Just Stop Oil, a group demanding the U.K. government stop licensing new fossil fuel projects, made headlines yesterday for protesting during a Tekken 7 tournament finale at EGX. Many people online have criticized the group’s actions, but they clearly worked, because here we are talking about it.
On Sunday, Oct. 15, three protestors walked onto the EGX stage. Two of them smeared orange paint over the players’ monitors, while another shot some out of a water gun at the large screen showing the match to the live audience. They then said, “We are demanding that the U.K. government immediately cease all new licensing for coal, oil, and gas,” receiving boos from the crowd before security arrived and removed them. They were reportedly arrested for criminal damage.
