A recent lawsuit accuses the WoW team of being part of a "frat boy culture" - does that impact the story?

Disgusting, Disgusting and even Worse as i thought!

WTF; HOW? HOW COULD AN SEXIST LIKE THIS DISGUSTING WORM GET EVEN THE POSITION OF AN SENIOR EMPLOYE? HOW?!

And if are other seniors involved in such a thing? metzen? Former CEO Of Blizzard? Blizzard have to talk to their audience, i wont give my money on a pack of sexist and disgusting people.

Nothing “real”. “Real” implies that all other options are incorrect. Presumably, it will hurt asexuals (I don’t know who they are) or platonic relationships and “fake women”. Retirement should only be associated with Tyrande’s personality, and not with any other.
Alternatively, while Tyrande was in Shadowlands, all the leading rhodes took over and all that … I don’t know. This option may suggest that she was a burden to be the high priestess, but this option is incorrect (?).

Can we discuss how to “fire” the main characters so as not to offend anyone? True, everyone becomes offended after such a phrase …

Is it true that the rule “you are guilty until you prove otherwise” works in civil court? Does the civil court deal with issues of compensation and division of property?

… anyways

I wonder if the courts will use quests, being creative products of the company, as evidence of company culture or perspective.

Can this really be considered direct evidence? Not that I know the difference between direct and indirect …

It will probably be … interesting. Discussions on “lore and IRL analogies” in the courtroom.

I have been saying this for so long.

January 2019

Im to lazy to find more quotes, but I have been saying it for a long time. Blizzard perceives Night Elves as a weak race because the male devs at Blizzard write the female dominated Kaldorei race through the same lens they perceive their own female coworkers.

What is there?

Nope, “real” implies a biological type. If I wanted to hurt some one I would use a word “Normal”.
And regarding retirement, again no. Tyrandes retirement should goes together with Malfurions as a couple. If anyone of them appears in a story in solo that always ALWAYS rise threads with questions like - Where is Malfurion, or Where is Tyrande…
Because those 2 are always come together.

Bad choice of words.

Though I agree, a woman doesn’t need to produce a biological child to feel “real”.

I don’t know that I agree with this… given that I’m now married it feels important. We’ve certainly been trying.

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a child, but all I am saying is that the idea that a family/woman/any adult, really, is somehow incomplete without a kid is… well… not the best. It does leave out a lot of people who simply are unable to have kids and outright antagonizes those who decide not to have one voluntarily. Also adoptive children deserve the spotlight once in a while.

Yeah exactly, it’s why the Black Widow sacrifice scene “Oh Flint let me kill myself because I don’t have a womb because the Russian Communists made me a wombless assassin, as I can never have a Real Family or be a Real Mother” was so cringe and criticized

I can see some Third Reich parallels with Garrosh in Mists, but not apart from that.

There are female characters whose stories are well-written even in WoW, rare as they are (Liadrin, Azshara, Onyxia, Thalyssra, Shandris apart from “Wolfheart”…)

Where did paladins hating mages come in? I’ve never seen that at anything more than the individual level for a rare few. Even if we expand that to include Light-related characters and groups.

  • The Silver Hand, Blood Knights of Silvermoon, Argent Dawn and Argent Crusade happily co-exist with the Kirin Tor.
  • The Scarlet Crusade has mages.
  • The Army of the Light has mages, and also did back when Xe’ra still led them.
  • Turalyon is good friends with Khadgar
  • No one opposed Arthas and Jaina’s relationship due to her being a mage - especially not Arthas himself.
  • The Draenei led by Velen make extensive use of Arcane magic alongside the Light.

You can literally read the posts right above mine that will literally tell you what author wrote that into WoW briefly even though it was never used again.

That’s literally what I’m referring to, the explicit stated intent of Golden/the other writers at the time (to Afrasiabi’s anger).

Well written =/= a narrative of empowerment, where the character is given both agency in the story and visibility in the story

Which posts? There’s 362 posts above your comment here. Could you please tell me. By the way, why do so many authors base their villains on that historical Adolf? There has been plenty of other tyrants within the last 150 years (Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Idi Amin, Che Guevara… in fact a few are still alive today, and a couple are even in power).

As for “Well written =/= a narrative of empowerment and story visibility”, Shandris, Liadrin and Azshara count… and we can add Talanji.

I know, I know… but yet this still leaves questions why Tyrande still does not have a child. This leaves a place for some trolls to post speculations about that Tyrande is actually a crossdresser e.t.c…

The two posts literally above the post you quoted.

Jesus Christ read before petulantly responding and posturing.

I’m actually rather surprised that WoW doesn’t have many female characters having children. Then again, when they do, we get abominations like Vereesa’s kids.
