Well since Europe started requiring to have "hate" speech, the american progressive "fake news", "harassment" and "abuse" removed it seems that a lot of other factions seem to seized the opportunity to use the existing framework to their own gain. Who could have guessed ... It is rarely only the "good" guys that get to censor in the end ...

Blizzard is not censoring based on an SJW framework. Blizzard is trying to satisfy an authoritarian regime that they have gotten financially DEPENDENT on. These are not related.

  A rose by any other name ... Blizzard appeases the SJW when twitter makes a shitstorm not to lose money. Blizzard appeases China when Beijing makes a sting not to lose money. Both the SJW and CCP sincerely believe that history is on their side and they are the future. Both think of due process (as in some title IX cases) as an inconvenience. Both think that ideological conformity is paramount. I think I can see a vague overlap between the two.

    There is overlap between a lot of systems, but meta-relationships (insofar as HN comment votes look like Reddit comment votes) aren't relevant to the topic. That being said, I see the overlap. Blizzard is using the "we know what's best for others". This is not a framework, intrinsically. > a lot of other factions seem to seized the opportunity to use the existing framework to their own gain Blizzard is not one of those factions and I'll leave it at that.

      I was talking about CCP in the original post as the faction. I thought it was obvious. Blizzard are just an errand boy send by grocery clerks to colletthe bills.
