Russian Players should not be on tour during the War.

It is quite baffling to read this thread, to put it mildly, for someone who was born and grew up as a mostly russian-speaker in western Ukraine and whose formative years happened as USSR fell apart and Ukraine became independent.

On one hand you have Ukrainians who actually first hand experienced horrors of this war and continue to experience them on a daily basis. On the other hand, you have people so brainwashed by russian propaganda that they literally deny the lived experience of Ukrainians and see absolutely nothing wrong with telling them what is actually happening in their country and/or engage in banal whataboutism and sophistry...

I suppose this thread does serve a useful purpose - my ignore list more than doubled in length.

See, this is the bad blood I was talking about.

Probably just a taste of what's to come.

Murdering innocent children called fighting with terrorists?

Is morality a completely foreign concept to you?

What about innocent children in Ukraine?

We can do this "what about" nonsense indefinitely, it's why it's called "whataboutism" and it's not gonna win you any internet arguments, that's for sure.

You know what? Western propaganda being downright ridiculous at times may have actually had an opposite effect with many of these people.






Shit like this tends to drive people to seek alternative sources of info.
