I’ve read Mark’s tweets and was interested to learn from him more information about the Hong Kong/China controversy.
However, that aside, it was Blizzard’s contest and their rules and the player knowingly violated them. He knew he was not given the mic to make a political speech, but he did so anyway.
It’s like you don’t accept half of what happened. How 2 casters got sacked, how his punishment is higher than a cheater and how vague was the reason they gave to the US and how political the statement was in China.
So by threatening to deleted account or unsub is going help?
Yes, point is we are talking about how China is so oppressive while we literally doing much worse in the Middle East - people actually die, just doesn’t make sense to me.
This is the “weird and convoluted” part
I accept what happened and believe Blizzard was entirely in its rights to take the action it did. I recognize that you disagree.
No, actually unsubbing will
I recognize that you have lose morals. It’s not because you have the right to do something that you should do it.
it’s only that many because a couple hours ago they combined pretty much probably 10 or 12 threads all into one. It’s seriously chaotic and none of the conversation is even remotely following anything.I think they were just trying to contain the dozen-or-so threads that we’re getting posted. Even though as soon as they made this one people started posting new one so we’ll have to see how that goes. I honestly don’t think that anything that gets said in here is going to make a bit of difference to anyone anywhere at any time of any importance and so we’re all just basically doing what we do over the LFR and Pathfinder nonsense which is saying nasty crap to each other when it ain’t going to change anything. Complete waste of time
But why fire the two casters, too? Banning him would be one thing, but revoking the prize money and banning the casters interviewing him too is just evil.
even if true (which it’s not)
Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/; Latin for “you also”), or the appeal to hypocrisy, is a fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).
Chinese shills still can’t explain this, strange. Did the taiwan flag break the rules too? lmao.
Sure. Deleting your account shows that you are sincere in your commitment not to support Blizzard.
Donating your sub money to the cause of “free Hong Kong” would demonstrate your devotion to the cause.
Otherwise, it’s just talk.
Im agreeing with everything youre saying bro. My point was to reinforce yours that the major news sources finding anything and everything newsworthy and twisting it for click and views is all they do.
Nice parsing.
Point: the ‘punishment’ was WAY over the top! Kicking the guy out, ok. But seizing his winnings AND banning him for year, and all the rest? No.
Point: Blizzard’s steadfast proclamation that this was done for the Chinese Government’s benefit? Rereading your post, you act like that never happened.
Self-censorship is one thing; denial is another.
And if he said that in Trade chat or Battleground chat he be getting a pat on the back or shrugged off like it never happened people don’t care about chat channels and it shows. I mean I heard some really sick stuff in those chats that no human should say and nothing was done.
This is the hypocrite part ignoring random chat channels and not enforcing rules on them. And for one time one guys speaks his mind he gets banned.
This totally confirms he’s a WoW player. +1 respect in my book.
The lesson is that sometimes rules are created that have unintended results.
The sooner you guys realize your “perspective” is less than 48 hours old, the better. You act like you’re on the cutting edge of activism when you’re so late to the party it’s painful to watch you strut around like you’ve accomplished something.
Well yeah, they all get the “news” from the same source every morning: secure-drop – with all your daily talking points pre-gurgitated.
Many of us are doing that, Velara. Will you join us to help Hong Kong?
