Description
Blizzard banned pro Hearthstone winner for supporting free Hong Kong and took away his prize money. It would be SUCH A SHAME if Mei became a symbol of Hong Kong democracy and got Overwatch banned in China like Pooh did.
Join us! Draw this in your style or any Blizzard game characters as a Hong Kong protester. Don't let the Chinese government control our free speech!

When someone makes a bomb in UK, he is a terrorist. When someone makes a bomb in Hong Kong, he is a pro- democracy freedom fighter. Simple?

国人get，it’s like there is a parade in Texas, so there is a fight for “freedom”.

Although I'd enjoyed your paintings before, I have had to say NO to your point.
I’m not sure if people, who followed your view here, know objectively Hongkong’s history and current situation.
Hongkong was ruled by U.K. government. However, on 1st July 1997, China resumed its rule over Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established. Since then, Hongkong has entered a new period of development. Especially with the high-speed establishement and development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hongkong is creating a better –and-better future. More and more international guests visit, invest and stay here. Local citizens live a better-and-better life in Hongkong. Nobody can destroy this harmonious picture. This is the objective embodiment of “one country, two systems”.
In your view, it’s like there is a parade in Texas, so there is a fight for “freedom”. NO! Hongkong is part of China. What you’ve got is not what it should be. History will prove some politician stretch out their hands too long, but it's useless. Let “color revolution” go fucking.
Your paintings is good and I liked. But no this issue, I must refute you totally.

It's so funny they always said HK is part of China, but HK has hundred years history which longer than China, she just 70 years old this year, you want to talk about history so be it, HK was given to British because HK is part of Qing Dynasty that she lost it together with loads of debt, but what China said recently? China said the debt is belong to Qing Dynasty and Republic of China (Taiwan) , so which part of HK is belong to CHINA now???? We are belong to Taiwan rather than China And why you son is older than you PaPa LOL

All of this is irrelevant, a great number of Hong Kong's citizens do not wish to be ruled by China or it's draconian laws...
Dude your profile was just made has no uploads. This is incredibly shady...
Also, Texas reserves the right to secede, so bad example to use. Unless you believe that Hong Kong has the right to secede?

When someone makes a bomb in USA, he is a terrorist. When someone makes a bomb in Hong Kong, he is a pro- democracy freedom fighter. Simple?Free USA,shooting everyday

I won't pretend I know too many of the specifics of these attack I am doing some research on it.
Their is already a major difference most terrorist attacks in the U.S. are made by people looking for attention or trying to impose tyrannical laws on the public. They aren't freedom fighters because they aren't fighting for freedom, they are terrorists because they want to impose their agenda on others thru fear. That being said someone can be both a Freedom Fighter and a Terrorist.
In Hong Kong people are fighting for independence as an American I cannot condemn them, even if I don't condone their actions. I cannot know the full extent of things but from what I understand their are some protesters who have escalated things, though it would appear that the police are not entirely blameless either (Of course inevitably their will always be bad apples on both sides of any conflict). I will say that no I do not condone the use of explosives in civilian centers, or the assault/murder of a police officer. Violence and Armed Rebellion should only be used as a last resort, as a response to excessive demonstrations of force. However, If I hear that their are any atrocities or excessive demonstrations of force coming out of the Hong Kong or Chines Government I will quickly shift gears.
That being said while I do not currently think violence is called for, the existence of bad actors does not invalidate the validity of their point. You cannot condemn an entire group based on the fact that some of them are acting in an immoral or violent fashion, you must engage with their argument, and from where I am standing the protesters would appear to be in the right. Though I suppose as a native of Hong Kong that is for you and your peers to decide not some Yanky from Don't Trust the Government U.S.A., I will remain appraised of the situation and allow what fact i can glean to color my opinions as necessary. For now all i can do is pray things work out for the best, my country has it's own problems to worry about.

hhhh Honestly feel conflicted about this, I love your art and stuff. but i really don't know if the free HK movement is the same as it was when it started, now it's a lotta grey areas because democracy is great sounding, but the price to get there is uhhhh problematic to say the least.

setting new precedents and expecting better of the world is the only way to change things, even if it were to get corrupted in the latter half of the game, you know, china has been corrupted for decades already. either pick a side or refrain from forming an opinion
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Instead of sides, I would argue that it's more like a spectrum? I'm know many would disagree with me, but I think that now that there are so many factors, so many people and motives and reasonings of all sorts that there is no black or white anymore. I lean towards the revolutionary movement but I heavily disagree with many of the morally questionable decisions that have been made, immoral behavior is what made me unhappy/wary with the government in the first place. So to me, they're too many variables to choose something that I'm personally comfortable with. I do agree though, that expecting better of the world is one of the only ways to change, hopefully I can stay with this sorta optimism.

