I think this is the thing. We are fine with gays, just dont like faggots. we are fine with black people, just not (n words). The ones that act ghetto and thugish. We are fine with white people, just not batshit crazies that push grooming on kids.
Acting like normal people who are productive members of society. But they successfully destroyed whats normal in the west.
I used to think that there was some Activision corporate bs that ran out several of the founders that lead to the influx of sjws. But seeing the virtue signaling posts from several of the founders and original devs news studios I no longer think activision wholly gets the blame. Blizzard most likely chose these bad policies with little to no pressure from the outside.
It is literally ESG crap. Not saying they are innocent, but it is not aberrant leftism. Also, companies get all their money from the outside and every decision they make is about making money- there is no "no pressure from outside"
Wish there was something I could buy with my battle.net money that would actually cost them real money.
Like a plush toy or something I could burn in a fire so they'd be contributing to CO2 to boot.
edit: they've added a gift purchase and gift balance transfer since last I checked. So at least it's possible to send others some battle.net funds so to cancel out money they would have spent on subscriptions or games.
My man, last time I bought anything from Blizzard was a nice sunny Saturday in 1999 when I bought me a StarCraft Broodwar CD-ROM (kids, ask your dads if you don't know what that is).
that Nintendo did with Animal Crossing New Horizons
It's worth noting that in that case it's only the English version (and maybe other localizations) and not the original 日本語. Also unless they've changed it it's still referred to as boy and girl in at least one menu and has little impact on the game itself.
I don't say this to defend Nintendo (or the cancer that is Treehouse in particular), of course.
lol wish there was some more meaningful designators for the two types of bodies that just happen to exist in orcs and humans and trolls and gnomes and those stupid kung-fu pandas and space goats and those new dragonkin things. strange how type 1 tends to have larger muscles and harsher features while type 2 tends to have tits.
Yeah, like me and most of my close friends all met playing it and played through horrificly bad times in its life.
But now not even Wrath Classic, most of our biggest nostalgia, has even blipped the radar. Its literally just trannies and 3rd worlders gold flipping now.
I played wow classic thinking it’s be fun. Most people are older, more mature
I got kicked from a raid group because our raid leader was gay, and he “felt threatened” because he saw me discussing conservative views in an opt on current events/politics discord channel
And this was goon squad. Old something awful trolls that used to terrorize the internet
Goon Squad has been compromised for a long time. I mean, Zoe Quinn started on Something Awful, as did a lot of notorious SJWs.
I had a fine time with Classic in terms of people, but the game is "solved." There is no adventure, just minmax. You can't get the magic of it back no matter what you do and if you try you will just be looked down on for improper play.
I have friends from top guilds who were in multiple world first dungeon clears. The pro-est of the pro. The elite of the elite. Guys with unbelievable dedication to the game. Guys with mindboggling levels of knowledge of everything. Guys who can tell you which patch number <insert minute balance change here> happened.
Same. My best bro was in Vigil, as well as a bunch of other people. Same with Midwinter and a few other now forgotten but once top line guilds. Even I was in a US 20~ guild in my day.
None of them have raiding since like WoD, like me, and even those of us who casualled Legion/BFA are just utterly disinterested. Even those who TBC was their life's obsession didn't go back for TBC Classic.
Because the old guard has been slowly bleed out over the years.
Ghostcrawler? Metzen? Tigole? Furor? Flynn? All gone.
Not only gone but their memory poisoned by scandals so that you cant even recall their old game design when criticizing new one without having the usual "he was a <buzzword>-ist" thrown back to shutdown the conversation.
The new generation of devs are best described as a bunch of nihilistic, apathetic interns who seem to have a grudge towards the popular thing for being popular and made it their mission to subvert it so their creative visions get the proper recognition it always deserved.
And around the world, the ten thousand-odd people who are perma-quitting WoW per day will look at it and go "Oh, body type two?! Clearly, this is what will stop me from cancelling my subscription, and I'll even buy a cash shop mount!"
Well, they don't have selectable pronouns, they just changed "male" and "female" in the character creation screen to body type 1 and 2. Just like Apple changed Siri voice from male and female to Voice 1, Voice 2, Voice 3, etc.
I'm Ok with this. Males are, of course, Body Type 1 (and Voice Type 1 for Apple). Females get relegated to Body Type 2 and Voice Type 2. Satisfy the the tiny percentage of troons out there (minus 42%) and make sure all the women know they are the second option for body type. #2. Doesn't seem like a bad outcome--give the leftists whatever they want.
In a fantasy world where they can pick an avatar that best represents them, they still pick to be a mentally ill person in the "wrong" body.
Maybe because they don't actually want to be the other sex, it's just they seek attention and validation.
Same shit with ''The Sims trans representation''.
There is no point. You can pick the sex of the characters. It's attention-whoring.
The difference between "gay" and "queer".
*between gay and faggot

