    Not to mention how Tarantino uses his movies as a vehicle for the people he sees as wrong, if not evil getting their comeuppance by killing them in a completely overblown manner. Like, I dunno, the slave owners that used the N-word as one of the tools of dehumanizing and oppressing their slaves.
    Yes, agree completely. In those like I said it drives the story but in lets say Pulp Fiction where he himself tosses it around it had 0 value to the story. Obviously the movie is old so things like that were still pretty normal. I remember my parents using terms that are completely racist casually, without having any hate behind their words.

    Read the books, look at his character portrayal in any other quests. He never used the word bitch anywhere else, only in that one quest regarding Sylvanas giving him lip. And yes, I interpret that unwarranted because he literally threw a dude off a cliff and didn't resort to petty insults.

    That one line stands out amongst the rest and I'm not dismayed by the change. Just look at the other comments regarding the same thing. It wasn't written well considering the message would gave carried with enough impact without saying bitch, and thats how he was written for every other piece of dialogue he had.

    He would use derogatory terms, yes. He would insult people, yes. But he didn't call people a bitch to their face any time before or after that one scene, and the context of 'well another lich king' doesn't warrant its use IMO. It would be like if Uther or Muradin uttered a direct insult at Arthas, they never did this and it wouldn't be in their character to have done so no matter how dire the situation. Thats how I viewed Garrosh as a Warchief, expecting more passive-aggressive dialogue than going the route of a direct insult. He carried the higher rank, and I don't see a Warchief insulting his commanders directly befitting for the early Cata portrayal of Garrosh, however disgusted of Sylvanas they wanted to show. I feel it was beneath him to insult directly, and his style was always to put people down in a more indirect, scathing matter (which he was doing in that dialogue already).

    That is why I won't miss it. And frankly, I am not interested in reasons other people think it is warranted, since I have a clear idea in my head of how Garrosh should have acted back then based on the book and his other quests.

    Isn't tossing a dude off a cliff, like, WAY worse than just insulting them?

    No big deal. One of the rare IRL insults they used though instead of the fantasy heavy "maggot" "dogs" "mongrels" we usually read/hear in game.

    The guy saying "but I like to play with muh kid" however needs to realize he is playing a (albeit cartoony) game with themes of mass murder, killing, pillaging, and the daily collection of animals innards.

    But yes please think of the children because words ya know. Next remove any sign of cleavage/"loose attire" please because everyone remembers the Janet Jackson controversy right.

    Oh, I absolutely think it was for a very obvious other reason known as toxic feminism/political correctness.

    I swear, if any feminist from 30+ years ago saw how Garrosh called her that and why, they would more than likely agree, as what she was doing was very heinous.

    I do think they could use a more impactful bit of language though, it never sounded right to me, but oh well. Bitch implies a female dog but I think what she was doing was just too far beyond for something like that. That's what you call a girl who is being mean or something lol... not a girl who is killing people then raising them into a slavery-filled undeath. *upside down smiley face goes here*

    Yes, but this isn't about what is worse it is about what is in his character.

    Garrosh uses a lot of slander. Rarely does he get riled up to insult, so when it did happen it felt very out of place to his character. Think of a James Bond villain dialogue and now think of them calling Bond a 'bitch', it'd be out of place if it were to happen, it is not expected. Bond villains could make examples of their own minions and kill people without a second thought, and they generally don't resort to petty insults. These aren't mutually exclusive things.

    It felt really out of place and forced to begin with. The whole dialogue looked stupid because of that word.

    If they really wanted to do such seemingly forced name-calling then saying something like 'you stupid little shit' would have been a whole lot better than the overly articulated and emphasized 'bitch' they settled on.

    Imagine if he called her a Ninny. That would be fine to you because his character is prone to insults, right? Ninny is an insult.

    The context of what was said is important to the character. Garrosh would use slander and derogatory terms plenty, but there was certain verbiage that he didn't use. And frankly calling her a bitch did show him losing his cool, but the way Garrosh loses his cool is by throwing people off cliffs or challenging them in fights, not calling them names.

    Its why he picked a fight with Cairne. We even show him trying to pick a fight with Varian. Sylvanas gives him lip and he just calls her a bad name. To me it would have been better if he continued the slander or simply put her in her place with force (which of course would never happen back then since 'that would be misogynist')

    "I thought I smelled the stench of Alliance pigs." -Garrosh, upon seeing Varian in a neutral setting.

    This is the man that would totally not throw any insults in the spur of the moment. Sure.

    Yes, calling them pigs is slander. Derogatory terms is what he's known for. He didn't outright call Varian a Son of a Bitch did he?

    And if he did I'd argue it isn't in his character to do so. I didn't see him the type to go around calling people Sons of bitches.

    This is such pedantry it almost physically hurts, lol.

    But hey, I guess he isn't the type to call people 'sons of bitches', but Sylvanas sure is.

    Yes, because she is not Garrosh, Warchief of the Horde, at the moment that she called Arthas a son of a bitch.

    Again, context matters.

    I would say Garrosh should have acted more like how Saurfang did during BFA. That was already more the role he was in. Saurfang of course is WAY more mature, but he had plenty of choice dialogue against Sylvanas and even challenged her to Mak Gora without ever having (or needing) to call her a bitch. That is more the style of dialogue that was expected, even if Garrosh was more prone to using slander.

    I'm not against the use of the word bitch or son of a bitch, buddy. Sylvanas had all the right to call Arthas a son of a bitch for what he done to her. Garrosh calling Sylvanas a bitch was just him not liking the tone of her mocking reply. Garrosh fully capable of planting an axe in her skull, but instead treats her like an angsty teenage stepdaughter.

    Or maybe it was the fact that she was using necromancy and that he figured she was going to use the Blight, which she was being sardonic about.

    The wild west of the internet/online culture is gone with the mainstream.

    I really don't get why people care so much about words, the game is pegi 12 here, "bitch" especially in a fitting context like that should never be a problem.

    However, i actually agree that it sticks out for the usual WoW dialogue so eh... whatever.

    Right, and he said everything that needed to be said and the entire dialogue carries just as much weight and meaning to it if he had not called her a bitch. I would rather they had edited in another word rather than leaving it blank but like I said, I don't think he would have 'lost his cool' enough to use a difect insult and I felt it was out of place when he used it even back then. You don't feel that way, I'm fine with that, but you can't really change my opinion with reasons that make sense to you but completely do not fit my view of how I think Garrosh should have or would have reacted instead.

    Again, Sylvanas did way worse in BFA, and Saurfang didn't call her a bitch. My point is about characterization, not whether she deserved to be called that or not. Up to that point, Garrosh never used a direct insult of that degree. He usually skips direct insult and jumps straight to the face punching.

    From what I've heard about this danuser guy, sounds like you guys might be onto something.

    Now if only they would make Garrosh say something else instead...
