Well, since Mei is becoming a symbol of the HK protests they might (:
They can delete her, sure. But they can keep doing that with any other characters of their games until nothing is left.
No way out if people get serious about this.

Was it a limited edition? (It really is gone)
Not as far as I can tell
It seems it wasnāt a limited time exclusive. Holy poops.
EDIT: The other figurines are still up, however. Will have to keep an eye on those.
CM: āOops people are still talking about the horrible thing we did. MERGE TIME!ā

Hey we are getting a exclusive chinese riot gear skin for Brig for shilling, join in!
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
I never realized how based LOTRs was till i grew up
Also:
Two months back Blizzard had added words related to the HK protests to the WoW chinese profanity filters. You can see the list inside the link.
It was clear what side they were on even then.
It also seems the word Winnie the Pooh caused temp bans, as well.

Have you even read blizzard ToS? Literally anything anyone says can be considered ābreaking ToSā as long as blizzard considers it offensive or making them look bad. In this case it threatened their money so they took action. Ironically blizzard ToS isnāt far off from Chinese laws. āIf you say something that makes our government look bad or offends a group of people you will be punished!ā. If this was a US law would you still agree with it then? If you canāt support freedom of speech you canāt call yourself an American. Or maybe you just canāt get behind this movement cause you canāt lose your precious video games. Either way, pathetic.

theres been one or two people saying it something to do with communism, and i just want to say
capitalism is ābadā and the āchinese communist partyā is capitalist

Mei has a Ping Pong emote. Ping Pong sounds like Hong Kong.
Mei has a bee-keeping costume. Winnie the Pooh is a joke symbol of Chinaās King.
She is Chinese, yet is used as a symbol of Hong Kong support.
Isnāt that A-Mei-Zing? I wonder if the name Mei will get banned in China if we meme it enough.
Yeah, from what Iāve seen and heard, Chinaās government is structured like a fascist, totalitarian oligarchy.
But the economy is a hybrid between a capitalist and command economy; there are many āprivateā Chinese companies, but nearly all of them answer to the CCP in some capacity.
Someone correct me if Iām wrong.
Even if the name gets banned the character will still exist. Theyāll probably end up banning the character altogether if this gains enough traction.
Not that this will stop it. Once Mei is banned there they can just choose another character to represent it.
