Hey cool, this is the first time I ever noticed a russian troll account as soon as I saw the title of the post. 12 days old, all polarizing posts, nice work comrade. Edit: I even got the downvote 5 seconds after posting, such an honor.
Neither, I'm saying that sentence is cringey as fuck and then I stopped reading, because "upper echelon" is just a buzzword that means nothing these days.
The real cringe is this opening sentence "Social Justice Warriors have infiltrated the highest echelons of the gaming and entertainment industries..." 'nuff read, closed tab.
Judging by the age of the photo, no...no it wouldn't have. At worst it would have resulted in a mother or father saying, "your kid hit my daughter, control him."
