After reading what you’ve written I’m forced to conclude this…
…is quite possibly not true.

Check out my twitter (if you can find it) :V
I am doing the nervous laugh thing. You know the one when your antiquated relative comes to visit. I can’t say that I miss work more after coming home to read that post, freedom to hate is all that denotes.
I think the demonization of China is ridiculous in a lot of ways.
1-They actually do support gay rights and changing your gender in China, though they don’t allow it to happen to children, and I know it’s controversial but I agree with that decision. That if you still want a sex change at 20, adulthood, it’s still allowed. So the government is anti-gay people at all, it just doesn’t want gender confusion thrown onto children, that’s all it is. But from my point of view, this is actually a very progressive policy.
2-A world class transport system in China
3-The irony also is that China has relaxed drinking laws because they don’t have all the drunks causing a ruckus and swearing at people like we do in the west.
4-A very low crime rate in China.
Let’s be honest, China is one of the safest countries in the world to visit. Tourists are very safe, especially at night, unlike in the bogan suburbs of Australia.
So I think we should be careful before we get any ideas of promoting ‘democracy’ on some other country.

Safe… except for y’know… the concentration camps and the people that “Mysteriously disappear” when they do something the government doesn’t like.
Yeah, that’s kinda where I am.

Like import illegal drugs, yes.
It’s people like you that make the survivors of the horrors committed in the 1940’s seem like they survived nothing. Kicking people out of our country who are here illegally versus an actual attempt to make an entire group extinct by invasion.
Where do you guys go with this… this madness?

More like talk about things the government doesn’t like like doing a bbc interview about being kept in one of their mandatory “re-education camps”
China is the modern day ‘Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei’ with the sheer number of human rights violations they commit.

Yeah, look, for every human right violation China has committed, I could call out countless others the Moral West has committed, I don’t think can claim to be perfect at this point.
Nobody is perfect. Not America, Not China, Not England, nobody. Anybody who tries to act like they never did wrong is a liar.

Doesn’t excuse the evil going on. Dont know why people seem to think comparing the two makes concentration camps somehow okay because “'Merica is horrible too”

I will have to skip blizzcon because of this situation.
I feel like there are a few people who are really interested in the hong kong situation but I think it’s just about the hate this company has been getting for months are pushing people to protest about this but I highly suspect they are doing this because of hong kong.
But yeah, darkest times.
You can go and protest during blizzcon
I know Grawr will take a leave of absence and protest
Protesting at Blizzcon won’t accomplish anything. The real decision makers at the business level probably won’t show their faces there. The people who do the QnA’s are developers, artists, and music creators. Drilling them about China is a ridiculous idea. They have no control over the business decisions made several pay tiers up from them.
But thats the thing people dont want to care about. They want a chance to “stick it to Blizz” and will stomp all over innocent people to do it, because some youtuber told them to.
Those artists and developers are their to show off the work they’ve been pour the past year of their lives into, and to share that work with everyone and bring to light what they have in store for the future of the games. They want to come out and show these things because they love the games as much as the players. So going in there and taking a dump on them for something completely out of their control is just disgusting.
I hope anyone who goes in there with the intent to cause trouble gets escorted out and banned for life from the event.

I would like to believe that the people planning to protest are doing so because they know there’ll be a lot of media attention there to get the ‘free Hong Kong’ message out.
But with the amount of people who have shown they have no intent to actually boycott China, no interest in liberating Hong Kong and are clearly just using this as a chance to vent hate on Blizzard with a crowd of like-minded people…
Yea if people show up, it’s gonna be a big mess.

Completely unaware some of those you’re white knighting for are protesting too.
I’m aware many of them protested, hence the umbrella protest outside Blizz HQ and covering sections of the statue as well. If people wanna call me a “white knight” for defending people who had nothing to do with the business decisions concerning China but will also face most of the backlash from those decision at Blizzcon then so be it.

shrug just don’t tell people they can’t have a voice because their ideaologies don’t really benefit others.
Someone’s going to burn for this, and Blizzard, might see the ire they’ve stirred first hand.
