You know that the Falun Gong people who have their organs taken die, right?
Blizzard does not monitor chat channels in-game. However, if any such comment was made and reported, you can rest assured that Blizzard would act on it.
What you feel as an individual and your personal level of offense is irrelevant. Sometimes people go off script at Blizzard events. Blizzard as a corporation has to at least make the appearance of protecting its brand.
No, because I am involved in helping causes closer to home and these take up my “political” time. Besides, HK has autonomy for the next several decades and it isn’t actually a problem that has yet come to fruition 
Which is why I said hypocrite. They don’t monitor the chat bars on what people say.

Your news is, by your own admission, from the WoW forums and you judge its severity by how many threads there are about it lmao.
You can’t even begin to judge other people that actually know how to navigate the internet when your idea of whether something is newsworthy or not is whether it had more threads on the WoW forums than “bring back flying” did in 2015.

I seriously doubt that.
Are they an American brand or a Chinese brand?
If Blizzard is an American brand, we are more than right to criticize them for abandoning American values.
If Blizzard is a Chinese brand, we are more than right to criticize them for being hostile to American values.

I said that. But if you report offensive chat, Blizzard will take action. They won’t tell you what action they’ve taken. But over the years I have reported such posts and witnessed them being reported and funnily, the offending players disappear from chat. Now is it because they got banned, or warned? Dunno.
It seems they have just blocked any way to delete your account. The #boycottBlizzard movement is getting more and more interesting.
I don’t know if this is ground for a lawsuit but this doesn’t seem right.

I am not judging anything.
I am merely separating issues.
On the one hand, yes China is an oppressive regime.
On the other hand, the player violated the contest rules and was imho appropriately punished.
These views are not mutually exclusive.
Also I saw the interview so I don’t need the “news media” to explain what I saw and clearly understood.
The player was wearing a mask and a goggles when the interview begun, which is a very significant symbol of supporting HK protest. The two caster knew it clearly and they said: “We know what you are going to talk, just say the solgan and we will end this interview.”. So you can see actullay the two caster had a chance to stop the interview immediately when they found out what he wanna do but they chose to let it happen. In some ways the casters are more responsible for this matter.

this will take you to the page that instructs how to perma delete your account.
I was serious.
You can go back to earning your social credits.
And your pessimism is noted. Sincere devotion often starts as something small and builds into a massive moment. Blizzard put a face to the HK revolt in the eyes of gamers. Now forever more Blizzard will be associated with a brutal Communist government and frankly I hope they fall to pieces for it. The release of an official statement saying how Blizzard stands with China “For the Pride of OUR government” is where I say Blizzard as it stands is hopeless and will not support this company with any money moving forward. I was really looking forward to 8.3 as well.

Interesting observation.
All you need to do is join a random whatever not all the time but someone out of like 10 or 20 will post garbage comments in intent to insult someone. I see it in majority of LFR and Random Battlegrounds.
Just read the chat bar. What some people say is cringe worthy. And Blizzard allows that kind of talk.
Orly?
Welp you’re right.
Sure showed us all.

Lol, a few hours ago I put up a post questioning whether or not Blizz should relocate their HQ to China since their corporate values were more inline with Chinese government values than US values. Not surprisingly that post was deleted by Blizz.
