Before the ukraine war, I noticed that a bunch of insults in that game were targetting Russians like saying SUKA BLYAT in a mocking tone.

Some of The U.S fan base generalize(d) russians as if they’re like this.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of that was backlash to the insane number of Russians using cheats and hacks in Counter Strike, Ghost Recon, and Call of Duty. I played a lot around 2000-2010, and more often than not, if a match was ridiculously tilted, it was a Russian or Chinese player using wallhacks.
