Yes, I referd to a THING as a snowflake. Not a person, a group, a race, a people. A snowflake is a thing. A contract is a thing. It applies. Especially when this one is so vague and flimsy to make so many people question it.
Looks like it’s there to me, sure it doesn’t say “hate speech” how ever it does say “unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable content or language”

Hmmm… Maybe it’s a good idea to do some research before you form an opinion on things you don’t know anything about?

Oh this thread is real stinky
Wise words
It is part of their terms of service. They have a right, as a private company, to deny service to customers for breaking terms of service that customers agree to.
Blizzard cannot prosecute as they do not have legal jurisdiction in any capacity. At most, they can pass along info if those with legal jurisdiction (such as the FBI) requests information to aid in an investigation - for example, if somebody was grooming minors online.
You cannot have legal action taken against you for things you do in the game unless you are committing an actual crime and are reported to authorities. It just means they can terminate your account if they deem you have broken the terms of service.
If that is indeed how they define “hate speech”. Then yes, however, our lovely orange lettered person has already shown me specifically where the term “hate speech” is located and I already thanked her for that. To which she insinuated I was a jerk. Which I find offensive. (Maybe her written text isn’t orange for you, but it shows up orange on my screen.) (Maybe that person isn’t a she, but the character is a she, so I will refer to her as a she because I do not know this persons pronouns.) (Maybe putting pronouns next to our toons icons should be the next priority for Blizz?) O.o
Any reasonable person would take it as you intended it to mean, not as your “No! I actually meant something very different from what you assumed falsely was obvious! I meant that this contract has to do with snow!”
What a stupid claim. Clearly you are upset because the people you hate and consider inferior to vicious abusers like yourself are who you are calling “snowflakes”, people who deserve your abuse for existing.
Nah. Any reasonable person will assume that anybody who comes out in favor of hate speech is upset that they can’t abuse other people at will in the context of this game and its websites.

im 100% fine with that definitely answers what i asked. But im really concerned on if they have changed there terms/and agreements and thats why they want me to click accept and agree to something new that im not aware of and when words like are used “court” “aberration” “contract” id really like to know what im agreeing to and i love this game so id like continue playing.
What are you even talking about? I thought I explained myself very clearly. Seems you are just looking for something to be offended by even though it had absolutely nothing to do with you, or anyone else for that matter. Anyway, Thank you for this world salad. I’m sure many will ponder over your words.
Sure. Calling it a “snowflake contract” was in no way intended as a slur against people you consider inferior weaklings who deserve and will benefit from your abuse. No! It was all about snow! I swear it!"
Is dumb and transparent stuff like that what they taught you in remedial right wing propaganda school? You forgot to say “muh constitutional freedumbs have been violated!”

This is the part that I was comparing to a snowflake. The new Bliz Social snowflake Contract is very thin and flimsy. Do you have a better adverb to use for it?
You seem very triggered about something. Perhaps a nice, peaceful game of WoW will help you calm down.
Don’t speak in game and you have nothing to worry about.

I’m not sure where you are getting “court” and “aberration” - those words are not used.
A contract just means an agreement between two parties. It doesn’t explicitly mean anything legally binding.
You are just agreeing to follow Blizzard’s terms of service to use their services. To be very clear here the social contract is not introducing any new terms of service - these terms were already in place. All social platforms have a terms of service whether you realize it or not.

if they change the EULA you’ll be prompted to read and accept it when you load the game
The reason they added the new thing is probably because they believe most people don’t know what the rules of the game are, and the outrage over this basically proves that that’s true, so they added tl;dr version of the rules written in the plainest English imaginable

In a way, yes its legally binding…your account can be suspended and eventually banned. But no jail time or anything unless you make RL threats.

Just don’t speak up on any issues that might brand you as a patriot, Christian or conservative. Then you will be ok. Sad.
