that event effected more than just one demographic, i happen be apart of multiple. i agree with the person you’re disagreeing with.
on an academic level the rhetoric used by these institutions is admittedly and directly derived from past regimes such as the one referenced in the post you originally replied to.
critical theory(crt, gender theory, queer theory) is derived and defined by the observation of socialist regimes.
I am also apart of more than just one of them. It did happen predominantly to the Jewish people though. It’s a terrible comparison and I think you’re a horrible person if you think it’s ok for them to make the comparison.
Wrong is wrong. And ignore is a great thing.
Pretty sure none of you understand CRT either since you all keep mentioning it.
Sussh is making my Sunday.
Every post is more popcorn.
i welcome people ignoring this reality and pretending it doesn’t exist.
it will change sooner.
Technically I had to take an upper division ethnic studies class for graduation. I took one that examines basically all of the different things listed in that ABK tool, what they are, and the intersectionality of it all. It was actually a really fascinating class and exactly the thing that rightists and trying to keep people from learning with their CRT/etc boogie man.
I would have loved to have taken an actual CRT class when I went to college. Closest I got was a human sexuality in American history from 1890s to the 1990s. It was definitely an interesting class. I loved it, didn’t think I would.
Truly a bizarre point in time when people are incapable of managing inter-player conflict on their own and we figuratively fail to realize that we need someone else to step in to save us from ourselves or else we’ll never solve our interpersonal player conflict in video games ever forever moving forward.
Read the social contract. It starts out by saying that players are required to make friends. It’s not up to you who your friends will be. They will decide if you’ve made enough of the right friends or if you’ve failed your mission of creating a community for the antisocial elitists who keep whining that casuals and solo players aren’t making enough of the right kind of friends.
Beyond Gaming
While the Diversity Space Tool was designed for use in game character conception, Chomatas also sees it as having broader applications across all entertainment and media platforms. “The traits and measures are applicable to wider entertainment verticals including TV, film, and literature. The only change required if used in these verticals would be the baseline traits, which would need to be calibrated to be relevant to the genre and universe each character exists in.” Chomatas admits that the application is still evolving – and, in fact, is designed to continuously evolve as “norms” shift and platforms change. In the end, you get out of it what you put into it, and what you choose to take from it.
It literally says they want to use it when selecting traits. Yeah not a tool to select what makes characters valid. Nope. 
I cut you slack last time. I specifically targeted The Diversity Space Tool, being announced at about the same time as this contract. If you are going to intentionally neglect to mention that, I’ll let that bit of dishonesty stand on its own to discredit you.
You just agreed with me that being Jewish doesn’t elevate someone’s opinion, in spite of how uncomfortable that conversation might be when relating to the 1930s. You can’t have this both ways. That people like you try is, as I said already, EXACTLY what the Alt Right uses to legitimize their grievances.
While acknowledging the humanity of both succeeds that.
There is no hierarchy, because as soon as there is one, someone can claim theirs is higher than another’s.
“Kyriarchy” sounded like some new word made up to legitimize oppression and/or racism. I wasn’t disappointed when I Googled it. That idea is in direct opposition of acknowledging equality and personal ownership. F that. Own yourself. Stop blaming others and evaluating others based on things they had no control over. That is literally the definition of bigotry.
Guess they won’t like me then. My idea of making friends is going out in the real world, not on an online game lol.
It says do your best to make friends. It is not an actual requirement to actually make friends.
All it is, is a reminder that other people play this game. Please do not be a jerk to them. It’s not anything new, just a reminder that other people pay a sub too and don’t need to be treated poorly by others.
That is just gross on so many levels.
kink shaming is another form of bigotry you will have your account actioned against
Rust in game chat will be lit
That depends. Maybe his kink is kink shaming
Thank you for the levity. I was getting too serious. 
You’re funny, but your hygiene is questionable. Pardon me for not offering to shake your hand.
It has been in the rules since 2004. Hate/ful speech has always been against the rules in WoW.
Not new. Not at all.
Going back to the paper user manual in the WoW box and the first archived TOU
Original User Manual from 2004 https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/template_resource/LO0VQ46XB1281555957773363.pdf - which has the EULA at the end. It points to the requirements for accepting Terms of Use with the website for it. I selected the first archived Wayback Machine TOU for WoW from 2004. I have copied out the relevant sections for you. Yes, it included hateful names and speech.

- World of Warcraft Rules of Conduct.
As with all things, World of Warcraft is governed by certain rules of conduct that must be adhered to by all users of World of Warcraft. It is your responsibility to know, understand and abide by these rules of conduct. The following rules are not meant to be “exhaustive,” and Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to determine what conduct it considers to be outside the spirit of the game and to take such disciplinary measures as it sees fit. Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to add to or amend this list of rules at any time, and you are responsible for checking these Terms of Use for any newly amended or posted rules each time that you log on.
