As a female player....oof

As a female player, you dont get to speak for me.

I remember being a “cool girl” and thought supporting male gaze fanservice made me better than other women. I didnt want to be a prude, or a nag, or a sjw that ruined videogames (for men). Then I grew a backbone.

You know what’s not empowering? Wearing a low cut top that shows lots of cleavage. You know what is empowering? Actually owning and running a multi-billion dollar company. I get it. These changes are superficial when there’s an actual criminal environment at Blizz. But bringing back Garrosh calling Sylvanas the B-word, and Jaina’s cleavage does nothing for anyone - except make the male gazers happy.

As far as the game goes, you know what’s not empowering? Tyrande’s sexy new makeover. You know what would actually be empowering? Tyrande using that Night Warrior powerup to actually get revenge AND get back her territories back from the Horde, so that what’s left of the Night Elves can start over with extra protection this time. For all these “Sexy and powerful” female characters, most of them are perpetual victims underneath.

First sentence, on point…good job.

The rest just reveals that you are a hypocrite and a bigot. Not to mention ridiculous.

Never said I was speaking for you

Censoring the female body isn’t empowering. It’s subjugation. Anyone that says otherwise is a subjugator.

I know some people who say we are respecting, honoring, and empowering women by not letting them out of the house without covering up in a burka first or without a male escort.

[Hedone-wyrmrest-accord]

Also wanna add regarding the topic of “not paying attention to paintings” that yes no one pays attention to the paintings but if that’s the case then why would devs spend time changing them.

Why can’t we have both?

Don’t you know?
Everything’s offensive to someone somewhere, eventually.

This old lady gamer completely agrees!

Stop punishing all of us just because of a few perverts.

[Révañ-wyrmrest-accord]

Even her first sentence was ridiculous. She was effectively trying to put words into the mouth of the OP. The OP was simply generalizing with words such as “we”. Takes a rather obtuse, indolent troll to manipulate that use of generalized language as a means to their own ends, which was the absurd paragraph that came after that first sentence which clearly showed exactly what you stated, their hypocrisy and bigotry.

@Hedone-wyrmrest-accord

I feel like devs are ignoring the female players every time they censor something since, once again, we actually don’t find everything offensive, we (men and women) play WoW because it’s a fantasy game, I want to wear the shortest pants and the most revealing top while stabbing Deathwing.

you can’t speak for all females on this. I am okay with them taking those things out because they didn’t add to the game in the first place and they probably were put in because some male thought they were a good idea.

[Révañ-wyrmrest-accord]

Because some karen or neckbeard bob, somewhere out there, actively searches for things that offends them and asked to speak with a manager to file a complaint.

[Révañ-wyrmrest-accord]

If you think those pixels are bad, i dare you to go look up the real life paintings they basically depict. A simple google search will reveal a plethora of art that has existed across all of human history depicting the female anatomy in a lounging state, quite tastefully done too.

[Dedeyn-ravenholdt]

I never even noticed them - they literally did not add anything to the game. So who cares if they are gone, there was no point in having them in the first place.

I really couldn’t care less if people want to paint naked bodies. However, I hope they make their paintings actually look like art rather than crap the blizzard ‘artwork’ was for those.

First off, this started with the censoring of the achievement names, lets not pretend othewise. Now it’s moved to stupid paintings in game that most people didn’t know about or didn’t give a second thought to after seeing them one time. It’s about where the line should be drawn so it doesn’t cost them more of the player base. If they cross too far into wokeness, they’re going to kill the game themselves.

@Dedeyn-ravenholdt

A good majority of those paintings aren’t in any way nude. They’re clothed, partially clothed and in some cases, nude. You really shouldn’t just assume.

@Dedeyn-ravenholdt

They are, and i think someone wanting to memorialize them in this game with a depiction thereof was an intelligent and cultured act.

@Dedeyn-ravenholdt

What do you expect from a game on a dated engine? It’s not like it’s witcher 3 level style graphics they have to work with. When this game released it was the heyday of MMOs and they’ve done a pretty decent job trying to keep the graphics updated as best they’re able to on such an old engine.

[Xatherald-area-52]

That’s not the term you are thinking of I’m very aware of the dark nature of the one you are thinking of but it isn’t that one.

[Xatherald-area-52]

Oh God please don’t ask to speak to my manager next.

if people quit over things that never did affect their gameplay, they can’t have enjoyed this game very much anyway.

[Dedeyn-ravenholdt]

why would I want to speak to your manager - I never complained to blizzard about this stuff but I am okay with them removing it.

[Révañ-wyrmrest-accord]

For people to have gone looking for something of a similar nature to complain about can’t have enjoyed this game very much either. See, i can do that too. It’s called ignoring refutation.

[Xatherald-area-52]

Now see I would say your name but you would 100% report it people who support censorship in general fit that mold is all I will say.

[Dedeyn-ravenholdt]

You are making an assumption a player or player(s) in the game actually complained about these.

If you were trying to make an argument about the last you didn’t do a very good job.
