It's a country like Japan that needs to be careful with fanning their domestic populist hate irresponsibly, they actually have vast business investment in China.

The 20% disparity between Japan and India there really threw me for a loop. I kinda get the whole China v India rivalry thing but what in the gently caress is Japan mad about?

I hate talking like this but it just seems like Japan is kinda asking for it and of all the countries on that list Japan is almost certainly the one China would most enjoy giving it to.

Japan was even worse than Germany where all the fascists besides some token punishments were put right back into power as a client state bulwark against the commies, so you got unfiltered red scare plus generational rage from a buncha would-be colonial overlords denied their servant race/lebensraum

something that needs to be remembered any time you see a post like this is that "controversial feminist posting" in south korea can mean anything from milquetoast wine mom memes to literal revenge porn and if anyone doesnt give you an actual example of what the offending post was then it was probably closer to the literal revenge porn side of the spectrum

Parsing through the tweets (including translated ones), I can't find any claiming she posted revenge porn. I have found claims that she made a tweet denouncing revenge porn, which was deleted before she was hired. That and nerds were looking for someone to blame because some characters in the game were drawn with wetsuits instead of bikinis or whatever.

It's hard to say because I have yet to find the offending tweets, but it's telling that none of the users whom are somewhat defending her firing are claiming this

People keep acting like this is a problem with either the sport being so unsupported by the government that we have to employ Not-Filipinos to be on the national team, or that the public is so (wrongly) accepting of "Pinoy pride" that we're okay with these players being on the team even if their nationality is of dubious origin

What never gets tackled is that if you're a professional player, you're not going to let nationality get in the way of your play either.
