Maybe they would too if it turned out their government had been in control of a feminist cult for a bit and that, at least during the first emergence of that gesture, it was a dogwhistle by feminist artists to signal to each other while making fun of the men that were playing the games they were working on and in doing so financing their jobs. Yeah, without context it sounds real laughable, but if turned out someone works on a game you put money into, who constantly hides little messages to shit on you in their art and writing, would you be like
>yeah, that's fine with me, I'm not insecure
because to me that would make you look like a little bitch. Yeah, just bend over and take it, let them have all your stuff while they keep fucking with you and then pay them for it. Writing is no different, you are literally in a general of a game whose writing was sabotaged in a similar way to shit on the player (character). Would you have rather have played that writer's version of the Black Shores and Rinascita? Because I sure don't. There are always two sides to it, I think that if we had a bit more of that energy in the west, maybe so many games in the last decade wouldn't so dogshit with devs who just get hired onto the next big project after they burned their previous studio and hundreds of millions in budgets in the attempt to spite their core audience for the xth time.
