Getting an infant to play an online game where worst things can happen.
That employee has no idea about parenting.

Was the kid’s name Steve?

An ever growing list of people with differing opinions. Your conversations must be really dull.
Yeah, it does make sense. It’s not terribly creative, but it does make sense. I think Carhag wants to find something to get offended over.
Might as well add me too. Because I can’t stand people who squelch differing opinions.
Yeah, I don’t get it either. The child as old enough to understand that the word was offensive and was offended by it, but needed to be sat down with their parent to play the game? Very young children don’t generally understand what words mean, they just understand the emotion behind them. It doesn’t really make a lot of sense.

And yet you then go on a massive rant, which is a form of ‘communication’. And yes, it was in relation to ‘inconsistency’ this is literally why the change was made, according to Steve Danuser himself, so you don’t have to take my word for it. You can take his word for it.
Assuming you’re someone who accepts facts and isn’t wrapping the tinfoil too tightly of course.

I cannot even…
“Garrosh’s line, it stuck out from other language in the game.”
That was the intention of the voice line as it was for 10 whole years and it wasn’t the only instance it was used, you and I both know that well.
The argument of inconsistency falls flat.
Unless of course, you’d rather be oblivious then this whole conversation is moot. So again I welcome you to add me to that list.

thats the odd part though.
What current Social Vibes? Those of an EXTREME minority that thinks they are the majority.
PC culture is frowned upon and disliked by the majority of America. The “Social Vibes” you speak of only exist in the minds of a minority.

As I literally said before.
Within World of Warcraft that word has only appeared twice. Once from Garrosh and once from Godfrey, both in the Cataclysm expansion, both in relation to Sylvanas.
From BC to WotLK it has never appeared once.
From MoP to BFA it has never appeared once.
And again I’ll use the analogy of a tiled floor. If there are thousands of tiles on a floor all of the same colour, and two of a different colour, then the two that stand out are inconsistent and changing them, makes everything consistent.
But if tiles won’t work for you, how about a collection of glasses. If you have 1000 red glasses and two blue ones, the blue ones are inconsistent with the collection. Replace those two with red glasses and now your collection is consistent.
I could go on.
Are you so sure about that?
Please do, not that it would do you any favor to.

I stand corrected, 3 times. That still doesn’t change the fact that it’s inconsistent with the rest of WoW dialogue.
Pretty sure the guy who did this that same dude who self-inserted over Nathanos.
You don’t have kids, do you? I’m 99% sure that the kid had never even heard the word before so he asked his parents what it meant and created an awkward moment. That’s when the guy realized that maybe the word wasn’t adding enough to the scene to justify the awkwardness that hundreds or even thousands of other parents experienced when their own kids encountered it. No one was offended. The word just took a fun-filled gaming session and made it awkward.

Yeah but didn’t you know? That reasoning doesn’t matter, because who cares about the kid and what they experienced, as long as they don’t have their precious word removed. That’s the important thing.

That kid can go play a game that is suited for his age. If he is playing a game a that is not meant for his age then his parents are idiots who have no idea about parenting.

Not according to some of these comments. This was apparently a “highlight of the expansion” that “excited” some forum goers. To remove it is utterly devastating to them!

Is that seriously your take here?
The kid is playing with his parent, they’re enjoying a gaming session, and here you are jumping up and down saying ‘play something your age!!’ while he’s gaming with his parent. Mind you, we still don’t know the kids age. So, unless you know for certain, that fact is irrelevant.
Absolutely horrid take.

In this case they were Blizzard employees who realized that the presence of an unnecessary curse word was a stupid reason to lose a potential sub. No one is going to quit the game over its absence.
Oh I wouldn’t be too sure about that. I imagine some of these folks have such a thin-skin over words getting removed that they actually would quit.
Which really is the trash taking itself out, so, that’s probably a good thing.

I hope he doesn’t join a LFG. Someone might offend him there and now we see LFG getting deleted too.
