It was.

And women did not even get the right to vote in the U.S. until 1920. That means there are some women alive still today who lived in a time when women could not vote and were the property of men.

Good riddance to those days and the hateful catcall sound from the flight whistle!

All the stuff in this game and it was a whistle that was deemed too offensive and in need of removal? Things are getting really strange.

I am not your “hunny”.

A more apt description would be that women did not have representation either in the government, either by presence or vote.

Humans as property was outlawed in our country via Constitutional amendment in 1865. (IIRC)

I whistle all the time

/LOUD WHISTLE

“Numnuts, what are you doing? Lift with your back.”

/LOUD WHISTLE

“Lunch is over. Put down those fakakta phones, talk to each other or not, I don’t care, and get back to work”

/LOUD WHISTLE

“All eyes on me. I am the Range OIC. {LONG OIC SPIEL}”

Tell ya what Raistlin, ask any woman . What’s worse? Being objectified for your looks, or being ignored for your looks.

I am sure that the employees are told to ignore posts reguarding this. You won’t get a response on why this happened.

The S J W crowd have infiltrated our game and taken away our cat calls. And made Sylvannas cover up too. BOOOOO! I am a lady gamer and I do NOT approve. Can’t a gal show some skin without it being offensive? They said a developer’s little girl asked why Sylvannas had no clothes on and he had no good answer. ‘She’s undead, Sweetie, they don’t feel the cold.’ There’s your answer. The crappy leather stomach band they hastily put on her doesn’t even match her outfit. Now that I DO find offensive. :smiley: But seriously, this kind of stuff is minor. They took away the awesome troll joke ‘I kill two dwarves in time of peace and two in time of war’ years ago and I have’t played a male troll since. Yet they kept the male tauren joke ‘Homogenized? No way, I like the ladies.’ I expected that to go next after the troll joke. (And PLEASE don’t take it away now that someone pointed it out. I am female and I LOVE that joke! Reason I mained a male tauren for years!) People need to be able to see the funny in this game and chill out. This isn’t real life, and this stuff shouldn’t offend. It is all in good fun! Remember, when we used to laugh at this kind of stuff? People are too uptight nowadays

As a gal, I approve of this message. If you don’t want to be objectified, dress like a man or in baggy sweatpants. And then, when you no longer get admired, don’t be pissed. You can’t have it both ways. I enjoyed the years I could turn a man’s head, but some find it offensive to what, attract with your attractiveness? Would you rather be born ugly? Then all you’ve got is your personality. Like Ernest Borgnine and his 5 hot wives :slight_smile:

Pro Tip: The Worgen who is whistling at you? He’d love to have you for dinner.

This change seems kinda odd especially when considering what else exists in the game. Or does it mean flirts are next on the chopping block? Just a few goblin /flirts that make /whistle seem tame.

  1. I got watcha need zip zip
  2. Does this turn you on? Jingles cash
  3. Have you ever rode a rocket before? Mines huge!
  4. Lets make sweet sweet profit together.
  5. Honey I got all kinds of toys in my utility belt.

Believe me. The female ones are just as naughty lol. There is one about her going down on someone and another"How’d you like to try a piece of this short cake" and “I am sure good with my hands”.

Let it be known that I absolutely love these voice lines and I will be deeply saddened if blizzard makes them more tame.

Whatever you say.

Do not buy it one bit.

But do agree the right to vote was wrong, but it had NOTHING to do with marriage!

Blame the all male government.:hushed:

My grandmother, born in 1907, was very progressive for the age she was in. Got a degree at a University, met her husband there, and then got married and had children, all while maintaining a career. And she was very active in helping her local community, right up until she died. I know you think that most women back then were subservient to their men, and were property after marriage, but she most certainly did not hold that view. They were equals in every way, and joined together to raise a very stable and happy family. That is what most people hope to get when they get married nowadays, or at least that should be the goal.

The girls of today, I pity them, growing up in this age, their role models are toxic feminists who encourage them they don’t need men to succeed or to have children. Well I had my awesome grandmother as my role model. She taught me you can be a feminine woman, let yourself be attractive to other people, and be gracious and kind and yes, married happily to a man and raise children together as a team and still have that career if you so chose, or be a stay at home mom, and live a fulfilled life.

I just feel this needed to be said. Now lets get back to the /whistle discussion. A woman may get annoyed getting stared at or catcalled, but I guarantee you will miss it when they no longer do it. Nothing wrong with signalling to someone you find them attractive. Who knows, you may end up dating that someone! As good a pick up line as any lol.

Edit: Ok ok, for those who disagree with the last line of my post, maybe a catcall would not likely increase my personal choice to date that someone. I called a man out on that behavior once while at a job and shut him right the heck up. You can choose, as a woman, to let it get to you or ignore the few crass men you encounter. Like a duck, let the foul water slide off your back. Internalize the comments and catcalls and grow angry, or brush it aside and get on with your life. People, male or female, can act rude and dehumanizing towards you, indeed, but that is a topic for another post. But as for me, speaking as an older woman at an age most of us gals no longer turn heads, at least fewer in number, I can look fondly back on the days when they were many. But that’s just me. My two cents
