Blizzard China Defends Decision To Ban Blitzchung, Says They Will Always Defend “the pride of our country”

[Harlequin]

It's unsurprising that Chinese Blizzard employees are saying this. Not only are many Chinese citizens so brainwashed that they actually believe their government's bullshit, even the ones who aren't need to at least pretend they are in public or else things might get dangerous for them. So yeah, I wouldn't blame whoever put out this statement at Blizzard China, I'd blame the head honchos in the US who aren't doing anything about this shitshow and are continuously trying to silence people instead of apologising and righting their fucking wrongs.

Blizzard China, you definitely win my respect, and I will always support your game.
This is my freedom of expression.

I am Chinese, who lives in Europe.
And due to this, I have access to the news from 2 sides, China media and Western media.
I wouldn't say all the news from China media is the truth, but I can definitely say the news from Western media about China is not always truth.
What happened in Hong Kong is a big mess.
Look at the destroyed shops, destroyed banks, destroyed public transportation and destroyed street.
Ordinary people's life is heavily affected and the economy will be negatively impacted. At the end, the people who will suffer from this is Hong Kong people.
Really hope Hong Kong government can put this into an end and Hong Kong can go back to its peaceful days.

I understand I will be the minor in Era. But I really think i need to defend my country, so many unfair criticism to my country.

And in the end, I welcome Era members to visit my country.
It is not as same as described on the western media.
We don't have Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc, but we have our own social networks and people living in China do not miss Facebook, Youtube, etc.
We have our free lives. Just come to our country and to experience it.

Admittedly, I don't own BFV, but I will test the chat filter in BF1 assuming they use the same automatic chat filter.

From your posts, can we infer that it would be "weird" for you to censor things like Tiananmen Square massacre and liberate Hong Kong?

I don't think BF1 has a chat filter. Not that I remember at least.
