“It’s just a game!” Would people scream that if the themes of the story were openly racist or homophobic? Blizzard is a big boy company, it should have the intelligence to not frame mass murder as a forgivable offense. Stop defending a corporation’s capacity to have an awful take on genocide. It’s pretty foul and says a lot about your personality.
Oh Darling, Its a fantasy story about a fantasy world. Besides what are you going to do with her? Kill her and send to the maw? Destroy her soul? On par with attempted genocide don’t you think?
Okay Mr. Moralist - then why are you paying a company that has framed mass murder as a forgivable offense?
Why are you still giving the company your money?
Hmm???
Or I think the Media should stop making Blonde Female Hair Characters into becaming Genocide Murders. It really has to stop really.
Racist is fine. As long as it still a video game. Nice logic from Blizzard.
Oof name calling, very cringe, much juvenile.
Its a fantasy story you know plus genocide has happened multiple times one time in particular in fact was committed by the night elves against the trolls but no everyone seems to have forgiven and forgotten about that, also on a side note Warcraft has contained themes of racism in the past if you want proof go play MoP as a horde character
It is a game. It’s a story. It’s fiction. Stop injecting your personal IRL biases into a thing that isn’t real. If Blizzard wants to tell a story about a racist genocidal homophobe, they should be able to without the twitter apologencia losing their minds.
You guys need to calm down. We have no idea what happens to Sylvanas following that cinematic.
Why are you all like this?
Dude holy… who says she is getting redeemed?? We don’t know what is going to happen to Sylvanas yet. Slow you’re roll
This is like if you were playing Wolfenstein, and they were like “actually this Hitler guy doesn’t seem so bad, let’s team up and defeat the bad guys together”.
Yeah, no thank you, I’ll pass.
lol Wolfenstein should totally give you the option to join the SS.
“Genocide apologist” lol Why don’t you wait and see what Sylvanas says and does next now that she has her soul back and how those around her in the story react to it before throwing your new eternal condemnation words at her still.
Its world of warcraft /facepalm
Get out of here pls
Ty
well, the game has hints of racism, since… y’know, the game literally is a race-war between alliance and horde…
Except Sylvanas isn’t the one with the power to literally destroy reality at the moment.
If Blizzard were to promote genocide as a good thing that we should all aspire toward I would be disgusted. Being that this is fantasy, and Blizzard is not trying to promote genocide I would have to say I am not offended by the fact that Sylvanas did horrific acts and might be redeemed for some reason or another.
while I didn’t have the exact same reaction I had a similar reaction.
when he screams for the horde and jumps in like some sort of hero.
I’m like wait a minute that guy tried to ethnically cleanse me…
wow are your poor little feelings hurt ?
do you want to go tare down a few statues together .
man people like you make me sick
Funny how people are getting so worked up over a video game when China is keeping more than a million people in “re-education camps” RIGHT NOW.
All you social justice warriors are just hypocrites, its easier complaining about some made up world than actually focusing your attention on whats happening in the real world. If they really cared about this issue at all they’d actually be using their time to make a difference instead of complaining on some forum for a video game company
