I don't think of it as free speech issue. If an Overwatch streamer was banned for wearing a MAGA hat, most of the community would cheer Blizzard for that.

- leereeves 7y agoThat's true, much of the community doesn't really support free speech, unfortunately, but some of us do and for us this is a free speech issue. The Chinese government has zero respect for free speech and as they gain more power outside China we're watching our own freedom of speech disappear. So in this instance, people who support free speech and people who just oppose China are aligned.
- cthalupa 7y agoThis sort of argument is so shitty. "If this thing that hasn't happened, happened, then people would do X action" How do you argue against it? It's a hypothetical event that hasn't occurred. You get to feel smug with your point and no one can actually disprove it. I generally find people that are so aggressive with their passive announcement of political values aren't the type of people I want to associate with, but I'm not going to say someone wearing a MAGA hat should be banned from playing Overwatch. It wouldn't even occur to me as something to suggest.
