Literally every game journalist article I see feels like the people who wrote it never even played the game to begin with.

    She (they?) jumped on the “China bad” bandwagon really hard back when Blizzard banned blitzchung, I stopped watching her after a couple months of that.

      They are first a games journalist and a critic of capitalism second. Their utility to the communism pipeline is still good.

      In the liberal alternate reality where China is as fascist as India, but with a competent omniscient survielence state, a person wanting to talk about wanting to be freed from their tyranical government presenting at a Blizzard corporate event would still be banned. This is to do with criticizing Blizzard for being amoral and willing to make concessions to whatever governments they want to sell their products in.

      If she gave full throated support for China, her function in the communist pipeline would be less functional.

      If you don’t want to watch her, good. Enjoy doing other things than watching videos.

        Yeah I haven’t watched them (her?) since they came out, and being out as a trans/gender non-conforming person (not sure how they identify) is a pretty radicalizing experience. I’ll have to watch some more recent videos.

      Just to help with the pronoun confusion, she goes by “she” or “they” according to her twitter, but has stated that she prefers “she”.
