It’s hard to know exactly what happened, but he definately cut all ties with Blizzard. I’d be surprised if he uses any Blizzard references in his next resume.
I’m betting that’s the last we’ll see of poop quests in the game. Those seemed to show up when Blizzard hired the Planedefiler.
Cancel culture or whatever it is, is stupid. Think for yourselves and let people vote with their wallet.
What if, instead of removing his model, they demote him to this homeless creep NPC that wanders around Stormwind in a terrible-looking xmog, and say cringey things on par with J. Allen Brack’s company-wide emails?

Yes make him a joke! The way to learn from our past is not to erase it but to bring it to shame!

OP got a LOT of bites with an easy troll. 
If his work is all throughout WoW, removing it may be impossible or impractical. Instead I think it far more likely that any in-game references will be removed or altered, such as Field Marshal Afrasiabi, Lord Afrasastrasz, Fras Siabi (Character in Stratholme) and all related quests and items, anything with “Foror” or “Kariel” (His online aliases), etc.
However, given that Blizzard seems committed to fighting this, there is a good chance they won’t be removed until much later on, as from a legal perspective doing so might be interpreted as an implicit admission of wrongdoing (Note: I’m not a lawyer). When he left quietly last year, they didn’t purge his references from the game, as doing so would have drawn unwanted attention (It would have been reported on by Wowhead).

for what exactly? to show that bad behaviors are no longer tolerated? as if that did anything to further the quest to eradicate bad human behaviors. I’ll name you 2 bad behaviors that are not tolerated in society and they are yet to be eradicated, murder and racism. anything else?

Why? Are the quests guilty by association? lol
I think the best—most practical—way to move forward is to adopt the death of the author philosophy.
The fact is that Afrasiabi’s contribution to the game’s story is so large that it’s simply too hard to quantify; thus silly to try and erase. Conversely, he wasn’t really the sole “author” of any idea he pushed; those who implemented the ideas—the programmers, artists, quest designers, etc…—were apart of the sausage making process also.
Don’t punish them because of him; you just add to Alex’s victim count.
Just detach “his” art from him. You can’t do that fully, sure—no one can—but you ought to for the sake of the others—the good people—who enjoy it still and who helped Alex make it happen.
If you can’t do that, then think about this as an alternative: erasing anything identifiably Alex from the game Ivan help him. Instead of erasing and re-writing history, change the context—change how we see these things. Pretending he didn’t exist runs the risk of eventually forgetting he did; you do that and he wins. So, where you may of seen an Alex creation in the past and admired him for it, now you can see it and simply remember—remember what he did and who he did it to.
Do that for the sake of those he hurt.
Or just see it as art and divorce it from him entirely.
Your choice.

Nah-- We have to separate the artist from the art, but his in game NPC’s should be removed.

The internet social justice mob is not concerned with being fair or reviewing and validating evidence, if one of the protected classes says they were wronged, then it is automatically considered the truth and they don’t care if they destroy someone’s life and show no remorse if they were wrong. But, if anyone in the justice system misses even the slightest thing, or considers evidence that they do not agree with when one of their own is the focus of an investigation, then “the system is obviously broken” or " there is no justice".
I personally have no attachment to the people who make the games that I like to play and if any of them are proven to be guilty, then they should be punished appropriately, but I am still going to play the game as long as it is fun and stays around.
And I do not in the slightest way believe that it is right to harrass, abuse or mistreat women.
