🧶 with the controversial things seen in #AtomicHeart
Westerners probably won't understand them because they don't know the whole cultural context.
Russians will say it's just a coincidence.

But if there are too many coincidences, you can no longer call them coincidences. 1/n
One of the ethnic slurs russians use for Ukrainians is “piggs”. And there are a lot of pigs in #AtomicHeart

The player can kill them and Z symbols will appear on their bodies, which have become the equivalent of the Nazi swastika. 2/n
There are so many pigs that even cans of ground pork meat look like reference. 4/n
This is not directly about the gameplay, but about the reaction to the criticism. Different russian “shitty memes” channels have posted insults against critics of #AtomicHeart & their minions have started harassing people who have been mentioned
#notallrussians #PutinsWar 🤡7/n ImageImageImageImage
And russians do understand each and every reference. So don't make a pathetic attempt to tell us how much people loved this flower in the ussr, or the flowers don’t look like that at all and it is all a big misunderstanding. 8/n ImageImageImage
Russians understand everything, but pretend it's all the “offended Ukrainians” from “mental facility” making it up. “The references we deserve”, “you can kill pigs, which are suspiciously many of them there”.
#PutinsWar 🙃 9/n ImageImageImageImage
Another🧶 about these “coincidences”
And this is a standard strategy of russians. They call every insult a coincidence/joke. And if you are insulted you’re some kind of “soy” crybaby. Both putin's&opposition fans just pretend there’s nothing happening. They love gaslighting. 10/n
Another good review of #AtomicHeart and its creators. About the gameplay and the connection to the russian government. 11/n
The map with the Crimea being part of russia.

The transfer of the Crimean region to Ukraine took place in 1954.
Atomic Heart takes place in an alternate 1955.

Another “coincidence”. 12/n
Those robots, that make gamers so horny, look not only like a reference to ballerinas (“ru culture”), but to Ukrainian politician Yulia Tymoshenko (russian users also call them that way)
She made a braid around her head & her image became a sensation: myanimelist.net/character/2635… 13/n ImageImageImageImage
Great topic on the general russian propaganda in #AtomicHeart about “traditions”, masculinity, hypersexualised women, etc.

(Pics from ) 15/n ImageImageImageImage
About the excuses that “it's just a game” & “you're overreacting”. The whole #AtomicHeart is a perfect representation of the russian society & propaganda: sexism, xenophobia&racism, war support, covered up with “it's our traditions and nothing is happening”. 16/n

@willpowerpacker when the president of a country under attack wants to talk to a large audience:
No to white people😡

@willpowerpacker when a family of xenophobic racist (that looks like propaganda from the days of racial segregation in the US) happily goes at the Oscars:

Now putin will get scared for sure, and opposition russians will go to overthrow the regime.
And is doesn’t matter what navalny talked about shooting Caucasians, bombing Georgians, good referendum in Crimea, good navalny’s russian world and not giving weapons to Ukraine.

The #Navalny team is using a picture of the Ukrainian girl (Саша Філіпчук) for their ads&poor russians talks.
I wonder if they got permission from her parents to use her picture & add “no to war” at the bottom.
@ZelenskaUA @ZelenskyyUa @Podolyak_M
@tvtoront @bihusinfo @grntmedia ImageImage
They are using the girl from Gostomel to talk about the poor russians who no one else loves anymore.
@EliotHiggins @christogrozev these are the people you are whitewashing.

I don't have the words to describe all my feelings.
Here is the original of this photo.
Estes bastardos acabaram de tirar fotografias de ucranianos (sem autorização, tenho a certeza, porque os russos têm uma má atitude em relação à propriedade intelectual) e colaram “sem guerra” no fundo. Que merda! Caralho! ImageImageImageImage
