Just wondering but how many of the "boycott Blizzard" people are boycotting anything and everything associated with China?

Yes it's unrealistic to boycott everything China and very few people actually are.



Around the Network

It is going to be easy for me because I don't really buy many Blizzard games. I was kind of looking forward to the new Warcraft III and maybe Diablo III once I got a Switch, but I think I will just pass on those. I have so many other games to play that there is no reason for me to support a company that pulls bullshit like this.

curious about your stance on Scotland's and Northern Ireland independence from the UK lol

I'm sure you'll be really consistent there

I support their right to independence, now is that so hard ? I wouldn't have it any other way for Catalonia or Padania ...

By comparison, neoliberal progressives do not deserve to see a world where Hong Kong is independent since most of them are hypocritical about these issues to promote their own pathetic brand of unity. If they are only interested in waging an ideological war then they should be prepared to risk paying the ultimate price ... 

There is no solidarity in forcing regime change to foreign entities so neoliberal progressives come off as nothing more than being selfish ...

Again pick one, it's either unity or independence ...

Of course, it's because you have cognitive dissonance ...

Or you're just talking nonsense.

There's nothing contradictory about supporting Hong Kong and being against Brexit, the comparison between EU and CCP is one of the most ridiculous comments I've seen on VGC but you have a habit of shitting up threads by making ridiculous comparisons or exaggerations and I'm growing tired of it.

Consider that a warning.


Yes it absolutely is contradictory. It's obvious you and the others here show clear favouritism over other independence movements if it only suits your ideological view ...

Well guess what, the CPC isn't the only one with anti-democratic institutions! The EU has anti-democratic institutions as well and are you going to turn a blind eye to that as well for your own benefit ?!



Count me in on the boycotters. This makes me feel bad for owning Diablo III on Switch now. That's my last Blizzard game, then (but I wasn't a big fan of them anyway, and Diablo is boring af).

I firstly dissagree with you saying it is contradictory but even when you are right about that, does it disclaim people being right about protesting for Hong Kongs human rights?

In another thread you thought you had disproven cllimate change because you could point out a few populistic politicians being wrong while completely ignoring the science behind it so i'm just saying that you connect the wrong information to convince yourself being in the right about these sort of things.



You know what's more authoritarian than China and the EU?
VGC!

Yeah, cause the EU is totally the same as the CCP, they too are acting like a Nazi regime, committing genocide on Uyghurs, forceful organ harvesting, running concentration camps, violating multiple human rights, I too am afraid of the EU extradition bill where UK will deport me to Germany if I speak negatively about them and I'll never be seen again.

EU is super scary, totally the same thing as CCP, being apart of the European Union is totally the same thing as CCP trying to encroach on Hong Kong. God I fear for my life living in EU, and Brexit was totally voted for the same reasons as the reasons the Hong Kong people are fighting for cause all movements are the exactly the same, right?

Speaking as someone who was on the fence at the start of Brexit, who lives in UK and is now anti-Brexit for various reasons which I won't get into, not only are you talking complete and utter nonsense, your comparison of the EU to CCP is frankly offensively ridiculous.

Again, brush up on your knowledge of what the Hong Kong people are fighting for.

And I'll say again, I'm not going to debate the specifics of Brexit with you since firstly this isn't the thread for that, secondly, I've seen you around the site more than enough to see that it's like talking to a brick wall, anything said will be met with a ridiculous rebuttal, as the basis of this whole debate is on.

Actually, why am I bothering right now.

Committing genocide on Uyghurs ? That's news to me, do you actually have a source to back this claim up or is this irrational fear mongering on your part ? 

The only good thing that the EU has over the CPC is an exit mechanism for now ...

Why the fuck on earth are you creating a strawman here ? 

I have NEVER claimed that the science behind climate change was ever wrong ...

The only disagreement that I have about climate change is whether or not it poses as an issue ...
