Half the new contracted writers share the same racist views

[Overlordd]

That compiled photo with all that trash talk from those writers is simply depressing. Can't these people realize that they are worse racists than the racist elements they point their fingers at?

They can do whatever they want with their opinions, but they better not poison the WoW lore.

Why do you think they got hired in the first place?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

What context would make racist remarks acceptable to you?

Like what they are responding to... just posting pictures of what these people are saying doesn't really mean anything. I rather have the full picture then one half.

[arkanon]

Random tweets with no context, much constructive this... Also white people calling white people out isn't racist. Good god do they not reach you kids anything in school these days?

Also in before lock

So what context would make racism acceptable to you?

So racism is ok if its in response to........what exactly? Give an example of an acceptable situation to use racism in your reply

[Darknessvamp]

And I'd wager that Golden is the one wrangling and introducing them into the company.

Without context to those tweets its sketchy.

Buddy, the tweets are the context.

[Hobbidaggy]

I’m a white man....I also have these views...there needs to be greater inclusion in all forms of media and video games are also included in that. I’m not sure what the context is in what they are saying...but if you look at the political climate in America (where these people are I’m assuming) you have a majority run country of white old men who are all making laws about women’s bodies and how the women handle their choices with their bodies. If I was a woman and being told by some old white dude I couldn’t do this or that to myself and it was a law I would be pissed too....

[Zyky]

I love how inaccurate some of the tweets are too. Like does McKinney even realize that American racism was a biproduct of black people selling other fellow black people to Americans?

[Jonnusthegreat]

Lol, is the majority of the writers white females? So much for diversity.

Racism isn't acceptable. At worst these people are just being very aggressive. But they are not being racist. We don;t even know the context of their discussion.

I've called out out of touch white businessmen before, am I racist too?

[Syegfryed]

one of those isn't the one who wrote the dogshit of the shadow rising book? well...

They can do whatever they want with their opinions, but they better not poison the WoW lore.

they certainly will, it was already happening to a degree, now that they are majority? i expect things going to shit pretty quickly

So singling out an entire RACE of people and commenting negatively about them BASED ON THEIR RACE is not racist?

[Pper]

This is...a complete shitshow.
Hope people see this and don't buy the books.

I wouldn't expect much quality from the new book coming out, at all.
Please keep it civil else the mods can lock the thread.

only one of them would be racist, the others are not racist because they are of the same race.

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

Standard for the industry, Marvel & Lucasfilm have hired plenty of people with questionable tweet histories or ideas, hardly surprising that Blizzard ends up doing the same.

White people cannot be racist against their own race, thats not how it works. lol The only PoC that's pointing out racism isnt actually being racist either... Actually that one makes so good points worthy of discussion.

[Overlordd]

Atleast you have to agree that they are sexist.
Seriously though, where else are we supposed to post this bullshit? Why are the moderators silencing us on this topic?

It's not racist if it's against white by a white... which is just equally retarded. Racism doesn't need to cross racial lines for it to be.
It's simply generalising an entire race or judge someone based on their race.

Then again, plenty of people who excuse racism often have a warped definition of what racism is.

[Dundebuns]

There seems to be a lot of fragile people projecting on a universe that has male and females being strong independent characters forging their own stories in a universe we do not fully understand.

So apparently you agree that white people are the only race that invented racism and practise it? Good job buddy.
