What the hell is even going on with everyone's outfits. It looks like they all hit random on hipster sim character creation (not in a good way if I'm not being clear).

That guy is wearing an OppoSuit and their entire business model is built on people being willing to drop a hundred bucks on a suit just so they can wear it to a party or the office and be The Wacky Guy so I'm guessing it was some sort of costume party or they were making a video or something.

I have no idea what the Blizzard/China thing is about, but disrupting US companies doing business with China is praxis as gently caress.

The tl;dr is that Blizzard did the one thing angry adolescents and manchildren from all across the US Political Spectrum can agree on-- give them a reason to say "gently caress you Dad don't tell me what I can't say."

You don’t need details, it’s just this. Always some variation of this:

Western entertainment companies make crazy concessions to keep selling their slurry to the huge rear end bougie Chinese market, this flips bits in the heads of western babyfolk and suddenly they care about injustice (as it pertains to their slurry).

Until they forget about it because the sequel to the injustice is released.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a lovely head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
