Pretty sure most political discussions these days go like this anyway... Regardless, your analogy is flawed in that you are comparing someone exercising their right to free speech against translators, who risk losing their income with any negative comment they make regarding Qidian or their policies, a comparison which I believe is greatly misleading.
However, I agree that we should not completely discount a translators opinion, rather we should treat their comments as an extension of QI's position on the subject, as opposed to a completely personal and unbiased account of their own.
