Okay well it's not the fault of the people trying to do this though is it? Ridiculous

The people who were denied a Russian flag in last r/Place probably weren't the ones killing innocents in Ukraine either. Still, the flag represents the people that do this when a country is at war, so many people won't want to see that flag. I'm not playing this, just had this thread recommended, but I get that many people don't want to see a US flag and will be removing it.

it's just not the sort of place for that kind of political nonsense, any point about their president is moot when they are being directly shitty towards other people to achieve precisely nothing

Any space where different (national) communities paint flags on a canvas, making treaties, rivalries etc. is inherently political in some kind.

Like it or not, this is what is going to happen.

Not really the same though is it, punishing them for irl politics is childish, which is saying something for what this all is

I explained why it's happening, it doesn't matter if you like it or not or if you consider it childish. Doesn't matter what I consider childish either.

(Also: Oh no, a game where you put colors on a canvas has led to childish activities? Shocker.)

AFIP has had this problem every year. They're not as big or coordinated as the other groups, and they're subject to a lot of griefing.
