That's the second time you've brought up my post count. I'm sorry, I dont have 50k posts in the last 8 years on this website to hide the relatively few posts on this site. You seem to think that the only time I speak up then is when I'm "outraged", rather, I see people here being attacked for having a valid opinion using fallible logic, yet being compelled to argue against that failed logic is somehow me being "triggered".
People who use the "outraged" or "triggered" argument are nothing more than people who cannot actually articulate the issue, understand it, and then talk about the issue from both sides.
You talk about the issue from one side: Blizzard's right to do it. You never acknowledge the fact that Blizzard has customers and customers have opinions. You then think they shouldn't have an opinion because it "doesn't harm them." Well, neither does the waiter bringing you the incorrect dish, it's still food, eat it you whiney brat.
It's really not that big of a deal that they're removing some of these things, its the bigger picture of it overall, they hypocrisy with some of it and also some of the choices of what they're removing.
Its starting to leave a bad taste in my entire guilds mouths about the whole thing, if it were just the things that could be directly seen as toxic from one player to another sure, but trying to wipe every innuendo from the game? Innuendo's aren't bad things.

I'm simply pointing out how big of a deal this is, specifically to you. You have rarely commented in the past 3 years, yet in a matter of minutes, have exploded with creative fury.
So, to you, this is clearly a big issue, as it has caused you to invest far more time and effort than the past 3 years. And yes, the more you type, the more you prove me correct.
Some removals are weird cause they're not objectifying, gender specific, or homophobic but plenty are good removals; Like most of the female Dwarf ones and the infamous Tauren male one.
Sucks that it takes such a huge business hit for a company to prioritize/greenlit such a change that -maybe- the team has wanted to do for a long time. Of course, the recent legal issue is only part of their recent business hit. Their lackluster content is the other.
Odd, considering I stated that the attempt to push these changes was pointless, as was the disproportional outrage to those tiny changes.

If someone responds to me, I will respond in kind. That's how conversations work. If you don't like it, then don't talk to me. But, if you speak to me, I will speak back.
Meanwhile, these changes are nothing, and people really should have thicker skin about all of it.
"It's not a big deal to me, though I agree with what you are saying, however, you should shut up."
No one on any side of any issue will ever respect this opinion. EVER. Nor should they. If you weren't looking to argue and push people, you wouldn't be doing what you're doing. And if you had a valid reason, you wouldn't then be telling the same people you agree with them.
Nope, that's not what I said, you can just use my comments. It's weird that you wanted to build that strawman.
We have a company that is currently embroiled in a scandal dealing with sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. It's clear this is supposed to make it look like they are cleaning up their image. It's also clear that it's not going to work. People weren't pissed at Blizzard for their emotes. They were pissed at Blizzard because it's a shitty company. But, removing these emotes isn't a huge deal, because it's such a minor aspect of the game.
How many times have you used those emotes?