I can't boycott blizzard any harder
Blizzard is just whores for the highest bidder. The only people at fault for this is the us politicians and globalists who sold us to China.

Buy a physical copy and then file a chargeback claim with your bank for fraud?

Yeah, the Japanese version of Animal Crossing has 'Boy' and 'Girl' options for your characters.

I feel like there used to be a word for that difference…… I believe it was male and female.
Complain that your pronouns aren't available until they relent to making them user generated. Wait for the lulz.
I wonder if they charge for pronoun changes like they do name changes….. this is going to cost the ill thousands.
Honestly, genuinely surprised Blizzard of all people hadn't done this sooner.
It might actually benefit them, as the only people willing to give them chances again are the easily baited trannies that this appeals to.
I was thinking the same thing.
There's nobody else playing their games anymore. Certainly not something as utterly ruined as the carcass that is WoW.
Yeah, like me and most of my close friends all met playing it and played through horrificly bad times in its life.
But now not even Wrath Classic, most of our biggest nostalgia, has even blipped the radar. Its literally just trannies and 3rd worlders gold flipping now.
The problem is the community
I played wow classic thinking it’s be fun. Most people are older, more mature
I got kicked from a raid group because our raid leader was gay, and he “felt threatened” because he saw me discussing conservative views in an opt on current events/politics discord channel
And this was goon squad. Old something awful trolls that used to terrorize the internet

Had no idea cause I hadn’t kept up with SA for a decade or so. Sad to hear
And yep about the magic. That’s exactly what I realized. The game is full of very autistic try hards.
I’ll probably play WOTLK for a few months just for nostalgia and the fact that I have a job that I can play wow at work all day if I want to.
I have friends from top guilds who were in multiple world first dungeon clears. The pro-est of the pro. The elite of the elite. Guys with unbelievable dedication to the game.

They haven't touched WoW in almost a decade.
Same. My best bro was in Vigil, as well as a bunch of other people. Same with Midwinter and a few other now forgotten but once top line guilds. Even I was in a US 20~ guild in my day.

I think most of the mutants have moved on to FFXIV. Maybe Blizzard hopes this can win them back, but I doubt it.
Warcraft devs appear to FUCKING HATE their playerbase.
I wonder why?

Blizzard is killing WoW slowly and they don't even care.
And around the world, the ten thousand-odd people who are perma-quitting WoW per day will look at it and go "Oh, body type two?! Clearly, this is what will stop me from cancelling my subscription, and I'll even buy a cash shop mount!"
I hope they go all out with custom gender and pronouns so I can make a chad-like avatar with Apache Web Server as a gender and pronouns of http/https.
would be gloryious... esp if it linked to something lulz worthy like a rickroll if your feeling nice or a shock site if not...
Well, they don't have selectable pronouns, they just changed "male" and "female" in the character creation screen to body type 1 and 2. Just like Apple changed Siri voice from male and female to Voice 1, Voice 2, Voice 3, etc.

Doesn't seem like a bad outcome--give the leftists whatever they want.
To my understanding, there are selectable pronouns, just no longer tied to body type, and the "they/them" option is a choice along with he and she.
Yeah, actually I think you may be right--additional datamining looks like the pronouns change is coming. Bummer.
The woke they are.. the more skeletons they hide in terms of rapists, pedos and molesters.
I wish I could figure out the how to make a private server. Current blizzard has destroyed what was a good game. Now making it worse
They won't stop until they're made to stop.
