As an Estonian, I’d just say that Americans have a heavy presence on the internet, that’s all. In my opinion, it’s a human thing, not a matter of race, nationality, or gender. If there were a study showing that one of those groups had a higher prevalence of that behavior, I’d expect it to change over time, just as women and men in South Korea have recently shifted their voting patterns. In other words, the behavior could be tied to temporary cultural/other factors.

So you actually believe a military should have quotas based on arbitrary characteristics such as race or gender, tied to the population it is meant to protect? That is, if the population is around 50% women, the military should attempt to have 50% women in all positions? And that any disparate outcome would be evidence of racism or sexism? Would that be your position taken to its extreme, while your actual position has the same essence but is much more sensible in degree? Or what do you think?
You should be free to be rude online. It’s useful to know who the rude ones are so you can avoid them. Censoring is a bad idea in this case, and I believe Valve has taken the correct stance.
This reminds me of Jeremy Kauffman's ad, "War is Gay," which advocated for making militarism as gay as possible. The point is that militarism, or zabernism, is considered acceptable and even encouraged as long as DEI quotas are met within the military. https://youtu.be/kdfym6LKpQ0
Why is being confidently wrong considered an exclusive or primary trait of white males, and why would anyone attribute this behavior primarily to their gender or race?
We need some “everybody love everybody” and some Jesus-style politics, instead of all this identity politics whatnot.
