I’ve been seeing this trend in multilingual communities getting mass downvoted for posting content not in American English, and it's affecting how people interact with respective communities that post non ACE posts.

One huge e.g. was Sword of Legends 4 coverage. The raw sources were massdownvoted. Meanwhile an ACE corporation got inversely upvoted for secondary sourcing information.

Is threadiverse really this xenophobic?
Or is there something we can do about this?

You're aware that 1) Canadians have lots of Chinese readers, 2) those are original sources 3) I included the English steam link with it's ACE localization?

    Original source unless it is not in English, or post in English.
