This is not intended as a defense for @Blizzard_Ent, but I do hope more and more people start to pick up on the fact that large companies, especially publicly held ones, only feign morality and only do so when it fits the bottom line...

The best we can hope for is completely corporate neutrality and a lack of suppression of diverse views (Blizzard failed that second one _hard_). If they can at least be neutral then _we_, as the players, can use their platform to further human rights.

Or is it that they feel they have no right to impose their views on other countries. Sometimes you have to take local sensitives into account, even if you vehemently disagree with them. It's a very imperialist attitude to do otherwise.

I fully believe Blizzard NA is a pro diversity branch. I also fully believe there are Blizzard employees in Russia (most possibly Russians) that believe having gay people in their country is the Devil's work. You know?

I think it's impossible to ask every employee of a global company with cultures so vastly different be on the same page concerning every issue. And even if they might be, they shouldn't be forced to act in a way that puts them in danger for saying x or y thing

Corporations only exist to make money. If a corporation decides to take any activist stance, question its motives. 99.99% of the time it will lead back to making money.

For the Tracer comic: wouldn't it fall under "LGBT propaganda" under Russias laws and therefore be illegal to distribute? I would love for Tracer to be gay globally but unfortunately some countries still don't like that gay people exist.

The lack of availability in Russia is a supplemental point confirming the politically contentious issue of Pride, but their willingness to sit on one side of the political issue. It being a legal issue in Russia simply means the Blitzchung response justification is...inconsistent
