While tech level in the west had you guys access the computer first then the mobile phone, in the east, especially in poorer countries, only the privileged had personal computers 10-20 years then the less fortunately had their first taste of the internet with the advent of the smart phone, and the cheap data deals that came with it. India is in the same state, with regions having cell towers but no toilets for example, makes an interesting, and funny archaic arrangements. You should've seen the Pakistan vs India shitposting on Tiktok.
If you wonder why filipinos for example, have such a toxic internet gaming culture, I want to remind you that you are literally playing with dregs of society who spend 3 American Cents per hour to play video games in a seedy shack called an "internet cafe". I am not familiar with indonesian internet culture, but their newfaggotry and 4chan use must be an indicator of a slightly similar arrangement.
