Truly i dont care what goes on in america, but it has turned political there.
Have you read their website? They straight up admit they are a Marxist org and want to get rid of the nuclear family.
BLM doesnât care about black lives unless a white person was involved in ending it, they care about white action, not black lives.
And naming themselves âBlack Lives Matterâ was a smart move, because, and Iâll break this down for oyu, you canât say youâre against them without sounding racist.
Do actual black lives matter, as in black people walking about just going through life? Damn straight they do, of course they do, to suggest otherwise is insane.
Do i support BLM the org? No I do not. Anything that wants to unmake the nuclear family, and upend democary for marxism is not a good thing. Top this off with BLM protestors demanding people stop saying all lives matter? They can all get in the sea.
sorry bud, conspiracy theories arenât my thing. take the tinfoil hat off.
Which thing did I list that was anti-human rights? Who decides if the cause is right or wrong? You literally play warcraft, a game about perspective and yet the solipsim you display here of âwell what i like has to be rightâ is staggering.
You mean white people that hijack the movement, break things and start riots? Or the Black people that have enough of the oppression of white people and tried peaceful approaches that didnât work? Also, doesnât seem like even 10% is rioting and looting. Iâm not from the USA and media reporting is poorly done. From what I can see the vast majority is peaceful.
âCancel cultureâ is just boycotting, itâs nothing new, your parents probably did it at some point, you probably did it at some point. âPC cultureâ is a right wing dogwhistle for not wanting to âgive inâ to minorities that are fighting for equal rights.
Governments are the definition of politics and political movements.
Again, youâre basing your opinions on something thatâs not the current state. And again, peaceful protests donât work. Remember when they kneeled? How much did that help? Remember those peaceful protests that received full police aggression? The vast majority of BLM is peaceful, except you donât want to focus on that.
They have not been donating to a criminal organization They havenât even been donating to BLM directly. BLM is a global movement to support and fight for Black lives. There are dozens, if not hundreds of ways to support Black lives. There are hundreds of different organizations that help Black people, this is what Blizzard donated to.
Antifa is not an organization. Antifa comes from âAntifaschistische Aktionâ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion
. If you think they âhijackedâ movements, then you seem to be into conspiracy theories. Being anti-fascist is a good thing, itâs an idea, not a movement. Antifa has no leader, it has no membership.
Nobody said that. People are still fighting for Hong Kong, especially Australia and New Zealand by offering ease of access to their countries are moving there. Blizzard canât do this, the USA would have to do this on National level. Do you think the USA would ever do that?
Black people are racially profiled in the majority of EU countries, especially the UK. Police brutality might not be as bad as in the US, itâs still there. It might not happen as frequently, itâs still there.
Shame to see how many people believe in conspiracy theories on these forums.
If you start calling support for diversity âpolitical correctnessâ or just âpoliticsâ, then yes, gaming gets mixed with politics. Besides of gaming always being politics up to a certain degree.
A video game company should do all thatâs within their power to help minorities. Racism, Xenophobia, hate against LGBTQ+, hate against people with disabilities etc are a big thing in-game as well.
This
It isnât âhijackedâ by Antifa, nothing wrong being anti-fascist. As a matter of fact, being against Antifa is wrong because it means youâre anti-anti-fascist.
As I mentioned before, cancel culture is boycotting. People that donât agree with you, will boycott.
In fact, youâre wrong. You can oppose a company for supporting a certain movement. Youâre 100% allowed to disagree and stop using their services.
Not all lives matter until black lives matter. You really donât get it, do you?
They do it because its trendy and thats also the reason why most people who have no idea what theyâre talking about in terms of politics take a strong stand on these things and thats because itâs a popular opinion and they want to tell everyone so they can get a pat on the shoulder for being a âgoodâ human being. And itâs hilarious how companies facebook page in the middle east for example doesnt have a pride logo but of course it has in EU/NA so itâs just about money at the end of the day, the real idiots are the ones who support them without questioning anything.
