8 ways people are striking back at Blizzard for being ChiCom lap dogs

blizzard-chicom

The internet is striking back at Activision Blizzard after it suspended Hong Kong Hearthstone champion Blitzchung and confiscated his winnings for expressing support for the Hong Kong protests. Here's a quick rundown on what's currently happening, in no particular order:

1. Making Blizzard a "Chinaware store" on Google Maps

Fellow ChiCom pig Google reverted the helpful change, but it's archived here.

2. Leaving their Blizzard jobs while ripping their former employer a new one

On Tuesday, several Blizzard employees walked out of work to protest the company and show support for the Hong Kong protests, The Daily Beast reported.

That's gay.

Popular Hearthstone caster Brian Kibler got it right: he outright cut ties with the company and had this to say about it:

That kind of appeasement is simply not something I can in good conscience be associated with. When I learned about the ruling, I reached out to Blizzard and informed them that I no longer feel comfortable casting the Grandmasters finals at BlizzCon. I will not be a smiling face on camera that tacitly endorses this decision. Unless something changes, I will have no involvement in Grandmasters moving forward.

3. Turning Blizzard's intellectual property into hate symbols

A favorite sport of Ganker is taking a mundane object (or gesture, etc), slapping a bunch of swastikas on it, and dangling it in front of media. Within long, you have intrepid journalists reporting earnestly on the newest hate symbol. People are realizing the tactic can be used to undermine Blizzard's future in China. All you need to do is replace mundane object with Blizzard IP, and instead of swastikas, you use Hong Kong protests.

4. Sabotaging the BlizzCon Q&A

BlizzCon, Blizzard's annual gaming convention, is right around the corner and set to begin on November 1.

The convention is already a great cringe content generator, with the most recent example being last year's "Diablo: Immortal" debacle. Fans expected Blizzard to announce a new Diablo game for the PC, and Blizzard announced a mobile game instead.

But BlizzCon 2019 will bring the biggest showdown/backlash yet as people anticipate questions about China during the Q&A segments.

Some people are even speculating that Blizzcon 2019 might lead to the next World War.

Sounds plausible to me.

5. Ending their subscriptions / deleting their accounts

https://twitter.com/Grummz/status/1181757457527267328

Unfortunately, there are still many holdout players who have waited for official WoW Classic re-release for a decade and would rather submit to Chinese overlords than give up their nostalgia fuel. Case in point:

These ChiCom slaves need to be re-educated. Wow Classic private servers are equal to and in many cases better than the official ones, which are nothing more than repurposed private server code with 2019-updated goodspeak enforcing thugs.

6. Charging back all recent payments to Blizzard

Some people are taking their boycott a step further by charging back all their recent transactions with Blizzard.

Chargebacks are bad news for Blizzard because they put a bad mark on a company. With enough chargebacks, they will be forced to pay higher fees when taking credit and debit card transactions, from less than 3% to upwards of 10-20% per transaction. Even worse, banks could stop working with Blizzard altogether.

7. Throwing feces and screeching

People too poor to have a WoW subscription and too heterosexual to go to BlizzCon are shitposting, and to great effect.

Brave keyboard warriors began spamming the r/Blizzard subreddit with massive amounts of rants and unrelated content, which resulted in a temporary lockdown.

The subreddit was later re-opened, but it's currently being heavily censored with the vast majority of posts being deleted within minutes.

It's not just r/Blizzard:

Now imagine the support tickets.

8. Getting Trump to condemn Blizzard for being CHYNA's b***h

China is often the target of President Donald Trump's ire and he loves to comment on controversy. Some people are hoping he'll send a tweet to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

One Twitter user tweeted at Trump and urged him to "look at all the issues with the NBA, Nike, Activision, Blizzard and many more that support communism in China."

https://twitter.com/Gaathan1963/status/1182310231289847808

"Trump should sanction the hell out of China for this," another Twitter user said after mentioning the Blizzard controversy.

https://twitter.com/BoneYard2k19/status/1182318199012024321

It's likely that Trump is aware of the Blizzard controversy, but it's less likely that he'll mention anything that would harm his meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He on Friday.

    Number 2 was great. I applaud anyone who walks away from a steady gig because they know the company is doing wrong. You are the talent these companies exploit as a worker and customer. Well done.
