After focusing heavily on promoting multiculturalism, turning their main character gay, blaming anti-SJW behavior for holding up content development, banning players that only played a straight white male character, and dumping hundreds of millions into e-sports, Blizzard has now finally taken the next step in shrinking their own community by scouring social media and YouTube to track down users who make “toxic” comments on videos and taking action against their Overwatchaccount.
I know, I know… it reads like some sort of parody based on a mock manual imitating George Orwell’s 1984. But I assure you, it’s not parody and it’s unfortunately not satire
http://archive.md/8St4CThis is in response to players who hammered Blizzard for banning a player for only playing as Torbjorn. He’s one of the top players in Overwatch for the character, but was banned for only playing as Torbjorn. Essentially they’re punishing players for not picking from their pool of multicultural characters. If you’re not okay with that? Banned.
This is literally Blizzard attempting to force their millions of players into embracing their sociopolitical agendas whether their player base likes it or not. And even more than that, if you attempt to rebel by voicing your opinion about it on YouTube videos or social media, you could find yourself being banned from Overwatch.