You are absolutelty right mate but nowadays companies think they can dictate morality, change society based on what fits them and even rule the world
I just donât want for my journey in Azeroth to be interrupted by real life events, got it?
Blizzard did when they banned Blitzcheung, then saying âDonât get politicalâ, only for then to immediately flip around on their heel and declare a political stance on LGBT rights and black people.
Now, I support the rights of all 3 of those groups, but the double-standard was astonishing. Blizzard had to apologise for it.
Iâve seen little evidence of this, but if it is happening, it should stop. It wonât stop by assaulting 13 police officers though.
The reason theyâre disproportionately targeted is that theyâre disproportionally in London, which has a high crime rate. Thereâs a list of police killings on Wikipedia.
And as for Denmark: Bwalya Sørensen. Look her up. Disgusting woman. There is nothing happening here that can justify what sheâs doing.
Partial quoting, how cool. âNot all lives matter until Black lives matterâ.
I have an ideology, one where white people are not oppressors.
Itâs 100% boycotting with a fancy name so people can cry about it and blame it on âpolitical correctnessâ.
It literally means anti-fascist. Youâre a special kind of dumb.
Iâm paying a lot of attention and Iâm not seeing riots. If this would be the case, America would be in a civil war right now.
Me neither, until someone starts using slurs because of my sexuality, gender, abilities etc. Weâre players, real people. Real life will always have an effect in games.
Thatâs the Chinese version of blizzard, not the US one afaik. And yes, I highly disagree with the initial ban.
It is happening, Black (and non-whites) are reporting this.
Initially Blizzard HQ backed them up. Got an internal revolt over it and lots of negative media attention, then they changed stance.
Mhm. Interesting. Statistics donât report it.
And by the way, donât ask me to translate Bwalyaâs comments to English. I canât - half the words she uses are censored on this forum.
She also asked white people to not attend a BLM demonstration and blocked an Amnesty International demonstration for blackâs equality on that same day.
Actually, Iâll try one:
What I hear when Blizzard says âBlack lives matterâ is also âYou satanic, infected snake! You disgusting n*** s***!â about a Danish politician but in a private facebook message to her followers, where she also encouraged attacking her directly. It got leaked.
I donât like associating Blizzard with that.
Was waiting for this.
"they cant be the BAD GUY their name is literally ANTI-BAD GUY, so everything they do is justifiedâ
A fair. I just remember blizzard employees going on strike because of the decision made. Mustâve been the top alone deciding this .
Bias in reporting. I know of several incidents in the Netherlands where people have died due to police violence. Iâve also very recently seen videos come by from the UK where Black people were targeted by the police. The UK media is currently flooding with other stuff, so it doesnât surprise me that this doesnât make it.
I wonât let the idea of Black Lives Matter get ruined because of a few (extremist) individuals.
Iâm antifascist. So yes, if youâre against Antifascists, youâre part of the problem because you enable fascism.
Thatâs the organisationâs leader in Denmark. And sheâs still the leader.
We have those extremists in the Netherlands as well, freedom of speech protects them. They donât have freedom of consequences, though some here will cry âcancel cultureâ straight away
Ah. All good then. BLM should continue supporting her and paying her wages because other people are also bad.
/sigh
Honestly, I cba anymore. Iâm outta the thread.
Ofc it is and it is what make it so disgusting because it feels and rightfully so insincere and that they are just surfing on the wave to be PC and anyone can see it a mile away.
While in the meantime they quickly dropped the baby with water bath for the china situation : please donât punish us, weâre on your side, weâll do whatever you want !
When if they did truely care about it they woud have done something about it since a long time by now.
They are still not gonna get my money, not buying that waste material they call an x-pack and no i put the form but i pay my 13 euros so i got the right to say it politely !
Careful, people will tell you that youâre part of cancel culture.
I am infact against fascism, even when it tries to play silly buggers and call itself anti-fascism.
