While I think this is something that needs milking, and that Blizzard who tried to make an example of a person to itself be made example of.... I actually think your dare is a good dare.

so they can show some folks getting kilt but a pussy lip slip is just the worst

I think you’re inappropriately conflating me with yourself

“I can’t see anything I do making a difference, so I’ll do nothing.” The lazy, nihilistic answer to the question of what we should do in the face of circumstances we find objectionable.

Ah, there’s nothing we can do so we should just let it happen argument. That’s my favorite argument. Why outlaw murder? People will get murdered anyway. Why get out of bed tomorrow, we’re all going to end up in the cold hard ground.

Counterpoint, this blowing up the way it has brings even more attention to it and is a worthwhile thing to discuss and examine. Was it predictable? Yes. Was it acceptable? Absolutely not.

It’s a misstep from a decent human being standpoint, not a business one (in the short term anyway).

And to think some people think that’s fine. I guarantee you ship them back a few decades and they would make excuses for IBM selling computational machines to the Nazis.

Neither, it seems, does the NBA.

This whole situation is proof—for anyone that still needed it—that corporations are not your friends, and they care about nothing apart from profit. China is a golden teat that every major corporation on the planet wants to…

Yeah, China hasn't been communist in quite some time. It's planned capitalism under a bureaucratic dictatorship.

Do you think that policies are just magically handed down from God almighty and beyond judgment? Even if they were “just following the rules,” the rules in this case suppress valid speech and affirm status quo power structures. There are leagues where players are not reprimanded for advocating social justice, like…

“Just think what you would do if that message would have said anything you don’t like instead and you’ll understand what a hypocrite you are”

That Blizzard has been dead many years, maybe you can send them questions by phone... if you have them

The sad thing is:
