I don't care. Apparently you can call out other people for being interested in money for creating content that they also agree with, and thought of in depth. But when you say the recent changes are also company appeasement for the morality preachers because that shit makes money these days it is suddenly bullshit, like they're both mutually exclusive. Anyways, you'd never agree because you hate the guy (ergo, "he's not one of you"), you never watch his podcasts. He makes a compelling case for his every opinion and guess what, a lot of people agree with him. But you'd disregard them because they're all "haters" right? Or sheep, the dude is probably mind controlling them (lol) and his viewers are incapable of picking apart his arguments and agree or disagree accordingly. Because, at the end of the day, if people disagree with any content on Youtube or they simply don't like it, they downvote it to hell (*cough* Just like Blizzard's latest horsheshit cinematics *cough*). Honestly, I'm a lot more happy for the guy now that I know he's upsetting the blizzard knights this much. I hope he'll be one of the guys who contributes to FFXIV Endwalker's success when it comes out.
Dude barely plays the game and uses third party websites with questionably valid numbers to draw "evidence based" opinions on WoW. This kind of shit is bad for the community. Not because it's negative, but because it's wrong. I'd have no problem with him making well-reasoned videos but the guy sold himself out to the algorithm. Again, I won't hate the hustle but it's absolutely hilarious you that you can use his BfA era videos' talking points to defeat the arguments he makes himself in the more recent videos. The guy can ride off into the sunset in a Lambo if it suits him but his videos seem to stoke a very disingenuous brand of cynicism which reverberates throughout the community.
Blizz workers cant behave, their logical solution is to punish the playerbase? Wow...
Don't tell me the "numbers are bullshit" argument again. I have been a lurker for a while, I know those discussions. Those numbers say enough of what you need to know. If there are that kind of huge drops between content patches, something is very wrong. It means your audience that bought the expansion many months ago didn't come back. We can infer all we need from the data available to us. It's those who see the blatant drop and don't put any value on them because they're not from an "official source" are delusional.
And he does the play the game. At first he was slow, he was a very busy person, as sometimes a person can be. He recently finished ARR and said that he changed his scheduling around so he can play more from now on, since he managed to wrap up the grindy part of the base game. Anyone who attacks him for "not playing" enough are looking for reasons to devalue his opinions. Which, doesn't matter anyway, since his partner Matt often led those FFXIV based comparison discussions painting FF in a positive light since he did in fact play the game a lot. Two friends on a discussion podcast, doing content about the state of the MMOs and what a game lacks, what they enjoy, is not such a groundbreaking thing is it? But I really got that you have a negative bias (a very strong one at that) against the guy so why do I bother, keep hating him I guess.
Here we go with the ad hominems and proving my point again. Apparently, you being a fan of Talishill and linking his video agreeing with him is not fanboyism, but mine is blind allegiance even though I listen to their podcasts, hear their arguments and agree with them. Apparently to you I also lack a brain, care to suggest that?
Just because I follow various content creators and one of them happens to be Bellular doesn't make him "my boy". WTF. Patronizing as fuck.
This is the same crap I've seen many a time before in this fanbase. Something gets changed, a certain vocal segment of the playerbase takes it as a personal attack, and everyone who disagrees with them is at very least accused of being a shill.
And then: there's the delightful "everyone with a complaint I don't share is a crybaby" card. But while there's been cross-pollination here—creating the bizarre "everyone who doesn't share my complaint is a crybaby and probably complicit" narrative—that's its own can of worms.
ETA: Got on the PTR. The /fart emote is back (although it uses the same text whether or not you have a creature or character targeted); /burp and /spit have similarly been reinstated, but only work if you don't have a target.

Ask me about Deceiver's Vengeance, the Argus Scrolls, or why Tyn does not approve.
Good work can still be improved upon.

Hurray for more censorship! Even more 1985 for people, yay!
Holy testicle tuesday!
Finkle Einhorn is one of my favorite references in the game
Ace Ventura ftw! The balcony scene is one of my favorite movie scenes, pure class.

Captain Winky and Oralius Transphobic Jokes
They recently changed the name of Finkle Einhorn, because it was a reference to a transphobic scene in Ace Ventura.
And rightly so.
If you find anything disgusting about a man kissing a woman with a penis, you are a bigot.
But I think Blizzard overlooked something.
There is a character called Oralius in the Burning Steppes, who references a friend "Captain Winky". Captain Winky is what Ace Ventura mentions upon discovering that the woman in the movie has a penis.
".... thats why Roger Padactor is dead, he found Captain Winky!"
This is likely also a reference to that same transphobic scene. In addition to that, the character in the game seems to be imaginary therefore can not be seen. Remains hidden. Possibly like the penis of the woman in that movie.
Also, the character's name "Oralius" could be a reference to oral sex.
If you look up the wowhead entry, you'll find tons of comments making the same connection to the movie and that scene.

Pretty much this. The thing for many is that transphobia is normalised as ‘ewww, who would kiss that’. Which is childish. I identify as straight, but I wouldn’t be freaked out if anyone I knew was in a relationship with a trans man or trans woman, even though I find the idea of anal sex quite off putting. Which I later found out didn’t matter, because so do many in the LGBTQ community, so it wasn’t an indictment of anyone.
