There's a difference between accidentally and knowingly breaking a rule. Regardless of if you feel the rule is fair or right, knowingly breaking is more egregious, e.g. manslaughter is not as bad as first or second degree murder.
- xvector 7y agoWhat a ridiculous comparison. The rule he broke here was literally "don't offend any portion of the public." The rule you're referring to is much more justifiable. If the rules are ridiculous, then the reaction to them should be to dismantle the rules and disavow the rule-makers.
- CobrastanJorji 7y agoKnowing that you're doing something that is not in the interest of Blizzard or China and may bring you trouble is not the same thing as rule-breaking. For example, I have a first amendment right to stand on the street and cry out "that store over there has awful working conditions," and I'm not breaking any rules, but I'm well aware that the store may well not let me in anymore.
- keithnoizu 7y agoMore like you go in the middle of the street and say, America shouldn't support south american dictators, and as a result all ISPs refuse you provide you with internet service. They're private companies they have the right do to so but good luck navigating todays world with out it.
- jammygit 7y agoYou are claiming that morality is irrelevant if there is a rule involved, and your action is substantially worse if you break a rule for a moral reason deliberately instead of accidentally?
- Skunkleton 7y agoSometimes the moral choice is to break the rules.
- ummonk 7y agoAgreed. But you have to enforce the rules to make sure that people don't start breaking the rules over something trivial. The people making a moral choice to break the rules can live with a 12 month ban from the game.