A. Rules Related to User Names.
Each user will select a user name for his or her character, or allow the World of Warcraft software to select the name for him or her. Additionally, users may form “guilds” and such guilds will be required to choose a name for the guild. When you choose a user name, create a guild, or otherwise create a label that can be seen by other players of World of Warcraft, you must abide by the following guidelines as well as the rules of common decency. If Blizzard Entertainment, in its sole discretion, finds such a label to be offensive, it reserves the right to change the name, remove the label and corresponding chat room, and/or suspend your use of World of Warcraft.
In particular, you may not use:
Names of another person with the intent to impersonate that person;
Names which incorporate ‘swear’ words or which are otherwise offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
Names subject to the rights of any other person without authorization;
Names of popular culture or media personalities;
Names that are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Blizzard Entertainment or other companies);
Names of religious deities or figures;
Names of characters from Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft products, including character names from the Warcraft series of novels; or
Names related to drugs, narcotics, or criminal activity, including references to drug substances; or
Name comprised of partial or complete sentences (e.g., “Inyourface”, “Welovebeef”, etc);
Names comprised of pure gibberish (eg, “Asdfasdf”, “Jjxccm”, “Hvlldrm”);
Names that refer to pop culture icons or personas (e.g. “Britneyspears”, “Austinpowers”, “Batman”)
Names that utilize “Leet” or “Dudespeak” (e.g., “Roflcopter”, “xxnewbxx”, “Roxxoryou”)
Name that incorporate titles. The term “Titles” as used herein shall include ‘rank’ titles (e.g. , “CorporalTed,” or “GeneralVlad”) and/or fantasy titles (e.g., “KingMike”, “LordSanchez”)
Additionally, you may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the name restrictions listed above, nor can you have a “first” and “last” name that, when combined, violate the above name restrictions.
B. Rules Related to “Chat” and Interaction With Other Users.
Communicating with other Users and Blizzard Entertainment representatives is an integral part of World of Warcraft and is referred to in this document as “Chat.” Your Chats may be subject to review, modification, and deletion without notice by Blizzard Entertainment. Additionally, you hereby acknowledge that Blizzard Entertainment is under no obligation to monitor Chat and you engage in Chat at your own risk. When engaging in Chat in World of Warcraft, or otherwise utilizing World of Warcraft, you may not:
(i) Transmit or post sexually explicit images or other content or language which in the sole discretion of Blizzard Entertainment is deemed to be offensive; nor shall you transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable content or language, nor may you use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the content and language restrictions listed above;
(ii) Carry out any action with a disruptive effect, such as cause the Chat screen to “scroll” faster than other users are able to type to it, including setting up macros with large amounts of text that, when used, can have a disruptive effect on the normal flow of Chat;
(iii) Disrupt the normal flow of dialogue in Chat or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users, individuals or entities, including, but not limited to, posting “Spam” messages on World of Warcraft (“Spam” messages as used in this document include, but are not limited to, any effort to use a computer or other electronic device to post an unauthorized and/or unsolicited advertisement to World of Warcraft);
(iv) “Spam” by posting or sending more than one unsolicited message or piece of mail to a single address or in a chat area;
(v) Communicate or post any user’s personal information in or on the World of Warcraft, or websites or forums related to World of Warcraft;
(vi) Use bots or other automated techniques to collect information or communicate or post any user’s personal information in or on World of Warcraft, or websites or forums related to World of Warcraft or Blizzard Entertainment
(vii) Harass, threaten, stalk, embarrass or cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort to another user of World of Warcraft or other person or entity; or
(viii) Cheat during game play, including but not limited to modification of the game program files.
(ix) Participate in any action that, in the opinion of Blizzard Entertainment results in an authorized user of World of Warcraft being "scammed " or ‘defrauded’ out of gold, weapons, armor, or any other items that he/she has earned through authorized game play in World of Warcraft.
Now can we please agree that these rules have always been in place for WoW and that updates may refine phrasing, but not core content? If anything the rules are more lax now than that were then.
thanks for the thorough elaboration.
search google trends for terms blizzard has recently started to use in “diversity” initiatives, terms they haven’t used before, if you’re confused what people mean by “New” 
(idk how you could be lol)
you can use the post im replying @ to try and find them in the 2004 manual, its like where’s waldo but hes not actually there.
Hate speech
tokenism
gender
You mean a tool King Games made, mostly with volunteers, starting in 2016? It provides insight much like those “which character are you most like” quizzes. What the Devs do with any character information is up to them. Don’t worry, you are not being erased.
It was not made by Blizzard nor is it being used in any active game development.
