There is nothing one person alone can do to stop evil in the world. May as well just give up. :man_shrugging:

Social justice frauds.

Might makes right. Don’t like it? Get a stronger military and make the US stop.

implying that China isn’t interfering with other countries politics?

Your understanding of global politics is embarrassingly shallow.

It’s perfectly tenable. Their property; their tournament; their rules.

To say that a private organization has no right to determine what activities are permitted at their events seems rather totalitarian and oppressive.

I didn’t know that disliking China dictating how a video game company operates is “being political”.

China does have one thing we wish we did:
Better Forsaken models. Theirs look way better. I’m just sayin’.

You didn’t know that starting a thread about politics in a forum designated for discussion of a specific videogame is “being political”.

Okay.

So you’re cool with the Chinese government dictating what Blizzard can and cannot do?

PRC GANG, WHERE WE AT BOIIIS

I’m cool with Blizzard deciding what topics belong on the private forum whose rules we all agreed to.

If you prefer forum vandalism, well, I get that.

… Were they trying to parody “Old West” trope music on purpose, or was this entirely by coincidence?

The whole issue is political and doesn’t belong on these forums. Don’t give them the satisfaction of knowing they disrupt the gaming community…along with everything else they trifle with. We can put the energy somewhere else where it matters. Never give up hope that someday they will be able to express themselves without fear.

I’m fine with people complaining about the actions of a company on that company’s website.

If you look at the responses its far leftists defending China. Basically proof that they are anti American in their mindset/ideology.

So much falsehood in this thread.
Saying that the only reason he got banned is he was critical of China is hyperbole and not facts.
Nobody has done it so nobody knows but based on Blizzard’s stated rules that the player agreed to if he had said he stood with China against Hong Kong the outcome would have been the same.
He used his interview time as a political soap box after agreeing not to.

Not that simple and that’s why theres current lawsuits against companies like Twitter. Turns out, no you can’t selectively discriminate against conservatives just because its “your property your rules”.

If rules aren’t applied fairly then they are pointless.

The simple fact you can’t criticize China or be banned forever should be very scary for you but apparently you are fine with it. What else are you ok with, him being locked up as a political prisoner?

This will happen and I don’t think it will be too long before we start seeing that.

After all:

“ORANGE MAN BAD!”
