When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Visit your bank in person or call them up, and tell them you need to reverse all recent charges and payments to Blizzard. Cite them breaking the contractual obligations related to tournament prize winnings and how you spent this money due to wanting to get involved with E-Sports on a professional level. State that you consider your freedom of speech important and cite the plaque at Blizzard HQ for your thoughts as to why you believed your freedom of speech would not disqualify you from your E-Sports career. Now that you are disqualified, you feel that the sale was made in bad faith, and that you demand the charges to be reversed.

Chargebacks put a bad mark on a company. Enough chargebacks, and they will be forced to pay higher fees when taking credit and debit cards, from less than 3% to upwards of 10-20% per transactions. This would only eventually happen if enough people did this together, citing this incident, however even a few chargebacks are enough to make a company sweat. I feel like we have valid grounds and the banks will in most cases side with the purchaser.

Good luck.

Yeah this is interesting poo poo in light of the discussion on how censorship & propaganda works in the China thread. The American government doesn't propagandize through official channels because it's way more effective to co-opt entertainment covertly to the point you don't even realize you're being indoctrinated.

liberal centrists who think politics is just a big exchange of ideas but at the end of the day we're all basically the same and hold the same values

like, Bush's supporters were the same people who spent a whole decade calling her "Ellen Degenerate." She's a case study for the pitfalls of respectability politics, where if the limit of your political ambition is to have equal recognition to the heteronormative majority - then by necessity you have to become an instrument of the same establishment that persecutes people around the world.

If you find that depiction of Winnie the Pooh to be erotic, that's not because the artist went off model. Something else is going on.
