You seem to confuse my voice for more lawful/reasonable actions with me siding with the Chinese government. But what can i expect. You all go on with your bandwagons, apparently we need more chaos and erratic actions. Seems like that is the only thing that we can use lately to solve problems. My thoughts and prayers for the Hong Kong people who are under assault from the Chinese government. No but seriously, any violation of human rights is not okay. The movement he called out is alright, just, do we really have to put politics in games? Sure, there is always some political views. Nothing can be completely without it since it is part of how we view the world. But like this? I'd rather see the players announcing they are gonna use that prize money to support the Hong Kong movement or like for aid in that area. But showing a sign saying "Liberate Hong Kong" during post-game commentary, is that really gonna help? The people he reached with his action where those already supporting the movement (whom are now outraged he got banned and all that). Just saying, there are plenty of other, more effective and not as disruptive ways to help the movement. If you want a chaotic approach, actually act against the Chinese government directly. Go fight them in Hong Kong or something, anything other then just screaming out "Liberate Hong Kong" in a post-game interview after a Hearthstone tournament game. |

to quote a great man, "We need less politics in games, and more gamers in politics!" |

Riot completely ignored this in their statement |
