Its funny because although these things fall under hate speech i still see on average 3-5 characters named something either explicitly transphobic or blatantly sexist an hour… Its a funny double standard really that a player can get a week long ban for an authentic expression of their honestly held opinion on the forums, but players can run around just generally bashing and condemning anything even remotely feminine without any punitive enforcement whatsoever.
Double standards are cool though.
I am 100% certain if I were stupid enough to even post in this thread the kind of player names i am talking about I’d be perma banned from the forum… so why the hell does my raid leader get to run around calling the entire raid the R word all day with his overtly sexist name?
Imagine being the kind of man to roll a blood elf female then bash the transgender community all day long… take a look in the mirror dog your literally pretending to be a girl in a game WTF?

Blizzard rarely moderates their platorms, as is about to become clear to you when more people post in this thread.

So report the names. Blizzard doesn’t sit around and.go through the entire list of names every player uses. That’s why they gave us the ability to report it.

You realize there’s plenty of rule-breaking names than just what you’re looking at? They don’t get changed unless someone reports their name to Blizzard.

yeah i mean… it shouldn’t be that way… the world agrees… there is literally legislation being written into law right now demanding that developers and social platforms be directly responsible for the things people do and say on their platform.
But yeah… you are right though unfortunately
If you see transphobia, racism, or sexism in this game, just report it straight away. Blizzard does take action.

Lol I was thinking the same thing… I hate these personal guild feud threads so much but they can also be entertaining. This one sounds very petty.

I have no idea what this reply to me has to do with my comment.
Just report them and move on. This doesn’t need a thread.
