They are referring to the Blitzchung incident, when China illegally took full control over Hong Kong before their agreement to let it be autonomous expired. During the mass protests a Hong Kong esports player voiced support for the protests on a Blizzard livestream for an event and was banned from the tournament and was forced to forfeit prize money he already won: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy

Edit: also, disapproval of the CCP =/= dislike of/racism towards Chinese people

So there’s a problem with the American company freely associating with who they want to? That’s anti-free market!

That‘s not „anti-free market“ at all. People can buy from whoever they want and if they think that this is bad, they can freely choose to not buy anything from Blizzard.

Free markets include the freedom not to buy a product for any reason or for no reason. What you’re talking about is establishing a class of people who are free to act according to their conscience, and another class of people who are not.

There’s no need to shoehorn in your dislike of Chinese people into this video gaming story.

Strawman flame-bait everyone. Please ignore.

Yes. Please ignore when things disagree with major Western narratives everyone. Wouldn’t want the worldview that was fed to you challenged.
