I love the number of Batman’s big villains who know his secret identity because they get to do the truly Extra stuff like this. Alfred seems to appreciate it less though.
So this whole, “Turn Mei into a pro Hong Kong meme to get Blizzard banned” thing is a great idea, but I think we could do more. We could do something that would not only help the movement, but also increase political and financial pressure on China.
We turn Mickey Mouse into a pro Hong Kong, anti China/Xi Jinping meme. China was quick to ban Winnie the Pooh over a joke, imagine how quickly they would ban Mickey if he was used as an actual anti CCP symbol, and the resulting fallout with, and pressure from Disney, considering the Park they just built in Shanghai, and all the film revenue they stand to make.
Perhaps we could even do the same with a few Marvel characters. Something tells me Tony Stark would openly, and obnoxiously support what the Hong Kong protestors are doing.
Something I remember from my Criminal Law classes is that, quite genuinely, looking at someone (occasionally even pointedly not doing so) can constitute assault.
It seems absurd, looking at someone? Where’s the harm, right?
Well, it turns out it’s so that the law has recourse against people who just stand in a public space and start through someone’s living room window. For weeks.
Just randomly chasing somebody, even without intent to actually harm, is legally assault. It’s not harmless, it’s months or even years of therapy and paranoia against ever going outside your home, if you even think your home is still safe.
TLDR: Yes the law has already seen you play “I’m not touching you” and it is already fed up with your BS.
My ADHD ass: Shit. It’s almost 11 AM. Which means it’s almost 12 PM. Which means it’s practically 3:00 in the afternoon. Where has the day gone??? Guess nothing got done today……
