Freedom of Speech

I know there been a lot of things happened between the two biggest countries in the world. Therefore I would post some view which is not trying to convince anybody, but to provide a different point of view, to help us to observe things more objectively.

In this News, Digital Activists Take Aim at Video Game Companies Over China Censorship, a famous gaming company, Activation Blizzard, has banned an e-sport gamer because he announced some speech in a public game which is offensive to Chinese government and Chinese people. First of all, as a gamer I personally believe that there should be no politics in the sport game (e-sport is considering as a sport :), but many Americans would support the argument that the News made the "freedom of speech", and the "evil" side is China, so we are just gonna hate, hate, hate.

I have learned a lot about the "freedom of speech" in this class, and we have to assume that there is no absolute freedom. You must be responsible for the consequences of every word you've said. In addition, some arguments you might never want to made since you might get in trouble. Thus, how to value the boundary of the freedom of speech is really important. For example, racial argument is literally sensitive in the United States. A "C" or "N' word that speaks out from a white people would result in losing a job, homeless and maybe gone. We can see that racial argument is red zone to American since there are too much history and people fight for it. However, you can made racial argument in a Chinese forum and just few people would care about it. Territorial issue is the red zone of speech in China which is same as the racial issue in the United States. People use their own world view to judge, and they apparently ignore the cultural differences. 

If the right of the freedom of speech is correct, I hope my blog won't result in any problem. Love and Peace!❤
