>Hongyu Wu was a 20 year-old university student who passed away the day before Overwatch, a game he was eagerly anticipating, came out. He was reportedly trying to catch a thief who stole his friend’s motorbike. As part of a recent Overwatch patch, Blizzard paid him tribute. >On the Control Center portion of Lijang Tower, you’ll notice that the astronaut space suit display case has changed. The name Hongyu has been added to the red side. Behind it, you’ll find Mercy’s catchphrase,“Heroes never die.” >Wu was a student at Guangzhou University, and he reportedly witnessed a thief snatch a classmate’s motorcycle. He chased after them on his own motorbike. The two eventually collided, and Wu’s injuries were so severe that he ultimately passed away. The thief was, however, apprehended as a result of Wu’s bravery.
Wow. I remember joking that you should watch out so you don't die before Overwatch comes out. Guess someone actually did.
I guess that's nice of them but then everyone's going to bitch to get added in when a friend or loved one dies and bitch harder when Blizzard doesn't add them in the game.
>my mom died, add a tribute >my friend died, add a tribute >my lizard died, add a tribute
Elijah Phillips
Are they going to acknowledge the other 10,000 Chinese who die everyday in that piece of shit country?
Anthony Peterson
Nigger that's not bravery that's being a fucking retard
Liam Bell
Except this guy was pretty young and died trying to catch a thief.
Adam Garcia
>letting some rando steal your friend's bike and not chasing them down in a high speed chase
Loser
Wyatt Price
how come he died the same way as the plot to akira starts?
Hudson Bell
Can you imagine the guilt the friend is feeling? A motorbike is just a motorbike, I would never want anyone to put themselves in danger for my material shit. That's my job.
Hunter Nelson
>pretty young
Please, he's Chinese. He'd have been

Benjamin Edwards
>actual heroism in China
color me surprised. I always knew they had it in them.
John Garcia
There's a few directions this thread will go >china is terrible he was one of the thousands that die everyday lol nothing special >dumbass trying to catch a thief on his own instead of letting authorities handle it
if you're lucky, overwatch lewds
Lincoln White
Why do you shitpost with such passion in any thread even remotely chinese related? Did a chink rape your mom? It's okay user you're between friends, tell us what happened.
Levi Miller
why are the chinese being pushed so hard
it's getting too obvious now

Huh? There's literally one (1) Chinese hero and one (1) map set in China.
Jonathan Powell
Implying those non existing dicks can rape anything.
Jonathan Davis
this is just another thing glorifying chinese, which has been a big trend these past few months
tons of people die everyday and lots of them die doing brave or honorable things.
Jaxon Parker
>why are they catering to their fanbase? >what do you mean people outside of the US play online games?
Dominic Hughes
kotaku was hardly affected at all, they were simply bought from gawker by a different company, same shit, maybe different business cards
Dylan Davis
>Chinese >guilt >remorse >any human feeling at all
Dylan Gray
True. But China single handedly made the Warcraft movie profitable. They're actually cool with Blizzard so Blizzard throws them a bone to maintain a decent relationship.
Landon Collins
Oh no, I know you, every single china related thread, every single time.
Jaxon Williams
>But China single handedly made the Warcraft movie profitable.
Yeah because it's not like China hasn't been caught falsifying their box office records in recent years, to make themselves seem like a more profitable market
Reminder that most of Warcraft's biggest turnout showings were at one company's line of theaters, and among them were very suspicious cases like a theater smack in the middle of a flooded district having record turnouts
John Gonzalez
>Nathan Grayson
Isn't he one of the 5 cucks of gamergate?
Austin Bennett
Sometimes I imagine these are the population control methods they use rather than freak accidents.
Brody Cruz
But why would they do that?
Unless they remit proceeds to the studios in the falsified high amount, the studios would know they're lying and disregard China.
Brayden Diaz
Knowing chinks, he's probably pissed that his motorcycle got fucked up.
Hunter Miller

doesn't seem to have affected his career one iota. suspicious, huh? meanwhile zoe quinn is still so far up her own anus that she had to get completely blown the fuck out by Nintendo confirming that joke in Paper Mario was referring to Watergate after all and as it turned out, the entire world did NOT revolve around her and who she fucked

