i didnt think much from it at first, thought it was just the thing on the forums, but i now checked Aria’s newest video about the raid, and its just, quite awful.
Next to that the comments are just filled with people who said that blizzard removing the spam is bad, although it goes against the rules.
here being the video
Updated, checked on an incognito page, the same people who complained about being silenced. Aria, etc, deleted my comment on the video about how it was a bad idea to do the raid, and why it was just annoying…
They complained about being silenced, and then they silence others.
I would say both sides handled it poorly, there were several threads wanting a civil discussion that were deleted for simply having “Mercy” in the title. Also reflects poorly on Blizzard since they asked what we wanted… And didn’t like the answer.
Every extremist ever. This whole ‘Mercy movement’ is now more of a cult than anything really.
That’s called being deliberately in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was to be expected that (almost) all the threads concerning would be removed around the announced time. They could’ve waited until today and their threads would’ve likely been taken seriously.
I guess I’m missing something? It doesn’t look like a call to action so much as a comment on what was already there to me. Mercy threads are many a post here. Each one has someone commenting “another mercy thread” etc.
It’s not some tumblr “mishapocalypse” spam. Asking followers to post ideas and thoughts in a general forum seems normal. They aren’t posting “#ReworkMercy: that’s it( 20 chars)”. So I think it’s fine. I’d love to see more people post thoughts on their hero in general. Torb and orisa are some communities I wish I had more of In these forums. They just don’t have a YouTuber that’s minorly influential to give them a hashtag I guess.
I would assume it’s due to the people false flagging of mercy threads in general. A few people who have made constructive posts about Mercy have been deleted. Collateral damage and all that.
And here you are, making threads about the raid, and the person who started it, giving them more attention and views. And this forum is talking about Mercy’s issues in bulk.
Objectively then, the goals of the raid have been a huge success.

That particular YouTuber doesn’t care about the game or even the state of Mercy for that matter. She only cares about one thing: views and publicity. It was all a publicity stunt to drive more viewers to her channel.
The devs were/are well aware of your particular group’s “issues” with Mercy prior to the raid. It’s not like they’ve made fun of this kind of behavior in the past or anything.
But you just said that, Objectively, the raid was a success.
Well, it’s already established that they’re not going to “fix” her, so the “success” you supposedly got out of the raid logically has to have come from a different objective, which I’m assuming is the “attention” your group has been craving.
