Reading the replies you can almost feel the divide by zero errors in their brains as they try to reconcile "orange man bad" with "orange man did good thing".
Of course with some "orange man bad" still wins.
Here is the thread in question, it's locked but you can still read it.

EDIT: Reading more of the thread, I'm thinking it was a little pro-Trump for the people in charge.
Oh that's right you can actually link to other reddits on here now, no worry about getting banned for "brigading"
They locked that post because it supposedly "Doesn't affect video game companies" which I'm pretty sure is not true. They can have it affect game companies if they want it to.
You can't brigade that thread anyway. But yeah, even though it had a lot of "Orange man bad", it still had too much sorta pro Trump stuff too. Even some of the "orange man bad" stuff was heavily voted down. Can't be having that.
Doesn't Tencent literally own Riot Games? How does this not affect video game companies?
Right now according to the executive order it only applies to transactions connected to WeChat and tiktok, which is pretty reasonable even if you are some pro-china commie.
League of Legends isn't being used as spyware, to our knowledge anyway, while WeChat and tiktok are directly controlled by the communist party of fake China.
"Oh good, I'm glad somebody at least has decided to hold the CCP cronies to account!
Oh.... er.... NOT THAT I SUPPORT TRUMP OR ANYTHING HAHA pleasedon'tbanme"
"well i sure am no trump supporter, actually i was the first one to kill a child in my basement when i heard the news of his election, but i agree with him when he said the chinese are all a bunch of shitnibz, lawl im pro bitches."
man, i just started to dramatically roll my eyes in real life whenever someone starts a sentence with "id never vote for, but" or stuff like that.
God I hate r/games it's so cult,hivemind like over there with all the 50k upvotes on everything
So do I, all SJW shit and jerking themselves over games that look like they were made for the Atari 2600.
But they occasionally have news that I'm interested in.
As opposed to most of non-niche reddit?
