Blizzard has suspended the Overwatch launch event here in America, fearing major backlash and protests. Activision blizzard stock value has dropped significantly, and the boycott of their games has directly impacted player levels across all of their bread-and-butter games, including Hearthstone, Overwatch, Starcraft, Diablo, and World of Warcraft. But hey, they protected the "pride of China" and isn't that worth more than money? I sure hope so, for their sakes.

The fight continues, through even more hardship, but the people of Hong Kong refuse to yield. Democracy will be theirs at any cost.

As Hong Kong election results pour in, and International pressure mounts, more and more pro-China members of the Hong Kong assembly are losing their positions, much to the public's delight!

This could shift the landscape in Hong Kong. Or, at the very least, mobilize the legislature to action- even if that action is just to prove they have no real power over Beijing's troops. If that is established, the International community will have grounds to advance. It's a very significant win!

The memes are back. Some politicians that had been serving 10+ years have lost seats thanks to this.

Protests continue, as does police brutality, but now the situation in Hong Kong is so widespread that it's actually threatening China's efforts to host the Olympics in 2022 (which I encourage you to voice your opinion on ASAP). Meanwhile, YouTubers are taking a stand by making and posting videos that (while far from great) are numerous enough that China has actually called on YouTube to do something about it- which is funny as hell.
Here is one such video, as I find it amusing.

Despite everything, the Hong Kong protests are actually STILL ongoing. Interestingly, they've moved online too, and the Chinese Government is having just as much trouble stifling them there as they were in the streets. Have a look!

Despite the ongoing Coronavirus fiasco, the protests and resistance in Hong Kong continues. All the same, China seems poised for more "direct" action against the people.
