http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/337045/Tencent_introduces_streaming_rules_to_stay_on_the_upandup_with_Chinese_law.php You can't do this if you stream Tencent games. Violation of China’s social values involving sensitive topics such as politics, ethnicity and religion Promoting or publishing content that violates China’s social values, including but not limited to pornography, gambling, terrorism Behavior that damages the Tencent Games brand directly or indirectly Distributing false information to other users through any means Engaging in vulgar or indecent information Distributing or promoting game cheat software or virus software Promoting excessive violence in game or in the real world Infringing on the privacy of other users or revealing other users information without permission Failure to abide by rules of the contract signed with third parties (streaming platforms) Infringing the copyright of game makers or other content creators Causing disputes or adverse social impact Other actions that do not comply with current laws, ethics and game regulations No word if this extends to all the games Tencent has their fingers in, e.g. League of Legends, Epic Games, etc.
"Alright we just got a donation from CapchaKid36 who says: 'Can we get some :Tianamin1989:s in the chat bois?' I don't get it is that an actual emote or-" YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BANNED FROM LEAGUE OF LEGENDS.
Watch this shit get enforced on reddit too.
I somehow doubt anyone outside of China is going to follow any of these rules.
The chinese website for league is directly under Tencent (via qq). It would apply as it would pubg, and possibly apex
Now I want to stream Tencent games and violate all those rules. Fuck Tencent and fuck the Chinese government.
The interesting part is this is only due to a new chinese law according to the announcement, this operation is in response to the internet governance requirements from Chinese authorities, which went into effect two weeks before. I'm not a lawyer, but don't expect any of this to hold up outside of china It's like when you upload a video to youtube. You're applicable to american laws as youtube is a american company. You stream to chinese sites, you have to follow their rules, tecent have investments and do run their own game streaming sites fwiw. Twitch aren't going to do shit if you Tianamin 1989
Both Youtube and Twitch are blocked in China, so peeps steaming there are already dodging the rules anyways.
The Chinese government could use a good hangman for basically all of it's ruling members. Decapitate their entire government, maybe literally.
mv lol.exe tiananmensquare.exe scanner can't scan itself :^)
woah there man don't cut yourself on that edge
I really hope you're joking about that last part, otherwise that is a terrible idea.
So any word if this actually affects anything outside China? Seems to be only for the asian market, mostly China as Tencent there as direct control of the games. In the west Tencent is just shareholder in a lot of games.
Their government is far more abusive and destructive than even our own. They need to die to give the Chinese population any chance at a better future and to protect the rest of the world from their growing influence. The most certain way to stop the ones currently responsible for this is to make them not alive. I'm not going to be ashamed or embarrassed for wanting the horrible leaders of China dead.
I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting the current government to be removed, as I'm definitely one to criticise China regularly, but to respond to the brutality with "How dare you be so brutal...alright, chop their head offs" is absurd, and it is dangerous. You don't discourage behaviour by partaking in it.
China is an actual threat to how our society works, not saying anything about his reply, but it's real and serious
No, that kind of moralizing doesn't work in the real world. There comes a point where you have to be willing to take more drastic and extreme actions to properly produce a result. Too many half-measures will leave you far short of your goal. We like to talk about all things being equal, but not all things in life are equal and as such there is a necessity for unequal responses. So while we can decry the actions of the Chinese government as brutal, the context of them is radically different from wanting the ones responsible for them to be killed.
Can we please go a day without a headline about china crawling into the west like a fungal infection
The PRC government is a blight on the world. They are a malevolent scourge that will one day consume its neighbors and considers it's own citizens to be expendable for the national well being. Force is probably the only way they would ever change or go, given critics get disappeared then fucking killed if they are lucky. What makes them any less deserving than the nazis of it. And no I'm not saying declare war now or anything like this, but I wouldn't care if that winnie the pooh looking mother fucker died right now. Why should I give a damm what happens them over the thousands killed in just the last few decades.
