Maybe they just didn't like the line and decided to change it.
It was kind of cheesy.

OP you do seem to forget that they have tailored this game more for kids over the years

@ Crabmousse By the way, what makes you think I, or the others, are white western males?
There would be a couple of complaints. Those would quickly be drowned out by tons of people flooding in to call the complainers homophobic bigots. And Thrall would continue to hit on every guy that passed by and Blizzard would never say or do anything about it ever again.
I've interacted with Garrosh all of once on my goblin shaman. That was when he executed a general for being a genocidal maniac. Should I have taken from that incident that Garrosh was a level-headed, even-tempered, wise leader? I could have, but boy would I have been wrong.
i think this is the major point about the change, the line sounds sleezy, and i could imagine many women being offended by it, so no, it doesnt seem that odd for them to change it, while i do like the character the original line had, it shouldnt be something everyone gets all up in arms over.
Rejoice, For very bad things are about to happen...
Racism is racism. There is no better version. True equality comes from understanding and respect for individuals.
It's sad that white people can't defend themselves without being "privileged" or "racist"
To assume all white people are priviledged is gross generalization mixed with a complete lack of understanding concerning their specific situation. Maybe you could develop a privilege calculatr app that compares and contrasts them.
Maybe a better solution would just have people respecting and empathizing with eac other as individual human beings.
You're just as ignorant as the bigots you claim to despise if you assume everyone who is white is more privileged than you simply because of their skin color. That is racist if you ask me.

While I don't think crabmousse actually deserves anymore attention, I can't help but agree. He basically discriminates against people with valid points who cannot change who they are, coming off as bigoted and hypocritical. (Obviously) My opinion as a rational human being, white male or not, is just as valid as GreatOaks, or even crabmousses.
And all racism is an equal problem. Infact, crabmousse ends up supporting racism by perpetuating the "superiority" of white males versus others. The best way to end racism nowadays is to ignore race, said someone who WASN'T a white male. What a world.
This is a bigoted assumption. What is with your prejudice against white western males? Why do you insist on calling women a minority group when they comprise literally HALF the world's population?
How come all your arguments revolve around your personal assumptions about what entire groups of people do?
I've read everything! I think you're fighting the good fight. Thank you for being so cool.
This really wasn't about me being a prude, or some feminist (although I am, deal with it), it was that it was a weird, lazy line from someone who thought it was complimentary and I wanted it changed. It did. It now reads better, the character stays mostly intact and people aren't feeling gross. I guess that makes me a terrible person.
And what makes you assume that people haven't read your replies
each and every one of your replies in each and every one of your topics is the same thing. Hyper radical sensitivity to non-issues, and claiming that anyone who disagrees with you is a misogynist/racist/classist/hater/villain/chauvinist/ethnist/theist/etc.
Complimenting someone on their appearance is not sexist. Ji equally compliments men on their appearance, Gail Nozzywix in Durotar heavily lays the compliments on men while calling female PCs tramps and verbally abusing them. The Grom'gol Zeppelin Goblin is HEAVILY sexual, yet nobody calls out those characters.
Your arguements are the most hateful things possible, they all break down to people deserve special consideration and treatment because they are not part of the majority. You know what that is? By definiton, you are the misogynist by saying that complimenting males is OK but complimenting females is not you are actively working against equality.

I take it you have a problem with Gail Nozzywix and Snurk Bucksquick as well then, where are your petitions to get their lines changed?
Radical feminism wins again!
Better stop holding doors open for women, I might get sued.
