    Tiananmen Square Footage Removed from Call of Duty Trailer

This is when the Chinese government had a big uh "crackdown" on pro-democracy protesters. That is to say, they murdered the fuck out of their citizens, or made them "disappear," and attacked them with...

    Rumor: Nintendo to Release Switch Pro Model in 2021
