Any Muslim, Arab, or Middle Eastern person please reply & rate from 1-10 by how shocked you are seeing US military propaganda about the destruction of our people getting "analytical interviews" featuring only 3 US voices and massive promotion on the largest relevant US website.
Note the trope: the "analytical interview" about the "shoot Iraqis roguelike" and its merits is conducted exclusively by US voices. This always happens, our voices are systemically excluded, both for the real wars & real hurt and the entertainment based on it.
This is why I was so pissed off at every website going ahead running Tamte's words without our voices. I understand interviewing Tamte is easy, and getting our voices is hard. So hold back on publishing Tamte's words until you've done the work of getting counter-voices.
This is real conflict. Real war crimes. Real murder. Real propaganda. Real revisionism. How sites choose to report on this will ripple & condemn innocent lives.
No games website has to be a (temporary) extension of this US tradition of erasing us while reporting on our deaths.