He not only is stoping his support for Blizzard, but he covers what's been going on. Just because it doesn't concern you now, don't mean it won't in the future, not with how China is sneaking its way into other countries businesses.
You will also see that other politic matters have happened before with Blizzard, but instead of banning people, they supported it. But it all comes down to money. Will supporting this issue give us better publicity? Yes? Support and allow people to talk about it and bring awareness. Will it lose us money? Yes? Ban and censor it.
It is very clear it has NOTHING to do with rules, and everything to do with making as much money as they can by staying in chinas good side due to their funding.
The pure fact that people in honk kong are dieing, that their own law enforcement that is mostly china ran is sending in people masquerading as protesters to cause vandalism to give them a reason to come in and arrest protesters who have done nothing wrong. 100's of CHILDREN are being abducted, assaulted and even raped. But you don't care as it doesn't concern you?
But as stated... these tastes of making companies not want to lose business with china due to how much money they get is a way for China to gain control without the need of war. Because money talks and greed is everywhere. Don't concern you now? Wait a few years and see if you have that same tone. Even the NBA has fallen into China's grasp... Supporting gay rights? Support! Fighting against racism? Good! Saying anything against china? suspension! Censorship! BANNNN!!!
How would you feel, if you knew in a few years your very life would be handed over to a people that very well plan to execute you, just for wanting basic human rights? If you waich that video you see a people who know that they will all be slaves, and if not turned to slaves, they will be killed, families, children, and for what? Just want the same freedoms as you or I? Yet you don't care as it doesn't concern you?

Money makes the world go round. I support companies that do what’s best to keep business going. That’s life. But what I find funny is how all these people are going on about protecting freedom of speech. But the moment someone speaks up who doesn’t agree. You all try to force your views down their throats instead of just accepting their opinions. You people are no better than the cause you think you’re fighting against. It’s funny really. I don’t care about the problems of China. I don’t live there, so it doesn’t effect me. If a problem pops up that will effect my life then I’ll deal with it in my own way. And that’s that. Kids running around trying to be Knights of the Internet, but are actually just hypocrites wanting to seem big. It’s cute. But the reality of life will hit sooner or later. Have a good night.

people are tryna see what they can do. either they'll be able to affect blizzard and prove that the democratic will of the people can sway companies, or it'll prove that they cant. that companies are above the people, and that we are powerless to decide anything, that we live in nominally democratic countries yet our voices cant be heard, and we cant keep companies to the standards and values that we hold as nations. i think its important for us to realize how these things fit together as we grow up. shits fucked, we know that, but what the heck can we do about it?

It doesn’t concern me. What I consider to be idiotic is how people are lashing out against a company without looking at it from a adult form. Many large companions don’t get involved with politics and remain neutral to avoid conflict. That’s why they didn’t want politics brought into their tournaments. When the person broke their rule, they put Blizzard in a sticky situation. If Blizzard would have ignored it, not only would others start to think they could also break the rule. But the Chinese government could have lashed out against the company. They punished a rule breaker. Which was the right thing to do especially over something that put the company in such a position. The guy new he broke the rule, but didn’t care. Blizzard did what they felt was best to avoid any legal battles. But no one wants to take the time to see their side of it. That’s what I feel is idiotic. A kid broke a important rule. He got punished for it. There isn’t a need to lash out against a company for doing the best thing to protect their company from a politics related issue.

Art has always been used to raise awareness of political issues.
The problems in Hong Kong may not affect you directly, but many other people around the world may have family, friends, or other ties to Hong Kong. There's also the bigger problem of China's violation of human rights. Whether or not Blizzard's actions were justified, this incident created a chance for the international community to take action and put pressure on China to back off and potentially reform their policies.

