Just curious to know if anyone here is aware of the dislike and detest of Taiwanese Aoe2 players and China

I believe his name is GTKcloud or something. Well recently I watched his stream and saw everyone was speaking Chinese (what I thought). I said hello in simple Chinese (mandarin) and they were furious because China and Taiwan apparently have a terrible history and the channel was actually full of Taiwanese individuals.

GTKcloud or whatever his name is refuses to even play as the civilization of China. The same attitude was consistent with his chat which consisted of like 500 players.

Just something I found interesting because I never thought world politics could so heavily influence a community in Aoe2.

If you don't believe me simply do some research on China and Taiwan and you'll very quickly understand that there is a great dislike for each other rooted at the societal level.

Again I don't know how popular GTKcloud is but I thought I would post this because i'm fairly certain he's a big player (could be mistaken)
