This is completely false though.

Out of the three of us, the Russian rando is the only one that can realistically influence the Russian state unless you and I are willing to put our boots on and plan an invasion. He is part of the Russian polity.

Now Putin may rule through fear, but he still only rules with the consent of the average Russian rando. If enough of them decide that they're no longer "non-political", Putin will no longer rule and the war can end. Frankly, that's the only way this war is going to end. So this is entirely their responsibility.

With that in mind, the question I raised above still stands, how many Ukrainians need to die to avoid hurting or inconveniencing the average Russian rando? Can you answer that?

    To continue on your train of thought, how many Ukrainian children should die to save the life of a Russian child?

    Russian parents can decide to end the war today. Ukrainian parents cannot.

    I never actually saw the mail before. I read the GOG apology and assumed they used runes that looked a bit too similar, but looking at the screenshot they full on used the Siegrune at least.

    Rereading the apology, they might not be Nazi's but they're definitely not sorry enough to give a proper apology for using Nazi imagery. That's not a good look either.

    Are Japanese men just ... problematic

    The President of the United States raped children, everyone knew it, and he was still elected with the consent of the majority of Americans.

    I don't think it's specifically Japanese.
