It'd be like Trump banning My Little Pony because Applejack is orange just like he is.

...actually I could totally see that happening.

On the topic of human rights violations and power abuse and government-ally committed crimes:
At what point does one stop being a political party and start being a criminal organization with rampant influence?

He DID demand an investigation into Saturday Night Live because they made fun of him.

Jim Sterling spreads more misinformation.
Explanation please.
Yes, I second this motion.
Samtemdo is spreading defamation. There! Explanation complete.
Well I can say he's part of a movement in gaming I like to now call "Gaming Populism"

Not sure where this belongs so I'm just putting it here but apparently a guy in China had to apologize that he posted positively about team rocket (yes from pokemon).

You definitely don't want partial Chinese ownership if they can't see Meowth's greatness that's for sure. (also let us not forget how many times they've helped out in the end too, I guess Chinese censors never saw the Lugia movie?)

That's kind of the opposite of an explanation.

Also, if anything were to be "gaming populism," that event which shall not be named already has first, second, and third dibs.

I just find this whole situation merely the masses crucifying Blizzard to make an example of them so other companies can learn not to do what Blizzard did. Because a lot of Companies are making money off the Chinese market as well.

But I am not swayed by all the videos against Blizzard because these people are polluting the facts with their own opinions and talking points. Until I hear from Blizzard's own mouth or their own perspective on the story about this situation and how they can fix it, I don't believe anything Jim Sterling or YongYea says.

And I have made it clear before that Jim Sterling and his ilk THRIVES on Controversy. That's how they keep their Youtube channels afloat. He is a shit stirrer and is using a kind of populism to draw attention to himself.

Yeah, that's the point. You are begging the question of why Jim and said masses shouldn't do so.

This is irrelevant to your stance on Blizzard on two counts, both because it is an ad hom and because it barely means anything. Also, Blizzards reply has been posted in this thread. For your convenience: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/blizzard/23185888/regarding-last-weekend-s-hearthstone-grandmasters-tournament

Even if all of that is true, bad and worth caring about (none of it really is), it still doesn't mean you can randomly accuse him of spreading misinformation. So either explain specifically what misinformation has been spread or stop talking. As near as I can tell, you don't like the general tone of the Jimquisition. That's fine, I can see why somebody would find it grating or repetitive or whatever. But leave accusations of lying at the door unless you are willing to back them up.

Give me a summery of his Video "Blizzard chooses Tyranny" in your next post and I will actually find the information he mentions myself.

Because I refuse to watch 20 minutes of hearing his smug voice and demeanor.

So you haven't watched him and have no idea whether any misinformation was actually spread, but you want me to summarize it for you, so you can respond to it that way?
