I just think games should not push real world politics, period. This applies to that stream thing, and also to this thing you are talking about.

>Which is so open ended that it's impossible to not break it if you have an opinion and are speaking to a global audience.

You are a professional player in a tournament, you should not use an official stream to spew political opinions... or opinions of any other kind.

...and? I'm just offering an explanation, I didn't say they should "git gud".

He lost his job for using an official stream to push his politics. That's a huge difference that everybody is deciding to ignore for some reason... outrage culture I guess.

I'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.

Hmm, reminds me that a loooong time ago I used a Linux distro that had a log viewer, and the icon of the log viewer was a pile of lumber logs.

"Human rights" = politics. Blizzard can choose what they broadcast using their streams. I'm sure if someone decided to wear a tshirt with a fasces in it you'd agree... but since this is on the other side of the spectrum of politics, you disagree. Honestly, very short-sighted.

>Into your message is built the assumption that all "politics" is the same.

Not really: there are politics I agree with and politics I disagree with. That doesn't mean that I believe Blizzard should give a loudspeaker to those who agree with me. I think that's stupid because it could turn against me at some point. Some people seem not to think ahead.

I doubt Raymond cares, it's not like they are going to fire him.

Seems reasonable that they don't want to allow players to push their politics using the official Blizzard streams. They are free to do so in their spare time.

What do you think Blizzard would do if some guy wore a MAGA hat in an official stream?
