Blizz, Hong Kong, Freedom of speech, lets have an Adult discussion

Yet they hardly seem to accomplish much if anything. Nothing came of the 2003 Iraq protests, nothing came of Occupy Wall-Street, and so on so forth.

It takes years, years of protests to even start things, and even then you need support from people with power.

The civil rights protests went on for years, had legitimate riots and incidents of police brutality, and even then it only changed when they got the government to force the issue.

Boycotting a company when this is not a company-level phenomenon is stupid.

I never said this sort of thing is easy.

Besides, what do you even care? It’s obvious you don’t appreciate activist work or the things we protest. You just claim it’s stupid and takes years. Take the easy way out and do nothing, it’s probably your standard anyway.

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything

I know when to save my breath and energy. Activists scream like children, march in the streets, and accomplish little. Unless you begin to approach 10% of the population, you’ll scarcely do anything.

"That which offers no resistance,
overcomes the hardest substances.
That which offers no resistance
can enter where there is no space.

Few in the world can comprehend
the teaching without words,
or understand the value of non-action."

“Someone else did something worse so don’t care about this!”

I mean, people beat their children so we shouldn’t worry about people killing someone? What?

Then do whatever the govt tells you like a good little citizen. Also here, enjoy your +100 Social Credit Points.

Lol, so conscientious. Typical Android user.

Apple?
Fujis are the best.
Granny Smiths come in at a close second though. Also you can make really good pies with granny smiths.

Subtlety is what undermines governments. Thank you for showing that you have no argument or legs to stand on.

Such a petty approach by you. Companies have been bowing their knees and modifying products, censoring stuff, etc, etc for years upon years. Companies that make products you have near you all day in your car, at work, at home, etc. It was only when the outrage culture reached the gaming world directly that people latched on. People will forget this in two weeks and move on like nothing happened. The outrage culture is pathetic and you’re pathetic for even trying to bring up the point you laid out.

Yikes. Insults aren’t going to make you look like the smarter party here.

Ah, the typical approach of the weak minded. I could have posted five million lines of factual data, but if I put in a single “stupid” in there people like you would immediately convince themselves they don’t have to reply seriously anymore. Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Posting about not caring about Hong Kong on the Blizzard forums from my iPhone

Indievent, the developer who published that game, Devotion, for the Chinese market, was stripped of its business license by the Chinese government in July.

The original developer, Red Candle Games, is based in Taiwan, so the Chinese government can’t punish them the same way, but RCG has apologized and is opting not to re-release the game for the time being. They say Winnie the Pooh’s appearance in the game was a “malfunction of project management” and not a deliberate act.

Why would I want to bring up my other issues with other companies when this is the Blizzard forums and this is about a Blizzard issue?

Why not both?

I mean, you also didn’t post any information we haven’t already heard here a hundred times in the last few days, so. There’s not much else to take from your post. And you’re also unironically right, one insult pretty much ruins any argument you make and dumbs it down significantly.

Yeah. The ones with logic behind their approach and didn’t latch onto outrage culture.

I’m concerned! It may be…

There’s logic behind your approach? Where?
