Then lets remove this one and replace it with an Ex-Girlfriend dummy you can stab. After all, it's not making light of domestic violence, so that would be totally fine.It's not making light of domestic violence.
Cry about in on the forums like the Ess Jay Dubyas that trigger y'all so much. That'll show em!
look 3 posts above yours.... im sad...

yeah i think it would be fine, but speaking that people are gettng offended over male one, imagine the female one, how much hate that would get
this game has stories of rape, domestic abuse, cold blooded murder, and rape then cold blooded murder of the children of rape!
and yall are complaining about a flavour text saying "stab this dummy, cause its illegal to stab the real thing
(garona, blackmoore and how he beat his wife, tried to force her onto arthas, then murdered her, alextraza being forced to mate, then her children corrupted infront of her, or her eggs smashed on her face)
What you choose to do as a personal coping mechanism in your own home is entirely up to you.
No one went "Hey, you can't stab your ex so just pretend to beat them up with this pillow" it's a yellow text comment, which tends to come in two flavours. Either it's background lore or it's a light hearted joke, making a joke about being unable to stab your ex? That's making light of domestic violence.
Because not everyone takes it out on a pillow, not everyone gets mad at an inanimate object and doesn't assault their partner.
It's not so much a matter of offence, it just doesn't really have a place in this game, and it's a subject that doesn't really need a "fun" item.
The issue is the double standard and hypocrisy of SJWs you enjoy so much. You're so focused on the fact people find this in poor taste, trying to maintain a high horse ("lol so triggered! just like teh ESS JAY DUBAYOOS!") that you don't see what's wrong with your perspective.
as i said

so if a joke text about not being able to stab your ex boyfreind offends you, you should stop playing games.... atleast any game not made by nintendo, welcome to the world of dark humor, and reality
Well said. I love how simple expressions of distaste are being equivalated to the screaming fits of a small few 'activists'
I will say some people are overreacting, but the people trying to belittle others' statements of: "I don't like the joke, whatever, I'll get on" are quite annoying.

You could have the world in the palm of your hands
You still might drop it
i dont think its offencive at all, its a fucking joke, a slightly dark joke, but like this kinda joke is what you will hear at any fucking comedy club for adults, and freinds commonly make
hell fucking gravity falls, a kids show about fucking twins in a mystery place, on fucking disney channel made jokes like this "my wife still misses me but her aim is getting better" making a joke that his wife is trying to shoot and murder him.. and that passed, aswell as others
and if this M for mature game on the internet cant let this joke through... wow
Bolded for emphasis, it's a shit edgelord joke that doesn't really add any value to the game. Bit like the Jaina portrait that got changed.
Also your lore recollection is somewhat inaccurate, but that's besides the point, none of those events happened in WoW.
Why is everyone in here acting like this is the first time we've heard of domestic abuse in game? Blackmore beat the shit out of his wife and eventually cut her head off. Nothing wrong there? Garona was produced as an experiment, nothing wrong there? This shit can go on forever.
Why didn't anyone complain about it then? How come you're all complaining about this toy but not about Blackmore raping his wife? Oh that's right, because complaining and whining is the new thing. You people are crazy.
Personally I'm curious how this item will change from PTR to live, as far as it's name and lore text and so on go, and whether Blizzard will comment on it at all, or whether they'll just stealth change it and act like they didn't just try to implement something pretty damn tasteless and dumb.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just wish there was a ex-girlfriend version as well. Watching a female target dummy getting beat up would be hilarious.
But honestly I think they didn't make a female target dummy because it would probably break after one swing. You know, just like their real life counter-part. That's why it's illegal to hit women. Thank goodness! Teehee.
Yeah nah, y'all threw your right to find this "distasteful" away when you threw a god damn tantrum over other concerns from players because ESS JAY DUBYA ESS JAY DUBYOOOOO. In your disillusioned heads every time a player finds something offensive you think it's god damn Hugh Mungus WOT?? level of outrage when it's 999/1000 times a god damn forum post just expressing a concern and you MRA/Gamergate types REEEEEE until Blizzard submits to you.
I actually thought it was funny. Must be exhausting to be butthurt all the time.
