spit is very offensive, moon is very offensive, the list goes on and on.
Blizzard, as this discussion makes clear, it is time to remove emotes.
Excellent Reply!
This wonderful reply puts to shame supporters of /whistle and deniers of toxic masculinity.

This is bad. Even by your standards.

He was born in the bit. It shaped him. Molded him.
True, but it wouldnât be virtue-signaling to remove it since it is offensive to everyone equally. Things that can mostly only be perceived by women as offensive are the main issue for most of the big names in entertainment out there.

What is funny is I bet these people that complain about things like that in game watch shows like South Park, American Dad, etc. People today just need to find something that really doesnât bother them but turn it into an issue.
All you have to do is read a few replies to see what this issue is really about.
I never said they were going to kill me though. Damn. My whole point is that harassment and actually putting hands on someone to do⊠whatever⊠to them arenât the same thing. Harassment doesnât have to be physical.
Your whole idea is that something canât be harassment until you are physically, without a shadow of a doubt, in danger. Harassment can be something as âsimpleâ as bullying or intimidating someone, which I would argue is what was being done to me in these situations. Once more: it wasnât just one wolf whistle lol.
Was I stupid? Maybe. I was also in my early 20âs and needed money. Sue me, dude, youâre edging real close to: âYou deserved itâ territory. How about people just donât act like creeps in the first place? Of course you wouldnât know what not behaving that way is like. I wonder if you run your mouth off your computer like you do on here, because damn Professor CHUD, you know it all, huh? lol Blah blah blah, the mask came off the very first time you responded to me.

Yes you did.
My point was that itâs a very slippery slope to equate a wolf whistle, to someone drunkenly shouting at you, to someone stalking you. Very slippery indeed.
I donât claim to know it all in any sense of the such a statement. Having said that, I know enough that when I see people like you equate something as harmless as a wolf whistle, something that has even been used positively between couples, to something as terrible as sexual harassment to call that out for what it is. Straight up BS. How bout you accept that there are some grey zones between the black and white.
Having said all this, we have no idea why they changed /whistle. For all we know Danny the intern accidentally deleted the file so they quickly threw together a few new whistles. If they did remove it because of itâs âoffensiveâ nature, then I call them hypocrites given some of their blatant new /silly jokes as well as the fact that things like /moan and /sexy are still in the game.

The whole pc/sjw culture is really what causes alot of the issues. Individuals get jelous over how others look. If someone is getting more attention then others, they claim that its sexiest because there not getting that attention because they fail to admit that they want to have it to. Like alot of youtubers and sites have mentioned. Get woke go broke. With wow there slowly testing out the reaction to each change that happens. Personally if players donât get upset by this whistle change. It then signals that other changes can happen. Itâs like saying give them an inch, theyâll take a mile. It can also show that others at blizz offices are pushing for changes but not being public about it. In fear of shareholders and executives finding out. Itâs more of less trying to keep things under the radar. We are at the point were they are pushing to change things. Gotta ask yourself what else can they be pushing for?
If anything we need to find out the email or contact info for the executives and voice ourselves. Or even activ information. This is just the starting point of censorship , it will get worse if this keeps going on. But honestly if you get offended by a /whistle emote in game. Your taking this game way to serious.

You entire conclusion rests upon you assuming things in my statement and experience that never happened. I never said they were definitely gonna kill me. At most I said that, âHey, you never know.â because uhh⊠you donât. You literally donât.
I also said it wasnât âjustâ a wolf whistle. Do you think I walked by, there was one whistle, and thatâs it? No. I explained above in more detail what more commonly would happen.
Youâre trying to tell me that I said things that I never said, meant things I never meant, and didnât experience things that I actually experienced.
Why am I not surprised that your entire tactic has just been one huge gaslight attempt?
I said this another thread a while back but to me the change is even worse. While the other may have been a catcall, the new one more or less sounds like you are whistling for some fine honey to come sit on your lap.
Now Iâm emotionally manipulating you? Really? I donât even know youâŠ
You were the one who insinuated danger to a fatal level. I took you at the words you used. Thatâs not my fault, thatâs yours.
You equated catcalling to wolf whistle in your posts. Then you brought up your French Quarter story to validate that catcalling is in fact harassment. You inserted into that story a level of danger that insinuated mortal peril.
And Iâm calling you on it. Thatâs it. Letâs not try to blow a wolf whistle out of proportion and accept that there are grey zones to all forms of human interactions. Can wolf whistles be inappropriate? Absolutely. Can wolf whistles be completely appropriate? ABSOLUTELY. Whatâs not appropriate, is forcing the rest of us to abide to your own personal opinion of morality.
That borders on arrogance.
