Wouldn't the protesters simply pick another character to march behind?
The funny part is, if you go by the lore and backstories assigned to each character, the majority of them would support Hong Kong. None of them are (written to be) particularly fond of authoritarianism.
Which is just hilarious that Blizzard's own IP would oppose their decision if they were real people.

- foota 7y agoSome of them might, but not for necessarily the same reason others would. Doomfist, for instance, is written as someone that believes in conflict, which doesn't mesh well with authoritarianism.