Right. Attacking an American company is really going to show the Chinese government that people are upset. The logic is hilarious. The words and opinions of a bunch of civilians isn’t going to matter. All this is doing is shaming a company for looking out for their best interest. But as typical with society today. Anyone who speaks out against your hair brain logic is instantly attacked. But just like the Chinese government. Your words mean nothing to me. Good day.

You missed the point of this post, which isn't strictly speaking attacking Blizzard. The words and opinions of civilians do matter to the Chinese government, which is why they are so well known for censoring any sort of opposition to its own image, no matter how trivial, as is the case with the banning of Winnie the Pooh when people mockingly compared him with China's General Secretary.
The point of this post is to likewise show characters of a popular game as being pro-Hong Kong, thus baiting China into either censoring an extremely popular game or allowing these images to spread.

Again. Wrongfully dragging a company into it. If someone was using one of my art pieces for this sort of nonsense I would be outraged. Blizzard wanted nothing to do with politics, but they were dragged into it anyways by children. So again. Good day. I’m done with this nonsense. It’s bored me.

Blizzard got involved in politics the moment they banned that player for speaking up for his country and you expect people to say, "All well~"? You say you don't care about Hong Kong, but care more about licking the under boots of a greedy company who rely on cheap gimmicks to get their games by. Only good thing that came from Blizzard was fanart from good artists and nothing else.
I hope it's worth protecting a company who is slowly falling under because they keep messing up their own games and pissing off domestic customers. The same customers who built them up and got them where they are now, so they have every right to lash out. As far as I'm concern Blizzard deserves to be shut down and other companies like Blizzard should avoid China altogether if it means sacrificing their integrity and American values.
Reading the rest of your comments you come off as a very disgusting, nihilistic cowardice person and I hope people see your comments and block you just like I'm about to do. But, hey, since you like seeing people make cold-hearted business decisions so much I'm sure there's a two faced company like Blizzard out there waiting for a bitch like you to work for them if you're interested.

The problem is that many people (myself included) feel that Blizzard's attempt to protect their company from political issues backfired massively! By choosing to punish someone for making a statement that most of the western world should be in favour of, a statement that supports fighting against tyranny to protect innocent lives, a sentiment that's echoed in the stories of Blizzard's other games, they've become political enemies!
Blizzard have proven that their greed is greater than their moral fibre. Taking a stand for what's right IS LOOKING AT IT FROM AN ADULT FORM! Who the hell do you think you are claiming that political art is somehow childish?!

Only children put ‘Being nice’ over money. If that company went down hundreds of people would lose their jobs. They are protecting their company and their employees. Life isn’t about being fair and nice. That’s something you children haven’t learned yet. Get over it, and move on.

This might be the most idotic statement I heard in a while. Also Blizzard only did this to protect their asses nothing more nothing less so they do deserve every kind of shit they get . They have been a company withs cummy bussiness practices but this is not acceptable in any sense . But I assume you are the type person who is ok with living in a world where free speech means shit.

Of course they are protecting themselves. They are a entertainment company. Not a center for political debates. But I’m assuming by your lack of knowledge that you are most likely under the age of 16. So let me put it to you like this. I’m artist. I make profit off of my art. Would I draw a commission for a customer that wants imagery supporting Hong Kong’s current issue? Absolutely not. I also wouldn’t draw one supporting the other side of things neither. I would remain a neutral party in order to protect my business. That way no one can get upset over picking sides. That’s what companies are supposed to do. But I guess I shouldn’t expect children to understand such things.

This is why I don't argue with people like you. When you stop free speach because you think you gonna lose money it is gonna back fire the best course of actions for them would have been to give him his prize money and a warning regarding what he has said and let him go his mery way and they still would have gotten a backlash but not a big one like this one . But I guess I shouldn’t expect children to understand such things.
Edit: Because the lovely person bellow blocked me so here is my response to you :
"Hahahahaha oh man did I offended you by using your own words against you ? Thanks for not having one useful input . You keep being an ignorant asshole , I hope it does not bite you in the arse later on."
