    Blizzard could only get 1 transgender person to come for their intro so they had him speak like 7 times to everyone elses 1 or 2.

    INtro was the cringest thing ive ever seen.. Its as if they found ppl that looked like junkrat and roadhog irl, then paired them up with a bunch of transgender ppl to make a cringe sob story about how they discovered gaming..

    Did they go out their way for 'diversity'? Certainly seemed that way as opposed to just picking random fans / pro players.

    Also the guy announcing Mike sounded like he was impersonating Metzen - but not quite Metzen.

    The opening was like a great advertisement for Drama Time. Not so much for Blizzcon.

    While others are giving ugh about the intro, I liked it. In a time when we're STILL constantly bombarded with how horrible and evil and low class gaming and gamers are, I like seeing these montages of just how important and meaningful gaming as a hobby is to people.

    I'm mainly listening at work, not able to fully watch. Maybe that made a difference.

    Don't they know that kind of stuff is over with now. Only people who care about that are sjws and people who have #resist on their twitter profile.
