'm sure even the most militant of CCP members would agree that genocide is not a key factor in China's economic growth.
