First of all, I'd like to say I like the video in terms of solid content and undistorted information. However, the analysis goes biased, as the commentor expresses the opinion that "Blizzard should support every player's every kind of speech about external events or environment" because "Blizzard makes money from advertisement and bla bla things besides e-Sports". This logic is wrong because of three reasons:
1. If a player agrees to join the match held by a company, both parties should follow the rules. Who breaks the rule? Though he has the freedom to speak, Blizzard definitely has the right to ban him according to the rules. Freedom of speech never gives anyone the right to speak and not take responsibilities.
2. External influence indeed exists everywhere but it is not necessarily brought into what you are doing. For example, Blizzard brings ads into the match, not only for money but also for better match in a long run. How does this player's speech engage e-sports in any way?
3. When people are watching the game and listening to their talks, do they care that much about politics or HK balala movement? If so why are they spending time on the game channel rather than being a political activist? This player never considers the fans or the people who support the game. He forced the audience to get involved with those matters before the audience realized he‘s going to talk about things totally irrelevant with e-sports. I call it DISRESPECT.
30 employees went to the statue. That’s minimal…and most of them are smiling…not much of a protest…mote like. “Look at us! We care! “ ??
Alright, so is it better to boycott Blizzard and make “free HK” movement more about the destruction of a company by negatively impacting it. That’s a negative. Or should we raise awareness of the HK situation and try to help. This seems to be the reason people shouldn’t get involved. They ARENT doing shit for HONG KONG!!! So blizzard is supposed to fight China?! Not one fuckin company would do what people are demanding of Blizzard. Not one fuckin company…
