Honestly, just really dumb of Hoyo and the promotion company to try to sponsor someone with “4Chan” right in the name.

    Guy could have probably milked a lot more sympathy if he just said he got screwed out of 2k without listing all the ways he broke his contract. This just look bad to anyone who isn’t anti-Chinese to a deranged level.

    It literally says “Please do not include violence, sex, politics related content.” and he’s “???” after a sex related joke like he has no clue what the issue is.

    Most people are more sympathetic to people than companies so it should be the easiest PR win ever, but instead he looks both extremely racist and like a clown who doesn’t even skim through what he signs.

      He’s probably gambling that there’s enough latent sinophobia in his target audience that this will make him net famous.

      His target audience is gamers, so the chances probably aren’t bad.
