A little bit of context (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy)

In 2019, competitive Hearthstone player Blitzchung was removed from a tournament and banned from future tournaments for displaying a sign saying "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" in accordance with Blizzard's policy against political protest during events

Now that they've Targeted Gamers, there was a massive outrage, and the hearthstone community got pissed, so they protested in the following ways:

-Pretending to delete their account

-Preparing for some big protest at Blizzcon

-Some weird scheme to associate Overwatch's Chinese character Mei with Hong Kong protests, in hopes of getting Overwatch censored in China (obviously didn't do anything, based on the myth that Winnie the Pooh is banned in China)

-And most importantly, making big posts about how mad they are

Eventually, Blizzcon rolled around, no protest materialized, and they announced Overwatch 2, so everyone let this die, everyone let Hong Kong be forgotten. A stunning example of Reddit activism, I'll never forget it

What was this guy's problem? Why was he such a liberal in c/[email protected]

What's unrealistic about this scene? I'm sure any teenager would act the same way when faced with a mounted turret

Isekai anime are stories where a person is transported from the normal world into a fantasy one, where they are often incredibly powerful and have many girlfriends

It's about a video game npc that becomes self aware, I think they're trying to copy The Truman Show where everyone reacts to him being free

This has to be what reeducation camps are made for, right? Do you think he could be taught that his porn addiction isn't a personality trait, or that forcing him to talk to other humans his age would eventually transform him into a productive member of society?

"30 year old openly attracted to anime children" is one of the most disgusting types of people I can imagine, I wonder if there's any hope for them

Imagine suffering from decades of oppression from the Japanese and then your "liberators" force you to speak English, a language you've never heard in your life. Just horrible

Anyone else feel they've gone from demsoc to ML to Maoist/Third Worldist in less than 2 years? in c/[email protected]

This doesn't seem incompatible with Maoism at all. Gotta adapt to your conditions and shit

In Xcom1 you basically play as a swat team against alien "terrorists", and then i think you play as cops in Chimera Squad. Xcom2 is that real shit

You play as a multiethnic resistance group that performs guerrilla warfare against an overwhelmingly powerful oppressor. Feels like a leftist dogwhistle, even if realistically its normal #resistance
