Ah, so you really are out of stuff to back any argument you may have had. Enjoy.
Well aware of that. You rejecting common sense doesn’t help either. Blind leading the blind.

Common sense seems to be something you’re lacking if you can’t see the implication behind Blizzard’s arbitrary timing of enforcing certain rules, and the severity of the punishment.

You’ve got it wrong, but once again, mob mentality. Enjoy it.
Ok, when was the last time someone made an openly political statement at a blizzard gaming tournament and didn’t get punished? I’ll wait.
Just buy a “Hello Kitty” shirt, and write “I SUPPORT:” above the Hello Kitty name.
They can’t censor that but people will know you are supporting HK.
There’s no content to even respond to seriously, all you do is reject premises and insist that others prove a negative in a hypothetical situation which is impossible to do.
I’ve seen enough of Chinese influence having lived in Taiwan myself to see the influence the Chinese govt exerts against people that want nothing to do with them. You are probably fooling some people, but not everybody.

I agree. I am just waiting to see what they do they triggers everyone next.
I still remember ‘you think you do, but you really don’t.’ I also remember ‘do you guys not have phones’ haha, I will never get tired of that one.

Wow what divine timing.
Which is why acting like an outcome of a hypothetical situation is a fact is pure stupidity.
Ah, Taiwan. The country that isnt a country because China said so.
China has more influence than its draconian, tyrannical regime should.

They will NOT allow anything that embarrasses them. That includes any signs they don’t want, any questions that humiliate them or even t-shirts that call their support of the Chinese government into question. They will say it is a violation of the tickets, although there is nothing on the ticket purchase about political speech, they will still kick you out for violating something about making the event a safe place.
Plus everyone that attends are white knights and even the laughing at the mobile game last year and questions about it were very controlled.
Cool, and that proves a hypothetical how?
My comment was more aimed at slacktivists, those who do something that in the long run will have no meaningful impact for the sole purpose of virtue signalling or feeling better about themselves.
I do not support totalitarian states, as would be evidenced by the majority of my previous posts where anything political comes up, and also why I am “cruel”, “heartless”, and “uncaring” when I oppose things like egalitarianism and socialist programs, both of which, no matter how good the initial intent may be, lead to (often by necessity) authoritarianism, and eventually totalitarianism.

You keep this up and they’ll have to do full body cavity search.
A thorough… search.
I look forward to the next out of season april fool’s joke
They already gave it to us, mechagnomes.
Not fact, but highly likely.
Let’s follow this.
Blizzard has a huge interest in the Chinese market naturally -> Something related to one of their IP’s speaks negatively of China -> fearing denial of future access to Chinese market Blizzard blanket bans the entire situation
Okay now let’s go with the other approach
Blizzard has a huge interest in the Chinese market naturally -> Something related to one of their IP’s speaks overwhelmingly positive of China -> Blizzard blanket bans this invoking the wrath of the Chinese Government -> likely negatively impacting their business
If you are unable to differentiate the two and see that it is highly unlikely they would have banned somebody for saying “I love China” than I’m unsure what to tell you.
You can go right ahead and try to protest during Blizzcon but don’t get upset when you’re shown the door cause that is what is going to happen…Blizzard is a private company paying to use that area…enjoy you boot out the door.
