At least one someone did and it was deleted before its third post because the entire thing - here, elsewhere, and everywhere - is blatant spam from disingenuous creeps stirring the pot and hoping they can get enough saps to agree that making fun of white guys is fundamentally the same as structural racism.

It certainly is a bad look, no matter what way you look at it.
Itâs more or less the meta for young gen Xer lefties on twitter. Relatively harmless, granted, but itâs trashy.

Mind explaining?
People donât like that Roux consistently over the years tweets things like âwhite men suckâ and other twaddle to that regard.
Madeleine Roux made several posts on Twitter over the past few years about white people and someone made a screenshot recently showing a collection of them. Now people are posting about it on the forums so Blizzard is deleting their posts and threads.
Deleting threads? Yikes. Itâs like the forum equivalent of the Streisand effect.

Blizzard doesnât bother to moderate the story forums despite the toxicity thatâs here but they sure will go into overdrive when the company starts having a PR problem
They bothered to lock the thread that mentioned it. If the lounge suddenly disappears, we know who to blame.

Itâs because they were spamming it. They were trying to get a consolidated thread at one point but the constant new threads didnât stop. No idea if they just ended up nuking that thread too since the forums have moved onto a different outrage spam topic.
You mean the necro thread?
I can understand locking threads, but they wouldnât be deleting posts unless theyâre dealing with an actual crisis. Deleting posts isnât the right way to go about this. As for necro threads, Blizzard doesnât care about the story forums enough to normally lock those. Thereâs no point to deleting the posts in the interview thread if they were going to lock it anyway. I can go necro a random thread here on the story forums right now and I doubt itâll get locked.
They do if they get reported, which most of us around here didnât normally do, but there have been more people reporting recently (or at least more people mass reporting posts).
Heck, even the lounge had a post actioned last month.

Pretty much. I hate Twitter, and I still hopped on to take a peek at hers to see for myself.

Can we not talk about it here, or on the story forums? I like my toxicity limited to the lore.

Oh is that what itâs about, I thought she was actually being racist. No wonder nobody seems to care. Come on us white people make fun of ourselves as much as anyone else.
Pretty much lol. Letâs be honest: it is racist, but itâs like 300 hp of damage, as opposed to classic racism which is about 270k damage (taking into account a 460 ilvl character). Still bad and trashy, but like eh?
Yeah pretty much. If a few harsh words about our skin colour is the best they can do then weâve got nothing to worry about. Hell in Melbourne we frequently joke about the bogans who hang around train stations.
Had to look that up. Mildly disappointed that your train stations arenât filled with some Australian version of boggarts, bugbears, or bogles.

Oh the bogans are plenty scary enough. The other monsters know to keep their distance.
How has no one told you how amazing your Undercity was Lordaeron parody was? Well, it was, and is. And I am telling you.
