No, it’s not “Hey, you there”, It’s “Hey, Loser”
I play Hearthstone in German and Pen Flinger also uses the German word for loser here.

Lol this is next level snowflake, think of the children bs.
If you don’t find it appropriate for kids, then don’t let them play it. Don’t push the responsibility of parenting onto others lol.
As for people feeling bullied, stop, get some help (insert Jordan face).
If a voice line in a game not directed at anyone is going to upset you into cancelling yourself then you got bigger problems to deal with and shouldn’t be playing HS.

Thank you for your belligerence and your input.

“Loser” is hardly offensive, from any viewpoint. No child is getting suspended from school for calling someone a loser lol it’s not censored for a reason. There’s no need for anyone to be so ridiculously sensitive over something so mild.

Hold on just a minute. Isn’t your username, “Aokighara” a reference to a Suicide Forest in Japan where hundreds of people have ended their lives? For those of you unfamiliar, I’d suggest a simple Wikipedia search.
Isn’t the use of such a unique username equally offensive to numerous amounts of people? (Namely those who have lost loved one’s to suicide in that forest). Maybe a more positive username like, “Peace”, “Love”, or “Empathy” would fit the theme of not using offensive terms a bit more better.

Even then its a terrible argument since kids already know all the bad words by 5th grade.
I mean just listen to cardi B or any rap song thats popular these days that KIDS are listening to and singing the lyrics.
Focusing on a voice line in hearthstone is a complete waste of time in comparison
Is Pen Flinger an annoying little jerk? Sure!
Where is the line drawn? Should I be triggered by Valera’s battle cry of “Watch your Back!” and cower in fear that my life is being threatened? Should I dial 9-1-1 when Greyheart Sage’s cry of “A cruel fate awaits you in the ashes!” goes out?
Being able to separate reality from fantasy is part of the human experience.
There is a clear ESRB rating of Teen clearly calling out Alcohol Reference,
Blood, Fantasy Violence and Mild Suggestive Themes.
Coming to a video game forum looking for bubble wrap to protect you from any and all perceived attacks is going to lead to an unfulfilled life.
I used to manage a woman at work with agoraphobia and it was a real challenge. It did open my eyes to struggles people go through. I am completely on board with supporting people with mental disorders. If you think you need help, turn off the video games and seek help from a professional.
=================================
Agoraphobia - a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Many people assume agoraphobia is simply a fear of open spaces, but it’s actually a more complex condition.

See, I can see it as a phrase you use with good friends. And he is your minion.
See group of friends
Me: Sup losers.
Them: Sup nerd.
And everyone is happy
Several of the emotes are mean or threatening as well. In fact, one is CALLED “Threaten”. Should all that be changed too? Should everything just be sunshine and rainbows?
The covering up of the small amount of Jaina cleavage was hilarious. I was in disbelief.
How many times have you amazingly logical folks clicked on the “Threaten” emote? How about all the emotes for the characters that are also mean? Change all those too? LMAO
It is amazing how wonderfully this has aged, considering the fact that Pen Flinger is meta relevant, meaning more and more people are going to hear this each day.
I am late to this thread and someone might have said it already:
The voice acting in Hearthstone, to me, has a really condescending tone and I believe it was done in purpose to invoke some sort of psychological effects in hope of increasing profit.
That’s why they have never agreed to the most popular request in Hearthstone history: auto-sqeulch.

It should be changed to “Eat this motherf****”
Hint: Because it’s a game and not actual events.
I’ve got other breaking news for you:
If the enemy rogue portrait says “I will be your death”, it’s not an actual death threat.
My god. Toxic political correctness is the worst thing that happend to society since a long, long time.

You’re ridiculous, emotional impact of a cartoon voice line? Please return to twitter and continue trying to cancel something.

Pen Flinger takes forever and is tedious. I don’t mind the voice ; I alt tab out with no sound in background
From my browser i can see through underneath to when my cards turn green and a card is drawn for next turn
In the beginning of expansion I may just mute and play around on my tablet during the pen flinger’s turn so I can see the new expansion cards and their graphical effects
You’re taking time out of your day to respond to a post that was created last year to belittle me and try and throw shade.
Maybe you’re just JADED?
Ironic.

While I disagree with a lot of your arguments against Pen Flinger (or at least ones you made in the past), at this point I really dislike this card for two reasons. It’s in a sweet spot between being simply useful and OP. Any change to the card may render it unused. Secondly, it’s completely annoying and needs to be updated to only activate its voiceline once or twice as opposed to tens of times in one match alone.
