Please rename Corporal Maga

It’s not Sunday.

Wait for Sunday if you’re going to troll.

Corporal Maga was added to the game in 2008 when Wrath of the Lich King launched. She existed long before Donald Trump ran for office in 2016 with the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ so her name has nothing to do with politics.

Get over it.

You have proof that “straight white males” have been pandered to for millennia? What about in places where there were no white males, for thousands of years? I don’t have a problem with having a realistic amount of representation for “other than straight white males”, but making representation of a VERY small minority take priority is not correct. Also, since when does “Male” and “Female” represent only “white males”? I am quite certain that there are male and female humans of every kind and a vast majority of them are straight.

Depends on whether the “Mexicans” consider themselves US citizens or Mexican citizens. There seems to be some confusion of that fact that “Mexican” is a nationality, not a race. There are a mix of races in Mexico and that is where the name “Mexico” comes from. Just like I have ancestors from other countries, but I have never lived in those countries and don’t speak their languages, so I am a US citizen and do not claim to be a citizen of one of those countries.

Yes. All of European history.

Incorrect:

The name Mexico is a Náhuatl term derived from the words metztli (moon), xictli (navel or center) and co (place) . Mexico’s name, therefore, means – the place in the center of the Moon --and refers to the fact that the Aztecs built Tenochtitlán in the middle of the Lake of the Moon (later called Lake Texcoco).

You’ll need to.

Because the NPC in question has no relation to any political movement and won’t have its name changed.

I like to know how telling OP that we can’t just go around removing names because of subjective opinions that they think they are related when they are really not, and are made before the political phrase was popular again, and words/phrases has more then one definition, and can describe completely different things(shocker, i know.), and that they should just get over it, means their Right Wing or MAGA Cultists. :man_facepalming:

As somebody who does dislike Trump and is a liberal like myself, I have to agree with Carhagen. The NPC’s name has nothing to do with politics given the time it was made. Just like everything else before, during and atfer that time period because it was clear that wasn’t the intention Blizzard had while creating that character.

That was on you for thinking that. Infact, you went out of your way to find this character, while the rest of the normal population wouldn’t even know she existed (because she only had like one quest, Mopping Up), just to change things for the worse without realizing the consequences of that in the future when applied equally. As i’ve said in my first comment that you’ve conveniently ignored.

This is why i don’t let Trump live rent free in my head like you’ve done. It’s poisoning your mind and disallowing you to think clearly. :man_facepalming:

You really do need to get over it.

NO, we are here to Make Azeroth Great Again!

Sorry you didnt use the proper term

LatinX so your outrage is unjustified

Not wrong. That being said, I’m on the fence about renaming the NPC.

Wrong, people get upset every time a different skin tone is used for characters. Even for this game, despite said skin tones making up either equal or more amount (World wide) than white skin tones. :3

Same thing for Women in a lot of roles especially if it’s a leading role, imagine that.

Just to point something out as well, you just go off of how many people there are in general and not out of those that play video games, or those that are interested in WoW. You, specifically, don’t know the demographic of WoW itself.

To give an example of demographics - around 85% of furries are LGBTQIA+, with a quarter to a third of that being transgender.

The people that defend a certain orange man love to point that out to say he couldn’t be racist towards them since it’s a nationality, not a race. Curious, that.

Probably why it should be changed, to be quite honest. All the people saying “Well the NAME came first!” yeah, well so did the a lot of names or logos that are related to some pretty awful stuff at this point.

Hmm. Interesting thread…

Looking through Britannica pages (ouch, paper cut… dumb fat fingers… should of googled instead…)

Maga, an Egyptian crocodile deity sired by Set.

Not gonna trust google or phone’s translate function, sure someone could correct me if I am wrong. Isn’t maga in Spanish mage?

You do realize that Corporal Maga was added during WotLK, aka back in 2008, 8 years prior to that particular election, it’s also a proper noun, being their name, and not an acronym for a campaign slogan.

What you are asking for is basically like if we should rename every one named ERIC due to an old slogan thing that was done which resulted in alot of folks bottling up and not dealing with their emotions (Emotional Reactions Impede Control) and other such, just…no. Corporal Maga is an OG npc/quest giver, so maybe do a little research on the history of something before screaming for it to be changed.

God, it’s no different than people wanting to keep confederate generals as the names of schools/statues of them up as ‘proud monuments’ when the history of why they were erected is so tainted.

-edit- noticed an error in election cycle: also, that phrase was just pilfered from previous politicians that…individual…did not create it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_America_Great_Again here ya go, and the more you know!

Exactly. :laughing:

OP just went out of their dang way to find something, and then subjectively think in her questionable headspace and her Trump senses went off to red alarm. And just want to erase history and such because “MUH FEELINGS!!”… :man_facepalming:

Meanwhile i’m over here more worried about the world blowing up from either nukes or the sun roasting us alive via global warming.

…Are you disagreeing with him saying that Mexicans aren’t easily offended as you?..

How was this out of my way when everyone is leveling in LK rn.

I’m not replying to the rest of your crap and I’m adding you to my ignore list.
