it's still on my mind, but I will admit that I'm not a good representation of the average person. I was actually surprised at how much the community reactions on the first few days were similar to my own. now, the talk I see on those same communities has gone more toward what I would have expected from other people.
people are just going to be the way that people are. it's hard to get a lot of them to care about something for longer than a short while. though I will say this still feels a bit bigger than just the random outrage of the day. the only thing we can do is wait to see blizzard's next quarterly report. that will tell us how many people chose to boycott over this and actually stayed away from blizzard long enough for it to matter.
maybe I'll be disappointed when I see the report but it's kinda pointless to act disappointed in the movement already before we've seen ANY substantial data to suggest one way or the other.
just because people aren't talking about it 24/7 doesn't mean they aren't thinking about it. and there's going to be people who just put blizzard out of their mind entirely, like, totally given up on blizzard, which is also a good thing. that also contributes to the boycott even if they aren't constantly posting about it on board 8 or reddit.
I'm just being a pessimist
I think it's hard to get people focused on an issue when it's so far away and with no end in sight and with news cycles it's easy for companies to just stay quiet and let the focus shift to something else. China let the 2014 Umbrella Movement die out after the students grew tired and eventually gave up so I'm expecting more of the same here
the people of Hong Kong will keep fighting but for how long? ---
