Isn’t the whole point to dehumanise them?

They’re calling them a “none playable character” after all.

Movies are largely boring nowadays, I would agree with that with some exceptions.

TV script writing over the last two decades however, is arguably the better than its ever been.

Why do you think this?

Many of these athletes don’t even agree with the war and many are public about this disagreement.

Even the Olympics allows these athletes to perform under a none disclosed flag.

Why should Russian and Belarusian athletes be punished individually for the actions of their countries government?

I’ll point you to Wimbledon this year where Belarusian Victoria Azarenka was unfairly boo’d off court after her loss with Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. Azarenka has been openly against the war since it started. Why should she be punished?

This.

Wimbledon banned russian and Belarusian athletes last year. With the ban being lifted for this year’s event. One Belarusian athlete (victoria azarenka) was even boo’d at Wimbledon after her loss against Ukraine athlete Elina Svitolina, who refused to shake hands with any Russian or Belarusian.

Azarenka is openly against the war and has been since the war started, but is still being treated unfairly as a villain.

I understand this is a near impossible task, but sports (particularly the athletes) and politics should stay separate.

If the temperature this summer has been warmer than normal for you, then the lower humidity could be caused by the additional heat.

Warm air will process more moisture than cooler air.
