Yet another anglosaxon government suppressing non anglosaxon culture

Anglo-Saxon? Lmao what a bizarre way to talk. Not that it even makes sense considering Anglo-Saxon settlers in the US weren't even close to being the majority.

It's down to unicode support. Not a plot from "Anglo-Saxons" to keep others in their place lol

To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.

Arguably. Or it's just what the dev team was used to. Or a bunch of other explanations.

I just don't find "a historic Germanic group of settler's that immigrated to medieval Britain are purposely neglecting unicode support as a means to suppress people that aren't part of their group."

Going through their post history, they seem obsessed with the "Anglo Saxons".

Just a bizarre conspiracy theory from a one day old account that's also advocating for genociding everyone in the middle east lol
