Yet their actual owner says that 40% doesn’t influence how they express themselves since he’s the controlling owner. It makes no sense to call them out until they’ve actually censored someone or punished someone for expressing their opinion. Riot has done this. Epic hasn’t as far as I know. So why call out Epic and…

Why you calling out Epic? They specifically said they wouldn’t ban anyone for what Blitzchung did. Are you thinking of Riot?

You seriously think Hearthstone has a bigger presence in China than MtG? MtG has had a presence in Asia for decades. They regularly have Grand Prix in Shanghai and Beijing. Tencent publishes MTGA in many countries in Asia. 

While Senators are part of congress, it’s customary to refer to Senators as Senators and not Congressmen. “Congressmen” generally refers to members of the House of Representatives. Wyden and Rubio are US Senators so they should be referred to as US Senators Ron Wyden and Marco Rubio. 

The more you do that the more pathetic you look. It’s like you’re stuck in an elementary school mentality.

You think that’s an attack? I said your tantrum makes you look pathetic. I didn’t call you names. I was basically saying you shouldn’t do shit like that if you don’t wanna look weak. It’s weird how you think that’s an attack. Or are you talking about me saying your argument was shitty? That’s also not an attack. It’s…

Someone must have hurt you pretty badly growing for you to have such a hostile reaction to people who didn’t attack you. I hope you get some help to deal with your anger issues.

Yeah. It frustrates me that people see staying silent as being neutral. Like as if keeping the status quo and preserving the current power structures in play wasn’t in itself picking a side. Chinese government would like nothing more than other the rest of the world to not talk about their bullshit. So staying silent…

Something being political is completely defined by how the political parties picked a side on something. It’s pretty US-centric to assume that it’s not political to support it in itself. It’s incredibly political in countries where people are legally put in jail for being gay. Or even in countries where you are a…

Problem I have with that gun is it uses special ammo for an effect that isn’t that much better than a legendary hand cannon with the anti barrier mod. Maybe it’ll be way better once the undying mods go away though. Sunshot feels like a better hand cannon and it doesn’t use special ammo. 

Calling someone a moron for calling out your shitty ass argument makes you look pathetic for getting overly defensive and hostile for no reason.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say that they were violently upset. And you also underestimate game of thrones fans. 

Imagine you’re watching Game of Thrones for 8 seasons and on season 8 one of the Starks randomly started talking about another sibling they never mentioned before. 

True. But I sometimes struggle with the notion that we expect other cultures to understand and respect our views on racism but we don’t really bother trying to respect theirs. 

I really hate those arguments about people not doing enough being hypocrites. So if I donate money for a charity, I’m a hypocrite if I don’t give all my money and my free time to the charity? You can’t make a statement without going whole hog? It’s insane. Personally refusing to buy clothes made in China isn’t a…

Only one line in that entire statement admits any wrongdoing on their part:

Just because someone doesn’t conform to your moral standards doesn’t make them a hypocrite. It’s like if say your school had a sexual misconduct scandal that involved people at the top trying to cover it up or brush it off but it came to light eventually that the coach or one of the medical support staff was the…

You seem to not know what protesting means if you think it does nothing. The fact that we’re talking about it means it did something. It’s just you and people like you that have some arbitrary sense of principle that think someone has to clear some arbitrarily high bar to not be hypocrites. Seriously, I’ve seen people…

Why is it hypocritical? Forfeiting a game is a self imposed punishment. Just because you don’t quit the game forever doesn’t make it hypocritical. Kibler isn’t a hypocrite for playing HS after his statement about stepping down from his caster role for Blizzcon. Playing the game isn’t a statement of endorsement. He…

Would it? No matter what action? What if the action was taking back the previous punishment and making a serious and heartfelt apology admitting that they fucked up and give him a more fitting punishment and convey that they support democracy and diverse opinions?
