I assume it's because you're writing in Russian and there's a lot of (deserved) anti-Russian sentiment lately.

    Uhh, that's a really weird fucking thing to do imo. Just because China has a dogshit government doesn't mean I should downvote any post in Mandarin, nor would I go off on a Russian comment simply for existing without knowing any context. Like are people downvoting English comments just cause Trump sucks? You have no idea if that Russian person likes Putin/invading Ukraine.

    I don't disagree with it not being a smart idea, but the English = Trump/US comparison doesn't quite hit because most English speakers are not from the US. Not to mention Putin seems more popular in Russia than Trump is in the US.

    Sounds like racism. The downvotes were also piled upon the guy who responded in Ukrainian, btw.

    I would bet 99% of English speakers cannot differentiate between Russian and Ukrainian.

    I can't, and I've started learning how most of the letters sound just because I have to read it sometimes on stuff from like Serbia, and learning how to curse because duh. Ы still trips me up a lot and I can never remember what the fuck a ю is.
