Because Blizzard is suddenly going to be more active in enforcement.
as someone who is currently serving a 10 day ban for confessing my love for piss and making fun of someone’s transmog i think the social contract is reasonable but also if i get banned i have literally dozens of other games to play

I dont even know if we can call this kinda stuff trolling anymore. Everyone here seems so hungry for a fight that its not even funny when people get “trolled” as they call it.
No, they can be just as active as they are now, but they can say “we told you and you agreed so you’re staying banned” rather than going “ok, maybe you didn’t know, we’ll give you another chance…”.

It hasn’t been “funny” to see people be “trolled” on most of the internet since the early 2000s.

I mean, people will still claim they didn’t read it and just clicked “accept”, like they do with any ToS or EULA. This isn’t changing anything.

Sure, but Blizz will have an “out” then.
“Well, you clicked it, which means you accepted it, which means, you have no standing”.
I’ve had jobs where they’ve done the same thing. “You know that paper you signed when you got the job 5 years ago that you’ve probably forgotten about by now? Yeah, that says you are guilty of the thing you agreed to on that paper and we can punish you accordingly now.”
Blizz is going to do that EXACT same thing. As well they should.

Yes, me too.
Absolutely despise when Blizzard does that. Or tells me I’m replying too much to a specific person.
Like, seriously, frak off. You can’t even moderate your own forum.

It’s not. It’s entirely an attempt to force players to read the CoC.

You hear that? It’s all the botters laughing at the rules in the next room over. The rules are a joke
Really you do kind of have a point but really they’re mad for no reason. Its the same rules as before they’re just gonna enforce it even harder than before (maybe). I would rather have the bots banned tbh.

I’m sorry but this is not really a good look for you.

And yet you identified yourself as Jewish. Such is the problem with putting yourself in an identity box to elevate yourself above another.
I’m equating the Diversity Space Tool to the slippery slope that started by ranking how valid certain people were, yes. There is no difference with the starting point here, other than people should know better.
If invalidating identity hierarchies, particularly by targeting the Alt right method of doing so, is a bad look to you, I’m glad I look bad to you. You look pretty bad to me defending the Alt Right.

I don’t know how you are getting validity from that thing.
Seems a bit like insecurity to me.

don’t think it was ranking how valid people were but rather just a tool to not create the same character over and over even though it is arguably very dumb

He’s upset that I took offense to his comparison of the perpetrators of the Holocaust and the Blizzard social contract. His whole complaint is that I lead with why I do, which is being Jewish. I grew up with Holocaust survivors. I heard their stories. Comparing those who perpetrated that horror to the social contract ultimately dismisses that horror. He wants to be able to make the comparison without any disagreement or difference of opinion, regardless of who it might hurt. Which ironically how the Alt Right operates.

You’re said this:
This is basically you complaining that minority groups identify themselves as Jewish, or black, or trans, or gay, or disabled, instead of just identifying as “human,” which is silly because we are implicitly one or more of those things. The demand we not recognize our differences and different experiences to not make a certain demographic uncomfortable assures systemic things never get addressed.
This type of thing was literally just covered in my ethnic studies class. That in order for true change there must not just be an examination of one hierarchy but also to recognize our differences and different experiences, to better understand each other and that there aren’t just one or two hierarchies but many—a kyriarchy.
