He got banned for breaking the rule about using the platform for a personal cause. They are saying it was not about China, they are saying that if he said "MAGA" or if he said "GO BERNIE" the results would have been the same. And also that if he went on his twitch, his facebook, Twitter or yahoo video to make his statement, nothing would have happened in the first place. Also the broadcasters were aware of what he was going to say ahead of time, they even tried to hide when he said it which is not their jobs as commentators.What a fucking awful statement. If he didn't get banned for the content of the message then what did he get banned for???
Thanks, and no worries. A lot of people are newly attentive to all this (that's the point!) and everyone is picking it up as they go along.
They'll play by China's book and just confiscate anything that looks like protesting material at entrances and only have scripted Q/A sessions this time.
That warm fuzzy narrative being standing for literal human rights against a government running concentration camps and organ harvesting. You have to try hard to be this dense.Even Blitz knew he was breaking the rules and was ready to accept the punishment for what he did. People on here want to say fuck rules because the rules fuck with the warm fuzzy narrative that they want.

Nothing Blizzard could have said would have changed any minds here. Blitz knew he was breaking the rule, and he was ready to take a punishment for it. Blizzard went should have just gone with a small slap on the wrist and let him keep his money in the first place.
Oh I'm not saying they will manage to get everything lol. Just saying they'll try their hardest.
Gotta keep the mainland China government happy if you want to keep raking in that Chinese cheddar.Like, who is harmed or discriminated against when someone is pro HK? How do you possibly punch downwards with that sentiment? Please educate me.
True. Let's hope people attending are motivated by the time this goes down.I just don't see how they can pull that off...unlike in China, they can't just disappear people here.
Protest shirts under sweatshirts, backpacks, I don't think they can possibly catch much if people are motivated.
I just don't understand why the Casters are still being penalised. Am I missing something here?
You failed your employees you cravens.
Has that post been deleted yet? I would like to see some journalists push Blizzard to explain this.
J. Allen Brack President of Blizzard Entertainment said:I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision
Why did American University get no punishment for their pro HK protest on stream then? Strange how Blitzchung got a one year ban + no prize money and they got nothing of the sorts. Just as weird as the "we protect the pride of our country" statement. It's almost as if Tencent has Blizzard by it's balls and it wasn't about their dumb ToS in the first place. How about you stop peddling this bullshit narrative.Even Blitz knew he was breaking the rules and was ready to accept the punishment for what he did.

how about if he said trans rights, ban warranted? gay rights? women's rights? just wondering where the line is for youEven Blitz knew he was breaking the rules and was ready to accept the punishment for what he did.

Yup, at 8:20 PM Eastern / 5:20 PM Pacific, give or take a minute or two.

He got banned for breaking the rule about using the platform for a personal cause. They are saying it was not about China
I really don't believe them, but at least they gave him his prize money back, which he earned and deserved regardless.
So these rules that Blizzard and everyone suddenly adhere so closely to, why didn't Blizzard ban the team from American University?Even Blitz knew he was breaking the rules and was ready to accept the punishment for what he did. People on here want to say fuck rules because the rules fuck with the warm fuzzy narrative that they want.
