Blizzard should start hiring guys from SWTOR or FF, they know how to put out sexy bikini armor.

But, still, this is fucking pathetic. I really hate being proved completely correct on this "slippery slope" of censoring sexy women to appease fat and ugly (they oftentimes happen to be utterly hideous on the inside, mind you) Feminists. Next will be removing all Succubi because this is "a kid's game"/"they are pandering to the male gaze" and Shivarra because "butthurt Hindus feel offended"/"the harlots show too much skin". Now they are getting rid of silly words like "bitch", and "consort", next thing they will be forcing all female characters to wear full-on Puritan garb at all times, even when "undressed", and removing the Orc female and Night Elf female dances for being too "sexual" and "not in alignment with our SocJus corporate leaders".

Censorship never starts with something big, it always starts small, like removing Daisy Dukes' short-shorts, or Jaina and Sylvanas' bellybuttons, and starts to creep in everywhere else. Get Woke Go Broke is a reality simply because 99% of the playerbase aren't insane Hegelian cultists that feel that destroying things of beauty and fun will somehow magically create a "perfect" game or society. Removing "bad" or "offensive" things doesn't make the game better, it just degrades it and makes it feel like modern "comedy".

[Liftbrul]

You did it Blizzard. You destroyed sexism.

[confety]

Can someone explain to blizzard what a consort is?

Starting to get too much cringe and weird, who are this changes made for???

You'd have a point if that was actually happening.

Bravo to blizzard. get hit with a bunch of sexual harassment suits and shown how you treat REAL WOMEN IN THE REAL WORLD and you answer by censoring anything that might even show some shoulder in game and many things that make no sense. Are there some things that could get tweaked in game? Sure. Is the love rocket one? or a painting of a woman on a random dungeon wall one? no, that's just pandering hardcore. Remove "bros before ho ho hos" and other stuff of it's ilk but we don't need to suddenly have all women in game running around in 10-12 layers of clothing because showing even a tiny bit of skin is "indecent".

"Our developers can't work on a game where they see polygon breasts!!! It makes them want to commit sexual assault in the workplace! We don't know what to do other than this!"

Diablo 4 succubus will wear a protective suit to cover up

Renaming/removing characters, getting rid of articles of clothing or adding them to get rid of sex appeal, removing slightly risque paintings because "OMG BOOBS EXIST!", getting rid of "offensive" (to retards) terms like "consort" or the word "bitch", none of that is totally a censorship trend being peddled by sex-negative communist fruit loops. It's all just a big coincidence! Like when Sylvanas started being promoted in literally everything right after her cuck fanboi, Danuser, became "Lead Narrative Designer".

No. It's Blizzard, as a company doing this. There are no demands for these changes. Anywhere. They got sued and are going on a warpath to try to make themselves look better. Maybe if you weren't so terrified of women you'd understand this.

[Easo]

Ok, screw the penis rocket, fine.
But consorts???!!! Let me guess, since the word has multiple meanings starting from wife to sex slave the issue is that the two in game were "created to serve" an evil overloard (Thunder King), so instead of showing that TK was a bastard, we... do what, exactly? Censor the word to "lessen the impact on young minds"?
It is looking increasingly obvious that other things will, after all, receive a "passover" changes.

Damn Horseshoe theory in practice here.

Remember when Liberals weren't considered the Puritans?

Ah, of course, the idiotic and baseless "YOU JUST HATES DA WAHMENS!" ad-homonym. No, it couldn't possibly be that Blizzard, as a company, is ran by a bunch of Communist-wannabes/champagne socialists, and they are censoring things according to their programming. No needed to "ask" for any of these changes, they are being done in accordance with Blizzard's leftist cult belief system. If it were really about a BS lawsuit (which was likely bunk to begin with, and was just a tool for the Social Justice lunatics to overthrow all of those ickey men), it wouldn't have had numerous changes happen before the lawsuit even existed.

[Voidism]

It's almost like men are still in power. This Madonna-Whore complex they have is really showing that they are incapable of seeing women as simply a group of individuals.

There is literally no audience for these changes, these imaginary feminists you're blaming don't exist, and had zero part in this. If you want to blame someone, blame the morons in suits who think randomly changing mildly revealing art in a 20 year old video game is somehow going to make up for a mountain of sexual assault claims, because this is performative bullshit all the way to its core and isn't making anyone happy.

It's almost like men are still in power. This Madonna-Whore complex they have is really showing that they are incapable of seeing women as simply a group of individuals.

Seriously lmao. In this effort to pretend to be "better" they've actually put a giant, ugly spotlight on exactly what the core problem is that leads to these ass-backward views on sexuality of any kind.

It's a unique kind of schadenfreude to watch a bunch of out of touch dudes attempting to make a game more woman-friendly by censoring... "consort"? Do they not actually know what the word consort even means?

I just hope you're a troll cause otherwise holy shit do you need help.

""Heroic: Twin Consorts" to "Heroic: Twin Empyreans""

I like how they erase everything female from the game and call that a move against sexism.

[holywhiskers]

I thought alt right idiots learned to shut up on the internet. Coming out in droves in this thread. What Blizzard is doing isn't good. But ton of fucking cold takes here about it. Talk to an actual women irl, we aren't scary.

[MCMLXXXII]

So are they going to change that area in Badlands too? The one with the "The Day That Deathwing Came"-Quest? The questname is dubious but the shape of the area really doesn't leave much room for imagination
