I strongly dislike Trump (let's keep it at that), but that is a good point. If I had discovered something like this in a game, I'd probably uninstall, perhaps mention that in my review if I have other things to say and move on. Many people would obviously do differently. However, if someone discovered something like this in a game that I own and called everyone to add bad reviews and others have been at work bashing the product... I'd probably say "meh" and not do anything. I find a line between these and while it's clear for me, I cannot put into words exactly why. Am I counting on the actions of others? Not sure. Now we have an ecosystem of very political communities online that expand into social media, games, news and even travel, and they are getting bigger. Would harsh reactions make everything better or worse? I don't know the answer but I follow my gut feeling and just ignore them.

FWIW, the point I'm making isn't that this is reasonable behavior. Only that it's to be expected. Myself, if I saw a game insulting something or someone I'm emotionally attached to, I'd probably roll my eyes and continue or uninstall, depending on how my mood is ruined. I might think less of whoever put the insult there (or allowed it to stay), too. But many, many others would, unfortunately, voice their disdain more directly. I picked Trump as an example because, whatever you think about him, it should be easy for us in the West to imagine people going overboard in defending/dissing him too, because that has been, and is, repeatedly happening in plain sight for many years now. In this sense, it's the same reaction as 'cocacola1 is failing to understand.
