Originally from this tweet thread, popularized by this YouTube video which I think is hilarious.

 

A little bit of context (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy)

In 2019, competitive Hearthstone player Blitzchung was removed from a tournament and banned from future tournaments for displaying a sign saying "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" in accordance with Blizzard's policy against political protest during events

Now that they've Targeted Gamers, there was a massive outrage, and the hearthstone community got pissed, so they protested in the following ways:

-Pretending to delete their account

-Preparing for some big protest at Blizzcon

-Some weird scheme to associate Overwatch's Chinese character Mei with Hong Kong protests, in hopes of getting Overwatch censored in China (obviously didn't do anything, based on the myth that Winnie the Pooh is banned in China)

-And most importantly, making big posts about how mad they are

Eventually, Blizzcon rolled around, no protest materialized, and they announced Overwatch 2, so everyone let this die, everyone let Hong Kong be forgotten. A stunning example of Reddit activism, I'll never forget it

What's unrealistic about this scene? I'm sure any teenager would act the same way when faced with a mounted turret

Isekai anime are stories where a person is transported from the normal world into a fantasy one, where they are often incredibly powerful and have many girlfriends

Marx never considered the Dís Principle, which wasn't discovered until around the 1970s

It makes sense. "What about the children in Africa" was a very popular topic for activism and charities until fairly recently (I feel like the cause has lost momentum since 2016-ish)

It's about a video game npc that becomes self aware, I think they're trying to copy The Truman Show where everyone reacts to him being free

This has to be what reeducation camps are made for, right? Do you think he could be taught that his porn addiction isn't a personality trait, or that forcing him to talk to other humans his age would eventually transform him into a productive member of society?

"30 year old openly attracted to anime children" is one of the most disgusting types of people I can imagine, I wonder if there's any hope for them

You may start to believe that the war you fought in was entirely pointless and only to the benefit of military contractors. This is normal

Imagine suffering from decades of oppression from the Japanese and then your "liberators" force you to speak English, a language you've never heard in your life. Just horrible

This doesn't seem incompatible with Maoism at all. Gotta adapt to your conditions and shit

 

I think in elementary school I was taught that Jefferson "fell in love with a slave" but it was framed as a positive trait, proving he's not that racist. The fact that he had 6 kids with her and enslaved them until his own death was not mentioned. This is probably common knowledge around here but wtf that's probably one of the most evil things you can do

 

Ive mostly been emulating rpgs but im looking for some new slop to play at work

 

You play as a multiethnic resistance group that performs guerrilla warfare against an overwhelmingly powerful oppressor. Feels like a leftist dogwhistle, even if realistically its normal #resistance

 

im not done yet (just finished episode 19) but holy shit both the angels and evas are fucking terrifying its so cool

 

"A better world is possible, you just have to wait until after you die"

 

In america, more than 60 protesters have been run over this year but people will send the tank man image to chinese people, thinking it will deprogram them and make them hate china

 

I didnt fall down the alt-right pipeline, but it instilled in me the idea that I didnt have a mental illness, I was just looking for an excuse for my own flaws. I probably have ADD or something and i buried it for like 6 years until 3 days ago, and now i have to figure this shit out.

Also, yes, this page is my personal diary, what of it?

 

Khrushchev wtf were you doing we needed this

 

Antagonist: If my ideology is enacted, everything will be better!

Liberal Protagonists: oh fuck how will we deal with this, I have no arguments to defend the status quo

Antagonist: just kidding, all that ideology was a trick, I'm Just Evil™

And then they can kill him without thinking about anything at all. Happens all the time.

Off the top of my head is legend of korra (I know im 2 weeks late for that discourse) the Black Panther movie, and even Pokemon Black/White have the same themes
