@Lady @Satsuma@wandering.shop yeah which is part of why I consider this kind of behavior so harmful

@Satsuma@wandering.shop part of the reason why this irritates me so much is because i feel like the same 'it originated in Asia [talks only about what happened in Europe/the US]' thing is going on right now, nearly 700 years later with covid
