I'm sure the forum can also detect if you're viewing from an iOS product. Should we ban that function until Apple improves their human rights issues? What if you're using a Pixel? Going to the source would be equally effective. Not banning allows conversations regarding all the fucked up shit these companies do, it's certainly been informative to me during these situations.
Are the problematic or do they actively support the oppression of human rights through statements that legitimize those in power who are currently running concentration camps?
If there's a game company that is not tied in some form to China either by publisher, technology used, or selling product I'm willing to bet it's not from lack of trying.
But you don't see a distinction between China running concentration camps and these other places? To be clear let's boycott them all but it's disingenuous to act like China is doing run of the mill stuff.
You need to throw your phone and computer out the window right now if you truly want to go through with your crusade you have going on here, Microsoft and Apple love china, maybe a few of the lights in your home as well, actually cut off your electric as well, you'd be surprised at just how many companies you live under have dealings with china
So go ahead and do it. I don't see what's stopping you. Clearly no one here is agreeing to do it and you're not running this forum. Not sure what you're expecting out of this thread.
Why is stopping all discussion so wildly out of the question? Maybe our enthusiasm is causing horrible things for other people and we should consider new hobbies?
No, you're not. Every modern bit of gaming hardware has a supply chain in China. You can't use modern gaming technology without giving money to a company that does business in China.
If your definition of ethical is only supporting any business that is completely ethical, then yes, everyone is unethical.
Under the manicheistic view of the world you seem to have, yes.
Ah, so you are saying you profited off of oppression. For shame.
Im Interested in how we as a community are pretty good about controlling what content is and isn't allowed on this forum and it's generally tied to a sense that the person or content could be harmful to some in the community or the world.
The only thing shutting down this forum will do is make everyone move their discussion elsewhere. No one is going to boycott all products with links to China just because you told them too. Everyone who bought Blizzard games still going into this thread will continue to do so after they leave. Your black and white extremism will change nothing.
rofl at this bias. where do you think a switch is built, the DQ guy is a holocaust denier, etc
Lol I'm not insisting anyone do anything. Resetera as a forum and community set a standard when they banned websites, games and content producers from having their games/content/news discussed, which is fair.
Nope, that's never been the case. Not sure what you're talking about. People still talk about Dragon Quest and its music here.
What? You know life requires money right? Also what major US company doesn't bootlick for China?
I don't but dragon quest and I'm increasingly leaning towards not buying new systems cuz what you say.
Again, you claim you're honestly engaging, but you're actually trolling and ignoring the difficult questions.
Did I say it didn't require money? No. I said you have a choice about how you get it. But I'll keep in mind that it's crazy to suggest people are responsible for what their labor helps cause.
Human civilization is unsustainable in a way that doesn't oppress human rights... or at least the entire history of our species so far has shown that.
