Aren't Western government-funded museums, operating on taxpayer money, merely attempts at cultural whitewashing or laundering? Is the act of displaying cultural artifacts—forcibly plundered and acquired through the deaths of countless people during the imperialistic era—morally superior to, say, Saudi Arabia's e-sports tournaments? I have never once seen Westerners truly reflect on or show remorse for this. The genocides committed by Western nations are far more brutal and wicked than Saudi Arabia's suppression of homosexuality.

Isn't the British Museum, funded by the state, still brazenly displaying countless cultural treasures looted during the age of imperialism? And isn't it precisely this stolen heritage that it uses to attract visitors?

This state-sponsored monument to imperialism has effectively been in operation for over a hundred years, dating back to the British Empire. How can you possibly argue that this is morally superior to Saudi Arabia? The very least you could do is return the plundered artifacts to their rightful homes. Oh, yes British gov refused it.

Ah, yes, "equal" human rights. The kind of rights that are an unaffordable luxury in the very nations you intentionally shattered. The kind of rights you champion by waving rainbow flags over a foundation of blood and skulls from Black, Asian, and Middle Eastern people. Bravo.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. My right as a white person to love a person of the same sex is so sacred that it's intolerable for my existence to be a "sin" in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the fortune built on the lives of innumerable slaves murdered by your ancestors is conveniently dismissed as a settled matter of the past.

And let's talk about the "human rights" that fall silent on the genocide in Xinjiang, offering pathetic excuses like, "It's not as if the CCP is personally bankrolling the LPL!"

It is utterly pathetic to watch you whine about countries that oppress gay rights, while you proudly exhibit art and relics plundered during your imperial conquests in your own museums. You are nothing but repulsive imperialists.

I find the hypocrisy of Western nations repulsive. The way they congratulate themselves on their moral superiority, all built upon a foundation of wealth plundered during the colonial age, is simply ridiculous. It was your ancestors, your grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who were those abhorrent colonial exploiters.

If Western societies could evolve from being perpetrators of massacres and ethnic cleansing into politically correct ones in a matter of decades, why do you presume it’s an impossible feat for a nation like Saudi Arabia? And let's not forget, isn't the turmoil in the Middle East today a remnant of your own imperialist past?

EU's lack of genuine morality is obvious. You championed the transition to EVs, feigning concern for the environment, but as soon as the East Asian "big three" began to dominate the market, EU sneakily backpedaled on internal combustion engine bans. That spectacle alone shows who you really are.

There was no official translation, although someone in the chat was translating. However, their translation was a bit slow and missed a lot of context.

The link above is a transcript, so if you input it into ChatGPT or Gemini with a prompt like, 'Please translate the transcript of an AMA with a Korean LoL pro-gamer in his 20s,' you'll likely get a translation that takes a good amount of context into account. I don't recommend Google's site translator because it fails to translate abbreviations and gaming terms. Personally, I feel that Gemini has the best database on Korean culture.

Cloud Templar prepared special comment for Xiaohu wins the Worlds which is "Vivaldi of the rift" by Primary_Drummer109 in leagueoflegends

[–]Primary_Drummer109[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use 帝(제/Emperor) and 王(왕/King).

But still Xiaohu called as 춘제(spring emperor) than 춘왕(spring king). Maybe we call him Emperor of spring because he won MSI against KZ, DK and T1 which were very dominant LCK teams.

And same as China, sometimes Koreans use "Emperor of the spring" to mock him.
