... In the moment that they say the full names of every single team. Who could expect that all the boards drama was bs? :O
The next drama: When Riot finally ban the people spamming "Free Hong Kong" and that kind of bs in the Twitch chat and they begin again with the "China censorship" bs [slayer-jinx-unamused]
People had proof from day 1 that they were saying Hong Kong, but noone paid attention to the proof, they just went with what they heard.
This board just looks for excuses to hate on riot.
Oh boy time for a lesson in critical thinking. Have you ever heard of vested interest?
Back when people were accusing Riot of censoring Hong Kong, there were credible clips of casters ‘biting their tongue’ after saying Hong Kong. In addition in the words group draw, HKA’s was the only name to be written AND READ in the condensed form.
Unlike Blizzard, Riot has the benefit of the doubt on their side. After the ‘explanation’ from Riot, Riot now has a vested interest to call HKA by their full name to dispel accusations whether it be right or wrong.
The forums were outraged as no caster would ever say something like “Unicorns of... I mean UOL”‘ so why would casters say “Hong Kong... or HKA rather”. This is awfully suspicious and the fact it happened twice gives more evidence to the claims of the outraged.
I bet you hadn’t even seen the previous clips posted and Riot is banking on your ignorance so they can brush it of. I’m fine with them brushing them off as them calling HKA by their full name is a win-win.
[sg-lux-2] riot avoided saying hong kong attitude people told riot they didn't like it riot listened and started saying hong kong attitude
the only surprise here is that riot listened for once
riot is doing the opposite from what blizzard is doing. they see that trying to censor it doesnt do anything, so is allowing it
but now we are gonna ignore they were censoring it because of this? lol
rose tinted glasses
Some people like supporting censorship I mean these are the same people who wonder why problems in the world exist
They acknowledged on Twitter that there wasn't any censorship and that they simply told the casters to avoid talking about the HKA controversy for political reasons.
