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 Blizzard would do if some guy wore a MAGA hat in an official stream?
Unlike China.

Blizzard is 100% fine with their games having a political message when they think it gives them free brownie points (announcing various characters as being explicitly gay), but are complete total cowards when it might cost them something.

Being gay isn’t political.
Really seems like a win win scenario.

But that doesn’t make it the right decision, morally. Sometimes rules should be broken.
This is shaping to be fun tactic in the culture war. To force corporations that want to be seen as woke in the west to bow to China which will hurt their image at home. If someone manages to do it with Nike it will be fun to watch.
How is bowing to China woke? Not following.
Hence, the woke company needs to do pretty un-woke things, and their hypocrisy is exposed.
South Park is spot on this season. You could say they are good with predictions, but I think they just gave different perspective to something that already has been happening (episodes on China censorship)
While I agree they’re spot on, it’s not like this is a new issue.
