I had to google it. It ended january 1335 and it was a thing for thousands of years apparently, which i didn't know.
You could also decide to become a "träl" by free choice and losing your rights and then being able to earn them back and becoming a free man.
Pretty interesting to be honest, we stopped with slavery almost 500 years before USA even existed...
It was also a heavily viking thing and the law stopped because no one born christian could become one.
You really do learn stuff everyday haha :P
I agree actually. There are ways in which the use of 'they' creates disastrous ambiguity over whether someone is referring to one or several people. But that's a flaw in the English language more so than that this is about politically correct speech or wokism.
Other language have a noun instead of a pronoun for a single person whom's gender is unknown or unknowable (like a hypothetical doctor, or firefighter, or suspect). This noun directly translates to 'the one who'.
So instead of 'they' people say 'the one who', it works great, especially in legal literature where the law often speaks of a hypothetical person in the abstract.
The English language desperately needs a word for 'the one who'.
if Blizzard really wants to make a change, can they please fire the quest dev with the scat fetish?
But do you think that same courtesy or being considerate are going both ways?
Because I read and hear daily that I'm evil only because I was born white and I'm a man.
From where I'm standing, its a very one-sided road where its a right and entitlement but only for them.
Which makes it pretty hard to be nice or considerate back, specially when its not asked and instead demanded or i'm "insert a ton of shit talking and name calling".
This reminds me of a WoW machinima I watched back in the day, was probably made in vanilla, maybe early TBC at the latest, where one of the characters was a female human with a super deep masculine voice. The gag was obviously dudes playing girl characters, but in hindsight, it ended up being bizarrely prophetic. I wonder how they'll handle the /silly emotes, given that a number might be sex-specific.Players will be able to choose the body type and voice independently of each other.
Actually, now that I think of it, did they remove that one Caverns of Time NPC in the male Orc body with a female Orc voice that was an obvious gag character? I'd be stunned if that wasn't at least on the chopping block, if not changed already.
OT: Generally speaking, I don't mind extra customization options, even given the nature of these changes in particular. More options is good, things being altered for those same reasons = bad. This falls into category one, so whatever.
I mean if you hang out in ridiculously polarized echo chambers then you will hear dumb shit all the time, yes.
Maybe use your brain and read less garbage content, or even better, get off your ass and go outside and maybe you'll meet enough people that you don't have to judge swathes of human beings based on dumbass shit you read on the internet.
Wow, I draw the line at replacing make and female with body type 1,2
This is not inclusive, it's down right stupid and not how you prove you are not sexist against women.
I have even less motivation to encourage you by buying your product. And as an LGBT black minority, fyi, people do identify as make or female, and if you cared so much about representation, where is my fat gender neutral body type 2 blood elf, My cousin transitioned to be make, not called body type 1
And as a female, why is my body type number2? Are you saying male physique is the number 1?.
The only thing I am okay with here is the option for more pronouns. The rest is just silly on most races.
Blizzard, this is ridiculous.
Goodbye, you are goingh insane
Yes, kindness should go in all directions, no matter what you are born like, or how you feel like.
But it's a stepping stone, you don't change society over night.
And the pendulum will swing back and forth a little bit before it settles at a point where people will be happy.
The best thing you can do is have an open mind, try not to fall into echo chambers, and just realize that often people talk in absolutes, when the world is far from.
Its an identity politics moment, everyone is a spokesperson for the cause. Why wouldn't they be credible?
What makes you think they were invited just to be made fun off? If they had better arguments and logic they wouldn't have been made fun off and it would have been reverse roles? Which was their intention to begin with...
