Discrimination against orcs because of the crazy shit they did has been a catalyst for most of the events of WoW, and a sizeable portion of Warcraft in general.
is right, they can either fade into irrelevance, do stupid shit like this so that we talk about WoW, or actually do something good. So they pick option 2
No-one asked for it, it's the terminally-online basketcases they have working for their writing staff now that are changing it for their own preferences because they have conniptions when they see innocuous shit like this for some reason.
genuinely curious as to when its okay to depict someone as a racist. because they are actually being racist in-universe. like if a game had a klansman as a villain are they not going to let him call people racial slurs despite being a fricking klansman?
I don't understand this concept at all, it seems to just be them blanket changing anything that would've sounded slightly offensive like its going to magically fix all the awful shit thats happened within the company. I'm glad this shit is so transparently stupid though it might get more people to realize how all this shit is just companies trying to cover their own awful behavior with lazy pandering
At this point if every character is being re-written to avoid hurting any other character's feelings at any time, why are they even fighting?
Why not call it World of Acceptancecraft?
>referencing skin color is racist
I don't know if this is woke or /misc/. It sounds like some kind of elaborate troll given the fact that wokists define everyone by skin color.
Any time a game becomes safer for marginalized groups, you guys sperg the frick out. Why is this? There is literally nothing but positive things about your post OP
because we literally know blizzard is completely full of shit on this >don't worry guize we're totally combating our awful workplace conditions by changing lines of text nobody even noticed in the first place >by the way the guy who was in charge during all the bad shit is still here.
>safer
Anybody who can be endangered by words in a game should not be allowed to have any interaction with other humans whatsoever and should likely be locked away inside a padded room for their own protection
it's bait, but i want to say it.
people that think like you do all deserve to die. i can only hope that one day some magic force will make you all drop instantly.
Congratulations you low IQ sperg, your argument only enforces them and makes them look like saints compared to your sperg DIE DIE DIE bullshit. Grow the frick up and argue like an adult
>Grow the frick up and argue like an adult
To what end? Will polite debates on a Tibetan basket-weaving forum put an end to the censorship?
No, I didn't think so, fricking moronic homosexual.
To be fair I'd have continued to forget about wow entirely if it wasn't for these threads highlighting their daily attempts to frick it up even further.
So after killing the entire goddamn joke behind the existence of Maximillian of Northshire and made his questline completely moronic they've finally gone and ruined Johnny Awesome's as well
>Blizzard was sued for criminal stuff that some people of the Blizzard team did. >there is literally no lawsuit in regards to any game content and game text >Blizzard changes "racially suggestive dialog" >in a literally racism and race war game that made it's money by literal racism and literal race war
If Blizzard wants to show that they aren't racist, they have to give every single cent back they got since the release of WoW. WoW is racist and you are put into a faction based on your race. You are in a war based on your race.
Literally everything in regards to your character and other characters is hard based on racism without any doubt.
If you want to tell me that you fight racism in a game that is literally a racism simulator since it's existence, then I will only believe you if you literally remove WoW and give back the money which was made through the racism simulator.
People decided that Ace Ventura is actually heckin' problematic and not okay and we need to do better, f*lx several years back so now we have to remove any reference to it forever.
Finally, no more anti-Orc racism
>midges
Someone better get fired for leaving this one in.
STOP DESCRIBING THE COLOR OF SKIN YOU FRICKING RACISTS
Who asked for this at all?

according to these people? Never. Absolutely never.

Finally! I'm glad they're focusing on the biggest problems and listening to the community!
Luckily they've stopped targeting women and just focused on men instead.
>Do you want a tissue, boy?
>boy
racist as frick
Whats the context of these anyways
MEAN AGAINST GIRL BAD
MEAN AGAINST MEN GOOD

not him, but if they all dropped dead it would be a net positive for humanity.

OH GOD ARE THESE JOKES IN A VIDEO GAME NOOOOOO THIS IS UNSAFE SAVE ME REMOVE THEM REMOVE THEM REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Removing all references to the word "greenskin" won't un-rape all those Blizzard employees.
>Easter eggs that require a warlock to even see, and can't be seen at all today after Dark Apotheosis' removal BAD!
>amazing/awesome artist and animation people worth thanking
>almost all men
Hmmmm.....
its almost like.....
>Chris Metzen

Yup just pretend they never did the work and claim it was all these secret women who did in 5 months. Like clockwork.
This is a marketing ploy. The more controversy they stir up from these arbitrary changes, the less WoW fades into the void.
yeah this is sure bringing wow back into relevance
To be fair I'd have continued to forget about wow entirely if it wasn't for these threads highlighting their daily attempts to frick it up even further.
I feel like linking a bunch of private server websites every time these threads go up tho. I really want them to succeed.
Playing on a private (actual) vanilla wow server would be the only time I would ever consider playing wow again.
Creating good content would help, but let's not delude ourselves into thinking that's possible.
>Wanna escape the maze.
>Blizz gives me a free mouse mount.
Christ that looks awful, what the frick?
So after killing the entire goddamn joke behind the existence of Maximillian of Northshire and made his questline completely moronic they've finally gone and ruined Johnny Awesome's as well
This is why you don't fricking hired women and queer...

>The gnomish explorer and quest giver Finkle Einhorn has been renamed Pip Quickwit
Why? Its a movie reference
People decided that Ace Ventura is actually heckin' problematic and not okay and we need to do better, f*lx several years back so now we have to remove any reference to it forever.
Reminder this isn't actual wokeness or leftism, it's management trying to deflect attention from the allegations and is purely a PR move.
