There is a difference between being against a regime and crying moral superiority against people who don't show enough outrage about a video game company potentially doing some of the dirty work of the regime through a harsh punishment of a player. Heck with me I even agree with the general idea that Blizzard was out of line, but just adding the caveat that a stream isn't a place for that and it's not Blizzard's obligation to be the platform for him to express his views on that, and the dude should have got some much more minor punishment to dissuade these kinda things. Unfortunately, I just don't agree hard enough for MariaTaylor, the Level 1 Chaotic Good freedom loving Bard with a heart of gold, to abide.

You keep saying you don't like me that like it matters. Your feelings about me have no bearing on how I feel about you or about myself. Partially because your opinion is based on a grievance I find valueless (that people should be super upset at Blizzard here or else they MUST support authoritarian regimes) so I don't take it seriously, and partially because we don't know each other on any sort of personal level so I'm not angry or upset that you dislike me. Plenty of people here, some of which I hold in higher regard than you, dislike me, but you can't accept that it's meaningless to me. You keep saying I'm freaking out here but it feels like projecting at this point. There is no backpedaling-- when I say I have no beef with you I am not trying to damage control you calling me scum I am just being honest.

this is some serious gaslighting. okay, whatever. I honestly should have given up when I first noticed you were arguing in bad faith.

for any observers who happen to be reading, the people who actually matter:

just remember that lopen has only chosen to mock and belittle my views, calling me an overall negative influence on the board, saying I have never contributed anything positive, coincidentally, just this one and only time when it was lopen himself who was being criticized. never once has this person ever condemned a single view that I expressed, or called my ability of critical thinking into question -- but the moment I am being critical of him suddenly I'm no longer a credible witness. the cowardly fuck literally called into question whether or not I'm actually pro-freedom.

and yet if this were any other situation, if blizzard had banned and censored blitz for something else that was less popular, you can all bet that I'd be the one person in this topic arguing against literally everyone else about how blitz should not have been censored. seeing me ranting and arguing against multiple users for entire multi-100 post topics is not an uncommon sight. even lopen himself as cited my tendency to 'rant at other people.'

but sure. in his mind this is the ONE time where I'm totally just putting on a show and pretending. just by sheer coincidence. the one time I'm being critical of him. wow, that's sure convenient for his ego.
