The only logical answer I have for why people would yellow-face themselves while rage-hacking in a new game is because there is a group intentionally agitating this issue for political purposes.
It’s not like they’re trying to pretend to be good. They are blatant rage hacking with the intention of letting everyone know that they’re doing it. There is no logical answer for this other than agitators.
This is the easiest thing in the world to do. You ragehack in a game using a Chinese name while constantly posting in communities about how the game is filled with Chinese hackers and how they need to be region locked. Then you also post all your race-theory bullshit for how they’re predisposed culturally-or-otherwise to “cheating”.
And because it damages the TREATS gamers react viscerally to it. They’re incredibly easy to manipulate.
Every time I’m playing an online video game and I hear the word “Chinese” there is basically a 100% chance it will be followed up with “hacker.”
Which is interesting because I swear it’s just projection from racist assholes. I don’t run into cheaters very often, or at least I don’t think I do, but the last two people I am certain were cheating were white supremacists. I fought a Ken player in SF6 that in a team called “Whites only” and the other guy was in Tarkov who was walling and just shouting the worst shit imaginable at anyone who came within earshot.
Someone sent me this right wing thinktank shit as “evidence” of the Chinese being cheaters earlier today and said it’s “objectively true” lmao.

Literally nothing to do with videogames.
Absolutely no comparison to whatever the cheating average is.
Site is literally filled with how the “woke” is bad for education.
