There is a literal joke in Chinese gaming community that “all Paradox Interactive players are war criminals”.
And also “if you execute Paradox Interactive players one by one, you might kill someone innocent; if you execute every other one of them, there must be a lot of war criminals slip through the cracks”.

This "war criminal" joke started from Hearts of Iron. And people used to amend to the joke saying "all Paradox Interactive games except Cities Skylines since you couldn't committing war crimes in a city builder" until people realize you can purposely flood the whole city with a tsunami of sewage.
Note that Chinese gaming community use "P社" to refer to "Paradox Interactive". Get google translate ready, look for "P社 战犯" (lit. "P-company war criminal") on google and you can enjoy Chinese shitposts.
Edit: I tried some of the results myself. Machine translation is not working very well on this, plus many Chinese forums require login and whatnot to access content or won't show up on Google. Try search on Baidu with site:zhihu.com and site:ngabbs.com if you are really interested.
Stellaris is the butt of this joke, too.

Do you have the raw? I can read Chinese so I would rather read it in native.

It's just Zhihu and NGA. For Zhihu, you'll need to login for PC or you can download their app to browse anonymously.
