I’ve been seeing this trend in multilingual communities getting mass downvoted for posting content not in American English, and it's affecting how people interact with respective communities that post non ACE posts.

One huge e.g. was Sword of Legends 4 coverage. The raw sources were massdownvoted. Meanwhile an ACE corporation got inversely upvoted for secondary sourcing information.

Is threadiverse really this xenophobic?
Or is there something we can do about this?

Are the languages of the posts getting tagged correctly? Most readers will not see foreign language posts by default UNLESS the poster failed to tag the language, in which case it's on them.

Edit: Looking at the posts OP linked, they were tagged English while being foreign language. That's blatantly wrong, and I would have downvoted them too.
