Obviously I support the protests in HK, but I think all the anti-China panic lately is about jingoism and the decline of US empire, not a rejection of authoritarian governments. I think if you ever find yourself agreeing with the general gaming community it's best to question the underlying motivations. There's a lot of weird anti-China shit here in Canada in particular.

There was a bunch of outrage earlier this year in the Rainbow Six community over China as well, before the protests (it was about some proposed cosmetic changes that would open up the Chinese market for R6 streaming). Pretty sure this is more about Chinese state/capital starting to have influence over major corporations, threatening US hegemony.
