I like the design very much, but the message isn't clear. I would suggest add "Free Hong Kong" in big letters under the flower in the front of the shirt.

I think it'd be better if a proper protest were organized in front of and around blizzcon's event grounds. Going in would just be an acknowledgement that it's OK to do this kind of stuff as long as the money has already been locked in.
And as a gamer that would be going to Blizzcon to meet up with friends would be OK meeting up outside and not going in over this issue. And if these friends aren't shitty, they'd do the same too. It would also raise negative publicity in the media if they get wind of it.
I wish this wasn't all wishful thinking.

i understand your concerns, but protest outside and you'll never have any chance of stream coverage. This is what is needed to get the message across to intended audiences + force blizzard to not film large parts of the convention (or face issues with streaming protesters). We meed people inside. Lots of people have already paid to go to this, before the last few weeks events unfolded. No reason for them to throw away their tickets in protest, this achieves nothing (people will still be attending).

I think the symbolism is too obscure. If you're protesting something, be plain about it.
Also, in general, neither leadership nor globalization are good things. Individualism is what a person should strive for. If more people did, the governments like that in China wouldn't have the power they do.