Do you really think that everything will be hunky-dory once we slaughter the Chinese government? What occurs once we've finished wiping the blood off our hands? Do we fall back on the usual; hold elections, then dislike the leader the people choose, so we depose them and shove in our own puppet? I will not dispute that China is a terrifying authoritarian state, but it keeps a substantial portion of its population happy because said population remembers the years of poverty, amongst other reasons. Call it brainwashing, whatever you want. Doesn't really matter why they support the government, because it is enough that they do. How do you think the population will react when those naughty Westerners rush in to get rid of another government? I'm sure some people will be overjoyed, whilst others will have just been fed the biggest piece of anti-West propaganda they could ever dream of. I see no issue with wishing them dead, but I think it is reckless to jump to 'alright, let's kill 'em'. Deposition of a government will have both short-term and long-term effects, can reverberate throughout history, and can always backfire spectacularly. There is no guarantee that the situation will improve afterwards.
"We can't fight the nazis with violence; that would just prove them right! Instead, passively and quietly protest nearby them so as to not disturb their rights and try to make them your friends." I'm sure if Adolf just had one more pen-pal the world would've been spared the horrors of World War II because, deep down, everybody wants to be friends with everyone else and we all harbor a secret pacifist buddhist monk inside our heart-of-hearts.
Indeed. The cancer must be cut from the body for the body to survive.
"We can't kill Hitler and his government -- that sort of intervention just leads to additional Hitlers!" What leads to additional Hitlers is not standing up to Hitler.
Again, you can't just stick to half measures. Consider the extensive effort that went in to the denazification of Germany. You have to go the full way, the extremes to breakdown a society that was built to keep the old, horrible one in power.
Oof, responses posted the same time as me. I get the comparison with Hitler, and how complete apathy or pacifism is hardly going to cause the 'enemy' to quake in their boots, but I believe there has been too quick of a rush to what is essentially war. War impacts more than just the people of the West. If intervention is truly necessary in the end, I do not understand why you insist that the government must then be slaughtered. Also, cos quotes confuse me: This is you refusing to fight cancer because there's no guarantee the radiation therapy will work. No, it is if radiation therapy was presented as 'This has a chance to defeat cancer. It also has an equal chance of catalysing further growth.'
I agree with you to a point because so much of what is wrong with China now dates back to western involvement but that doesn't excuse the monstrous things the PRC does to people and places of it's own volition. Nothing will change in my lifetime I'm almost sure, so its incredibly frustrating.
It's not about 'whether or not they quake in their boots'. It's whether or not they advance or go home. You just described radiation therapy. The problem of cancer is mutations to cells that make them grow badly and refuse to turn themselves off. Radiation causes mutation. It has a higher likelihood in certain scenarios than others to kill off enough bad cells in a targeted region that your body can fight off the resulting possible cancer cells that may results from the radiation itself. Also 'equal chance' is some pretty hard speculation there.
I don't agree with the statement either, they need to be put through due process and prosecuted for what they've done to their people. However, power has always won out, and words can carry power because they are backed by threat of violence. Nice words and pleas don't change things. It's why we need nuclear weapons to have a period of relative peace in our world. It's why the US maintains the largest navy in the world. "Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far"
There's an equal amount, in that there is very little, of proof that kicking the Chinese government out will breed more problems than it fixes. Libya is currently a mess because no one had a real plan as to what would be done after Gaddafi was killed; they're now on their second civil war within less than ten years. I find the argument of 'once you get rid of the government, it'll all be fine at some point' to be a complete shot in the dark. Even worse, if it goes pear-shaped, it is not you or I that will suffer. China should be treated as a special case, though we can refer back to Nazi Germany for some evidence - Hitler was immensely popular when he was presenting the positives of the regime; economic growth, albeit limited & massively overexaggerated, a return to traditionalism that many veterans had wanted since the inception of the Weimar Republic, and social policies that could be, and were, misconstrued as being for the benefit of German citizens. Hitler's popularity then swan-dived when the economy's mask fell away and people were miserable. In China, a large proportion of the population is still in the 'popularity' phase; massive real economic growth, technological developments not seen elsewhere, and a '''''''''modern'''''''' (we in the West know it to be superficial) social dynamic that has not been seen in decades. If you're really gunning for intervention, you've probably suggested the worst time, though I can understand any argument that says popularity is only going to become further entrenched as time progresses.
If it continues as it is now, it is a guarantee that you and I will suffer. People are miserable now; the issue is that the mask can't easily fall away in China because information is tightly controlled and dissidents are located and disappeared far more quickly and quietly than Hitler could've ever dreamed of doing to his political rivals. The best time to attack a cancer is in its formative stages. The worst time is when 'it has failed a little and hasn't made much progress recently'.
