Blizzard told a fan in the Overwatch League arena they are not allowed to use 👌for its 'association as a white power symbol' after they flashed it on stream and a complaint was made to the OWL account on twitter
Here is the first hand account from a friend of the fan in the arena
Previously Blizzard has banned the use of the pepe the frog within the OWL arena and all teams/players from using it for its association as a symbol with white nationalism/hate groups

There ARE nazis, white nationalists who use these symbols for the purpose of spreading hate. But the vast majority of gamers/people using them have no idea this is a thing and are doing it for fun, along with trolls who like to grief journalists and the media. It's all dumb
Case in point, the fan who 👌on stream did it for the original 'got em made you look' game and had no idea it was used as a hate symbol and was not doing it to troll. they just didn't know.
as a Zen main I am upset my hero will be banned from the game
