The little snippet of Switzerland mentioned by reviewer above is glossed over by the author but honestly has no effect on the actual story. Maybe it's the phrasing of the translation as it seems to be edited mtl. The original sentence is less blunt albeit still questionable. Feels like the reviewer who was outraged was overly harsh in their review using "brainwashed" to describe people. Think it's just overwhelmingly narrow to not take into account the stereotypes that surround European countries like Switzerland from a perspective of someone who literally lives behind a firewall. Obviously author is not well-versed in whatever is going in Switzerland (as they are quite literally 1 in HDI for 2021) but to use brainwash really rubs me the wrong way.

Obviously with jjwxc restrictions and overall rules regarding the internet they gotta be patriotic, that's like a given[collapse]
