This seems fair. You follow rules in tournaments. It isn't really a platform for you as an individual, you are on their platform.
I doubt anyone expects to see or hear politics or religion in a videogame tournament.
- Supermancho 7y agoI expect it, since most tournaments dont precensor players. Games have always had a large helping of politics in interplayer communication and sometimes face to face games. Like how some countries lose the right to host games for banning teams from the "wrong" countries (Saudi vs Israel).
- devwastaken 7y agoI don't consider fascim vs democracy average 'politics' like whom a president has sexual relations with. The logic of there being rules so it justifies the rules is also a fallacy. If the rule is reasonable then it has to be reasonable on its own legs.
- pfranz 7y agoI don't think that's realistic, but I do think the threshold is negotiable (between society, the organizers, and people competing). Ideally, many people echo what you're saying regarding the Olympics, but it seems like for every Olympics it comes up. Looking back, ignoring it doesn't always seem like the right decision, either.
- ncr100 7y agoNo. Not "fair" to play by rules transitively dictated by an authoritarian government. This is (1) exploitation of the under-served population who're oppressed and drained of resources by this government in order to support Tencent => Riot, and (2) normalizing / enabling of human-rights violation by socializing non-representative government-sponsored censorship.
- iamcreasy 7y agoThis is not fair. Riot games are own by Tencent which is a Chinese company. All these comments about keeping the 'unfair representation' is bullshit. They are just following instructions from their parent company which is following the instructions from the Chinese government.
