RIOT IS TURNING GAMING INTO A CHINESE COMMUNIST DYSTOPIA

CapitalMusicSnik·1/19/2020, 2:56:29 AM·4 votes·1,215 views

I've been playing that game since 2011. Every year it passes it's rules and punishments are becoming stricter and i find it very relevant with the fact that Riot is technically owned by the Chinese government Freedom of speech is gone, you should not use the chat or you will get banned, which essentially means you should keep your mouth shut! Is it a fair punishment to perma ban an anonymous player who has spent hundreds of euros just because he said some bad words to an anonymous player? What's next? Forced labor? What about a fair trial? Since when some lines of code and a bunch of premades can act as persecutors jury and judge at the same time? What about of separation of power? Also, the honor system is identical to the social credit system imposed by the chinese regime to it's people. We need to wake up and stand against this tyranny. We all have witnessed the censorship imposed by riot on a twitch player supporting freedom of hong kong. And it's only the beggining. What's next? Are they gonna take ourfirearms? Are they gonna close us in detention centers like they did to the Chinese muslim minority to "re-educate" them? Because that's how i feel after 14 day ban. "Change your attitude, reform, act in that way." THE TIME HAS COME FELLOW GAMERS, STAND FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, STAND FOR DEMOCRACY AND GOD BLESS NORDIC and EAST EU!

(Feel free to share your thoughts and add more about the ideology of RIOT and CCP)

Freedom of speech is gone

Here we go again Freedom of speech is not "I can say whatever I want with no punishment", its "Government cant imprison me and my family for my opinion"

you should not use the chat or you will get banned

If you only use chat to flame, sure

Is it a fair punishment to perma ban an anonymous player who has spent hundreds of euros just because he said some bad words to an anonymous player?

Yes

What about a fair trial?

There are rules. You broke them. What trial do you want?

Since when some lines of code and a bunch of premades can act as persecutors jury and judge at the same time?

When you clicked "I agree" while installing a game/creating an account

Also, the honor system is identical to the social credit system imposed by the chinese regime to it's people.

No. Its identical to how actual world works. You break the law and get in jail once, and suddenly your life is much worse overall even years later, and it takes a lot of time and hard work to "reform" in the eyes of society.

It's not that, we just live in a society where saying specific words makes you racist/sexist/homophobic, negative criticism is considered harrassment and the attitude "There are only two opinions, mine and the wrong one" is actually a rule nowadays.

Freedom of speech isn't only about government

It is.

Are they expecting us to use the chat only to say "gj bro", "i love you", "nice skin"?

Well, also some of "lets group mid", "careful Malphite is full ap".

I said the punishment is too harsh for what i did

And I said its too weak. Lucky for you, the punishment is not decided by me, but by automated system

I don't think if you pee on a sidewalk and then government comes and cut your penis that you will say "It's the law, i broke the law, thank you government for cutting my penis"

You didnt get anything cut off, you were banned from using that sidewalk after peeing on others who were walking there. Quite reasonable punishment.

It's true, and what's worse is the way they blatantly lie about it. They'll say "you can talk trash" but you can't. Because the second you talk trash you immediately get punished for it.

Why don’t you share your logs, and the community can judge whether or not you were correctly penalized instead of seeing this long rant that has nothing to do with your punishment.

I agree with OP entirely. I mean do you honestly expect me to be accountable for my own actions? China is taking over!
