They literally said that it's been done at the behest of the team itself and what they consider offensive / inappropriate / not inclusive.
Please, don't make a fool out of yourself and deny the obvious connection between their political stance and those changes.
Terribly analogy.
All those things are elements WoW Players disagree on because they are WoW Players, not because of their political views.
I am fairly certain that in regards to those recent changes, the lines among players between being in favor and in opposition are pretty damn close to the line between those that consider themselves "PC" / "Woke" and those that are in opposition to that.
Disagreeing with someone on a specific design decisions within WoW is not the same as disagreeing with someone on specific changes based on political views.
Discussing design decisions of the game is naturally part of a WoW Forum, however when people start calling eachother based on their political views, the discussion has departed the realm of the game and entered real world politics.
WoD in large was a direct answer to MoP, which was generally seen as a huge departure from Warcraft's core theme and in itself a reference to Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal.
Demon Hunters have been a staple part of Warcraft lore since Warcraft 3.
Both elements in their themes predate WoW itself, if you think those themes do not fit Warcraft...okay, then that's your opinion i guess, just not a great one because it ignores the roots of the franchise.
I have no idea what this means but if you want to tell me that Maximillian of Northshire quest in Un'goro is not a Don quixote reference, then please say so, because i don't want to waste more time arguing with people that deny reality.
