Calling it Body 1 & Body 2 feels objectifying

I’m not gonna bother looking back though posts.

Just noting that them trying to say they said it should, itself, probably be taken as an indicator that it bothers them.

Wont speak for them specifically, but I imagine it hits a little to close to home for some.

This is quite a strong second opinion, don’t you think?

nope, and bothering the underpaid staff doesn’t really change that

Then there’s no point talking to a wall. You can leave my thread any time.

Because clearly, Trolling is a CoC break. Since I have not broken anything in the Code of Conduct… I guess you must be the smart one here who just seems to know better.

if the company was runned by non californians it be male and female we all know this.

There isn’t anyone who believes you’re legitimately offended by an icon being renamed in the characters selection screen. It’s thinly veiled biggotry. Blizz employee just didn’t want to argue with you.

Why the hell are you even talking about the icon? The damn icon has nothing to do with this, you’re not even on topic. I’m wasting my time with you and whatever world you’re in.

Is this thread even about the icons and their labels anymore?

I thought we were talking about the genitals of the fictional dragon.

Just a whole lot of arguing in circles.

The only change in the game is to an icon. There isn’t even hover-over text that says “Body Type 1” it’s literally just a change from a :male_sign: to a :frowning_man: icon. You’re claiming to be so objectified but you don’t even know the real change you’re talking about lol

Then let me clarify for you.

The mouse-over text in the dragonflight client does say body 1 and body 2. It’s even on the PTR right now for anybody to see.

Not that that’s worth being upset over.

Oh sorry I was looking at it on live and on classic. Although I agree, even if there was big flashing text on your screen that said “YOU PICKED BODY TYPE ONE” would it be something to write a 3000 word complaint over lmao

And what? When it was called Male and Female that wasn’t anything to get upset over either? What’s the difference of being upset with being regarded as a mere shape?

Who was upset about that? I’ve commented in over a dozen threads angry about it saying “body type” but never seen a single thread about it being ‘objectifying’ when it said male/female :thinking:

I am. And oh by gods if you say “Well if it can happen once, guess it can’t happen again nor is it happening to anyone else because only one had the balls to speak up :upside_down_face:

You were upset about it saying Male/Female?

Neither was worth being upset about and Blizzard only did it for some cheap PR.

No, I wasn’t. It was fine. It never needed to be taken away, what needed to happen was something being added that is all. Calling it Body Type 1 and 2 just feels like it shuns the existence of cis female and cis male.

The only possible benefit of this change is if they add more body types tbh. There are already many other npc body types in game, so it could be a quick customization win
