The spirit of China is alive and well. Censor Censor Censor! All this serves to do is make more people want to protest at Blizzcon.

Maybe Mei should have this flag emblazoned in her somewhere.

Whoever is running the Blizzard PR department should probably quit and fly back to China. This isn’t going to end well.

Holy frick they actually did it, what even is this censorship garbage.

You want a Streisand Effect? This is how you get a Streisand Effect.

I usually laugh at Don't Tread On Me bumper stickers and such as overblown American hyperbole, but when Chinese censorship overlords really do start treading on us, I mean, don't just take my word for it...

You are going to awaken a storm you really, really don't want to deal with.

Edited to say: Okay, let's at least have the gumption to admit that we got this one totally off.

Sorry to hear about the guy deleting his account. Even sorrier to hear about death threats and spam. Nobody wants that.

This was an unfortunate situation all around. Let's make things easier for people caught in the crossfire, right? Hopefully we can still stick it to the responsible parties for this whole mess--China and Blizzard--without hurting others in the process.

What's up with the posts being manually approved on /r/Blizzard? Take a look and browse by new and you'll see posts are very distant in submission time. I tested this out and my most recent submission doesn't show up on new just on my own profile. No AutoModerator message.
