also alot of rioters (like head of the balance team) were speaking out against it, that's the first time i have ever seen them do that

I’m so proud of my colleagues for speaking up against this. The unity displayed made me tear up several times tonight.

Dude, it is so difficult to trust anything you say! Even if you are named after a side character from A Pup Named Scooby Doo, you're a literary device! Very clever, Red Herring. I see what you did there.

This is an original joke :)

Thank you for speaking out about important issues like this. I think you deserve a lot of credit for that as an individual.

With that said, I'm still dissapointed that the team as a whole, who have proven they have collective bargaining power, aren't using it to do something about this. It's not unreasonable to assume that Riot could force tencent to allow it to purchase the company back by staging a complete walkout, considering most if not all of the development happens in America (as of right now, this may not always be the case.)

This is a complex situation and there's a lot of stuff that doesn't reach the public (nor should it). I can't tell you not to pass judgement on any one person, but you should be aware that you don't have the full story of anything that is going on.

The mental gymnastics to soothe a guilty conscious is astounding. This guy thinks it's fine to support a support a country going full Nazi because he feels he can protect people in the west from privacy violations? Woke capitalism at it's finest, what a joke.

It's fine to work for Riot, but don't go around pretending you care about human rights of other countries.

I actually do care about the human rights of other countries. But I also recognise there's a limit to the impact I can have. I do the good where I can. I sleep well enough at night knowing I am doing some good rather than doing nothing because I'm not ethically perfect.
