    This is gonna get more political by the second so I'll just boil down what I think: I think this is dumb and Blizzard is being dumb.

    I'm sorry but I find that extremely hard to believe. #CancelCulture in full swing, Guilty even if proven innocent.
    We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

    I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

    But shouldn't you be holding Blizzard innocent until proven guilty? Otherwise you are just as a part of cancel culture as you claim Blizzard is. Weird right?

    It's just artificial outrage disguised as political discourse. The guy's a scumbag, who cares if he gets canceled? Screw him.

    Why, you know him or what?

    So you either have proof of guilt or you should vouch for him.

    What the fuck does Epstein have to do with this? He's just saying that it's a bit presumptuous for two thirds of this thread to be screaming "GAHHHH CANCEL CULTURE DAE BLIZZARD DUMB DAE BLIZZARD MAEK BAD DECISION LOL DAE MEMBER J ALLEN BRACK APOLOGY AT BLIZZCON???//"

    Judging blizzard with out knowing the real reason is the same as cancel culture. They are accusing Blizzard of partaking in cancel culture by changing voice actors. You, and the others, getting outraged over Blizzard changing voice actors are just as bad as cancel culture. Because you don't know the real reasons but feel the need to be outraged over what you think those reasons to be.

    Innocent until guilty should be applied to everyone or thing.

    Not a massive fan of the new voice, though also never been particularly fond of Kael'thas' old one, so not too fussed either way.

    Can't say I'm surprised to see him get replaced given the current allegations being made against him. Though we don't even know if that is the case, could just be with everything going on he doesn't have the time, or is taking some time away from the industry for personal reasons, so just like folks shouldn't be treating Quinton Flynn as guilty, also shouldn't be quick to just outright react as if it was definitely for that reason he wasn't brought back.

    Because "officially" that's what happened.
    You can talk around bullshit all day, it will still stink.

    Never was a voice-work for characters in WoW re-done by the new VA before.
    As I said earlier, check for old Saurfang as an example.

    Kael's VO in SL was probably done before they could do anything about this in 9.0, as the accusation was in November, so they couldn't change it then obviously.
    Now all the sudden it's being changed.

    And don't get me wrong, I don't really care about either the VA or the character but the implication.
    They re-did 15 year old voice lines for PR.

    But here's the thing, nothing was ever proven, no court ruling was ever done.

    People are fed up with this shit. For good reason.
    People don't want their lives ruined by a rando tweet. So they don't want this shit to be normalized.
    Any intelligent person would not want this to be normalized, y'know, just cuz of the off-chance that you actually make it in life and you don't want it ruined.

    If you're so 100% certain, then why the fuck didn't they re-record the HotS voice lines too? Oh that's right. Because you have no fucking idea.

    What the fck are you on, mate?

    Blizzard is the one cancelling, if you haven't noticed yet.
    Someone literally losing their 15 y old work for a tweet vs being "judged" by people who PAY YOU is a bit different, eh?

    Pot meet Kettle. Going after a company for something that is alleged by rumors is no different then what you hate and think is becoming normalized. People, companies, and whatever else have always faced consequences for actions. The only difference is the outrage culture that exists now the feel they have to make it a personal crusade when it really isn't a big deal.

    How do you know they didn't?

    I don't play HotS, just wait till the next patch cycle.
    To be fair, even Blizzard doesn't give many fucks about HotS.

    Man I'm gonna be stinkin' rich off these bridges I'm gonna sell to fools who unironically meme themselves into believing that Blizzard just randomly and coincidentally decided to replace Kael'thas' 13+ year old voice lines.

    What actions, you genius?
    Someone saying something about me randomly? Should I be held accountable for that?

    If I start calling you a rapist on every post will that make it true then?

    Oh okay -- so information I don't know that puts a hole in your theory... well, I'm just making shit up. But when you do the same fucking thing, who cares? I mean, we can all agree that Blizzard sucks, right?

    Where is the proof of that? Innocent until proven guilty right? What if he was taking a break and wasn't available for future work so Blizzard hired a new actor. And to get him prepared gave him the old lines to practice and decided to just use them. Or are planning on the character having an expanded role in the future so made everything to match just because they could.

    You can't have it both ways. You are trying to cancel Blizzard over this decision with out knowing any facts of why they did what they did. Stop being the problem if you want a solution.

    Do you ever rehearse being this disingenuous or does it just come naturally to you?
