How do you guys feel about politics in the game?

Genuine question. zero troll.
im kinda mixed about it… i don’t know if we can have a serious conversation about that on the internet let alone world of warcraft. yet people still crow in trade chat about their political leanings.

it’s cool until someone gets salty or posts something really racist/uncool then it sucks

that normally happens within 3 seconds of a post, if not instantly in trade chat

All media is political. You can’t make a game with poor racial allegories and about warfare and then claim you’re not political.

It makes for an interesting spectacle.

Honestly, in 99.9% of cases you cannot have a serious discussion about politics in WoW.

What politics are in the game?

Adding new skin colors and gay people is not “politics”. That’s called “life”.

It’s annoying for me but that is just mostly because I’m not American so I have little interest to start with, especially with how Americans think everything revolves around them.

It’s an American game though so you just kinda deal with it and things will get more normal soon I’m sure. Long as its the players bringing it into the game and we don’t have any weird RL crossovers officially added into the actual in-game universe.

Felt like I had a good answer for this one…

It’s like when you invite someone over and they drop a deuce in the bathroom and you can’t get the stink out. That’s how I feel about politics in the game.

Like, I get it if you gotta do it, but man, I don’t like it.

Games are just like any other artform. It’s bound to get political one way or the other.

Are we talking Azeroth politics, like Alliance and Horde?

Or the :poop: bag of earthbound politics?

MAKE HORDE GREAT AGAIN!

Garrosh Hellscream for Warchief AGAIN!
Vulpera is the consequences for not listening. Horde is doomed without great leaders like Hellscream.

Oh yeah that would be it I think. But you can block all that racist garbage with the BadBoy addon.

badboy addon? is it on curse?

I meant IRL, but apparently stumbled all over another fantasy world. My bad, can’t see my feet because of this gut.
