Protestors are trying to get Overwatch banned in China, using memes of popular hero Mei

People are furious after Blizzard Entertainment suspended Hearthstone player Chung “blitzchung” Ng Wai for expressing support for Hong Kong during an official tournament broadcast. Gamers are calling for a boycott of Blizzard games — and now, some are turning Overwatch hero Mei into a symbol of the Hong Kong resistance.

It's nice that china is becoming the modern example of how horrible government can be if you let them give away most of your rights. Sort of needed one since people seem to have entirely forgotten how truly bad communism really is. When epic games ceo even thinks you're going too far that says something XD

It’s not right. People should have the ability to express themselves freely online without the fear of death or banishment.

When Overwatch was good and fun, now who the hell cares. Blizzard is just shit and doesn't care about it's employees. OW2 just needs to go away.