Because China rewards being an asshole. I have real skills that allow me any success in the real world, so not being an asshole is all I've got.
In China, being nice only ever gets you stabbed in the back. Made a very particular business deal? Yeah, cool. You'll get what we give you whenever we feel like it, haha! Helped a dying kid in the street? We might implicate you in his death.
It's a country that rewards selfishness, and it frustrates me to see people get away with having the faults I pride myself on avoiding.So, I find it easier just to blanket the whole country as non-people. That way everything still seems right with man, and I feel a little more secure.
Daniel Allen
Motherfucker basically lived Grand Theft Auto in his last moments. Guy went out like a legend as opposed to dying in his own filth at like 80.
Kayden Phillips
You have to understand just how mindbogglingly huge China is. And how hard they lie about damn near everything. And how hard it is to find proof that they're lying. The entire country is pretty much corrupt from top to bottom. But because 1/7th of the entire planet lives there, it's always profitable

I remember a year ago being genuinely fucking terrified at the notion that I might die before MGSV came out.
I guess the joke was on me.
Ayden Jones
>I always knew they had it in them. I mean that dude who blocked three tanks at Tiananmen square may be one of the ballsiest mother fuckers ever.
Watch the video if you've never seen it. They try to go around him and he just moves in their way like "Where ya goin".
Cooper Miller
im white and my wife is chinese and we're going to have half-breed kids together. how does that make you feel?
Jayden Parker
well the article is clearly written by a quinn apologist but they still condemn her a little further down for being such an attention whore in this particular case, because she rustled the jimmies of a huge number of neogaf shitters and whiteknights only for the entire lot to be told "this was never about you in the first place", finally
Nathan Johnson
>so not being an asshole is all I've got. >So, I find it easier just to blanket the whole country as non-people
Everytime someone starts their posts with "I'm a good person", it's like a red flag for self-righteousness.
Dylan James
>Nathan Cuckson >people actually read the shit these people write
Ryan Perez
Think that will stop them? They'll whine louder. "Waaah my mom died in her sleep put me-put her in the game". I respect Blizzard doing stuff like this, it shows they still care somewhat about the community.
David Howard
im surprised you didnt off yourself after the disappointment lel

Everyday life over there sounds like a real-life Paul Verhoeven movie in the absolute worst case scenario, most nightmarish sense possible.

Not the first time Blizzard is cashing in on corpses. They did a similar thing for Star Craft 2 back in the day.

i was honestly just linking an article about the controversy that wasn't kotaku or whatever. i don't really give a single shit about who the author is or their beliefs.
David Bailey
Fucking I might move to China that sounds great.
David Lee
He's not a "quinn apologist" He is smacktalking her and calling her a horrible person in the comments of the damn article.
"victim" does not mean "innocense". It means something happens and it affects you negatively. His wording implies he feels sympathy for her, but it is clearly not the case by reading a bit further.
She's a victim of harassment. The fact that she's deserving of it doesn't mean it's not harassment. She's a victim of harassment just as much as I'm a victim of your shitposting

Its literally in the filename, man.
The original Robocop movie.
Nolan Taylor
pretty sure it was proven that she was doing most of the harassment/doxxing to herself though (with further fake self-doxxing from that dramamonger Phil Fish to try and give credence to her claims), not sure since i never followed the clusterfuck very closely like some insane people did.
Jace Parker
All of these are actual things that happened in china m8.

It's the same format too. Snapshot of the article title, greentext summary. Are we being raided?
Elijah Lopez
Robocop came out in 2014. That gif doesn't look like a 2014 movie...
Thomas Ortiz
Yeah the still photo, despite being pretty powerful on its own, doesn't do tankman as much justice as the video.
All of those things have happened in most countries with a large population and history longer than 100 years.
Basing your world view off news articles is a very stupid thing to do.
Adam Watson

Aye, and as soon as you enter the US you'll die in a mass shooting.

Completely indifferent. I hope your kids are beautiful m8.
Yeah, you ain't wrong.

Ian Kelly
>spamming photos of her with cum photoshopped in it >justice Come the fuck on man The guy mostly just seems to criticise people for being massive asshats, not defending her.
Correct, she faked being a victim for muh sweet whiteknight attention. But then after shit hit the fan she got actual harassment and continues to get it to this day.
Kayden Foster

when does it stop qualifying as harassment and start qualifying as a self-fulfilling prophecy though?
like she shouted and started the avalanche with all the attention whoring, but you can't blame the avalanche for burying her afterwards.
