I just think games should not push real world politics, period. This applies to that stream thing, and also to this thing you are talking about.

>Blizzard was fine introducing politics into their competitions when it suited them to do so. In that case it made them look progressive and they sold a lot of pins and t-shirts. I…

...and? I'm just offering an explanation, I didn't say they should "git gud".

That's because of the influx of papers written by the Chinese who can't write proper English.

He lost his job for using an official stream to push his politics. That's a huge difference that everybody is deciding to ignore for some reason... outrage culture I guess.

I'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.

Hmm, reminds me that a loooong time ago I used a Linux distro that had a log viewer, and the icon of the log viewer was a pile of lumber logs.

Go to Europe and say the holocaust didn't happen, see what occurs. In fact many countries in Europe have blasphemy laws and they uphold them: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arch…

"Human rights" = politics. Blizzard can choose what they broadcast using their streams. I'm sure if someone decided to wear a tshirt with a fasces in it you'd agree... but since th…

I doubt Raymond cares, it's not like they are going to fire him.

Seems reasonable that they don't want to allow players to push their politics using the official Blizzard streams. They are free to do so in their spare time. What do you think Bli…

Raymond has always made it very clear that this is his personal blog and that it's not official by any measure.

Reminds me of the good ol' "what kind of person would assist the ICE finding and deporting illegals". Answer: not everybody agrees with your views on politics.

That is exactly my point. If you've never heard a word you can never know how it's pronounced. That's not the case with Spanish where I can make up a word and everybody will pronou…

I disagree with spoken English being a sane language. I have yet to find a deterministic way of knowing how to pronounce a word I haven't heard before. I can make up a word in Span…

I think they are reading too much into what basically is a question of design, to be honest. They just want to display videos fullscreen.

I dislike advertising as much as the next guy but really, what alternatives do websites like reddit have?

It's more like the writer was saying "nobody cares about poor people, but hey, if we say the victims are blacks and latinos... that's going to get some support from someone". Which…

You just have to look at the Twitter feeds of these two to see why things are going where they are going. https://twitter.com/SaraJChipps https://twitter.com/df07
