Fans fight back: businessinsider.com Furious fans are hitting back at Blizzard by using one of its characters in anti-China memes after the gaming company punished a pro gamer for defending the Hong Kong protests Fans have now taken steps to boycott Blizzard games, accusing the California-based studio of prioritizing its relationship with China over protecting free speech. In an attempt to further disrupt Blizzard's relationship with China, people have started using the Chinese character Mei from Blizzard's "Overwatch" as a mascot in pro-Hong Kong memes and posts on social media. Some protesters using Mei in their messages have said they want to get "Overwatch" banned in China by making the character into a protest icon, damaging Blizzard's profits in the process.
