Chinese Government 'Forcing Christians To Denounce Jesus Christ Baxter Dmitry News, World O September 10, 2018 10 China's communist government has begun destroying crosses, burning Bibles, shutting churches and ordering Christians to sign papers denouncing Jesus Christ, according to pastors and a group that monitors religion in China. Under President Xi Jinping, China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, believers are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival. Experts and activists say that as he consolidates his power, Xi is waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982. BIZARD Blizzard's dramatic Hearthstone ban is the latest proof that China is too lucrative to piss off By Wes Fenlon 7 days ago China is now one of the biggest political and economic forces in games, and its influence is still growing. In the first six months of 2019, Activision Blizzard made 12 percent of its revenue-396 million dollars-in the Asia Pacific region. Much of that certainly came from China. SensorTower estimates that Chinese mobile players have helped Hearthstone spending grow, even as US spending declined. They put $51 million into the game in 2018. Esports audiences, too, are huge in China. I fear just one thing: Money! Greed was what motivated Judas to sell Jesus Mother Teresa AZ QUOTES

reddit Q search r/GamerGhazi r/GamerGhazi SIGN UP t 261 -Suddenly, Reactionary Gamers are extremely* into politics in gaming. Posted by u/EthicsOverwhelming 5 days ago 32 261 Suddenly, Reactionary Gamers are *extremely* into politics in gaming. r/GamerGhazi Keen observers may have noticed that within the last week, all of the usual Gamergate/reactionary youtuber/alt-right gamer crowd has become extremely vocal about politics in their video games again. No no, not the usual "get your politics Sep 22, 2014 Cake Day 25.0k 122 out of my video games" whining, but the opposite! That's right, they are extremely vocal not about the injection of politics Members in their games, but the ejection of politics in their games Diversity and geek culture collide Super short version y'all know already is that a pro Hearthstone player as well as several people who happened to be JOIN standing in the vicinity of him were punished when he said a pro-Hong Kong independence message. Now, you would think this would be met with scorn from the Gamergate crowd, right? Here was a man injecting a political message into a video game competition, sullying the once sacred grounds of meritocratic competition with his icky-wicky politics! This should be catnip for them, but instead they had the exact opposite reaction. It was good that politics were being injected into their video games, and it was bad that companies made it go away! Now if you're like me you probably laughed and rolled your eyes at the blatant hypocrisy that comes with reactionary conservatism, and their absolute lack of self awareness. However the reality of their newfound political awakening is actually a little bit more complicated, and also still fitting with their overall mentality. The short answer to the question "Do Gamergaters actually care about the Hong Kong people?" is: "F--- no." They never have. General Hong Kong unrest and sporadic protest have been going on for years and they've never batted an eye over it. Ask them how they feel about kneeling NFL players and then square that with what happened here and you'd probably be scratching your head like I was. The real reason they're all so active about this is very very simple: doing this hurts the people they hate. And the person they hate, is Blizzard. Almost one year ago, Blizzard-a massive multi-billion dollar company-announced that it was making a Diablo game for mobile phones at Blizzcon, an event designed to announce upcoming Blizzard properties. So for a normal well-adjusted ounce Blizzard properties person like you and I, the announcement nevent designed to property at didn't really seem like a big issue. A phone game? Cool. It's not my cup of tea, but I hope it's good and that people find enjoyment in it. For The Gamer however, this was seen as a crime against humanity. The silly quip of "don't you have phones?" has been festering and brewing inside their minds rent-free for near 365 days and counting, and has been the fuel for their unending anger all this time (yes, really, they're still not over this). In their minds, Blizzard insulted The Consumer and there is no greater sin in the world than insulting Consumers. Now, there shouldn't really be anything special about consuming things. Everyone does it every single day of the year, it's not really that impressive, special, or noteworthy in any way. It's just something we do, like breathing and eating. However. The Gamers very often self-identify as Consumers in ways that border on fetishistic. It's a sign of pride for them. A mark of power. I am a Consumer, hear me roar! Bend to my mighty will! entire markets are at my beck and call! Watch any reactionary youtuber for more than ten minutes and you will hear "Consumers" dropped often and with an almost reverent tone that commands respect. These people really, really do take some sort of weird pride in the term There's a whole psychological rabbit hole we can jump down here about why they take such pride in something so plain, like perhaps because they feel it's the one aspect of their life and in their world that they have any control/power over. Like their wallet is a Horcrux or something, but we won't get into that Reddit Using Reddit About Help Reddit App What's important to take away here is that they are approaching this issue not from a humanitarian perspective where Careers one is legitimately concerned over human suffering, but from a perspective of consumption and denied entitlement. Press Reddit Coins Advertise Reddit Premium Gamergaters and Conservative Reactionaries don't actually have a belief structure that you can map a coherent world Reddit view across. They believe whatever they need to believe in the moment to cause the most harm to the people they hate. Directory It's why they can form a movement designed to bully women/minorities into suicide, but then pretend someone's suicide is a tragedy and use it as a tool to bully women. It's why they can get so p----- off about politics in games, but then get Terms | Content Policy | Privacy Policy | mad when politics is ejected from games like they've always said they want. In their minds, when Blizzard announced a Mod Policy Diablo game that wasn't explicitly catered to them, the company tore out their very souls, and these kids have been Reddit Inc 2019. All rights reserved carrying this spite around with them for a year. This Hong Kong protest isn't a moral concern for them, it's a weapon they can use to stab at the company that didn't give them what they want. Blizzard has been on their hit list for a yeart now, and if reactionaries have pretend to have concern over Human Rights (you know, all that SJW stuff they hate) to twist a knife into the backs of someone who didn't bend over backwards for their desires, they will do so. So while it might seem smug and hilarious to point out how much Gamergaters are finally waking up to the idea that all media is political, games aren't made in a vacuum and there's no denying that.. .the reality is they don't give a s---, they just want to do what they've always wanted: gouge out the eyes of the people they hate, and say anything they have to to TL;DR They don't actually care. They never have. This is just another weapon to use against their enemies.
