Is it just pixels or is it an attempt to make social progress?

Itâs just pixels.
The attempt to make social progress is failing while people tweet/post through it. 
Largely because of their entitled, pompous, and âin controlâ attitudes leading to well deserved backlash.
No I disagree. I hate it and I donât want to live in it, but that doesnât make it obviously or objectively bad.
Some people WANT to live that way. Just look at how many people play this game. The top 1% of skill is elevated, adulated, worshiped, given all the resources, and everyone else is laughed at, mocked, told they donât deserve anything, even though they finance that worship structure.
You mean what is not taught or encouraged in schools today? that kind of common sense? No wonder people are thinking this story is making Goblins out to be âgood:â when they are still profit driven just being smart about it.

He is the collest goblin ever.
art imitates life.
Entertainment will always ALWAYS reflect the current times of the Real World.
You can either go with the flow and adapt to the times, or you can be bitter and mad and rage about it on video game forums or twitter while everyone else who has adapted ridicules your bitterness.
there really seems to be no in-between these days.
I really donât want to read garbage like this. The thread was about the short story, specifically the âstoryâ part of it, and then people like you flood in to dump poison in the well. If you want to gripe about political crap go to X/Twitter for the love of god.
You arenât the only person causing issues and derailing, but youâre certainly part of the problem. Buzz off.
Usually not so transparently or cheaply.
Looks at the strict racial segregation concept for Horde and Alliance⌠looks at the real world⌠looks back to the game Um⌠I hope not.

I donât want to read garbage about imaginary woke agendas, but here we are.

feel free to ignore me.

Yeah, but to be fair this isnât new either. I mean, frankly the goblin story kinda feels more late 1800s labor struggle than 2020s. Although that may be more to do with them starting as way more robber baron like.

Theyâve got people devoting hours of their time toward a fictional crusade in a video game. Itâs honestly amazing that the people who insist on âdivide and conquerâ being implemented on the populace donât see the part they play in it. 
âIâm just going to spend my day arguing about race relations and workerâs rights in WoW because progress!â

Itâs kind of wild how the thread developedâŚ
Do some really want to claim here that WoW takes on a teaching role when dozens of genocides and whatever else are depicted in the game, and to top it off, the entire game is built on extreme racism? I mean, I donât want to say anything, but⌠

Donât remember any of these complaints when Gallywix stood up to Garrosh and demanded his workers get their past due payments, safer working conditions and to not be treated like slaves. But, Gazlowe begins to move towards similar settings for his people, just without a tyrant breathing down on him, and it is suddenly virtue signaling.

I remember doing a quest with gallywix and eitrigg interaction during bfa, damn gally was a funny character, cool to be around, now we have gazlowe being a ânice guyâ, interactions with him are not funny or make me want to be interested in goblins at all
horde lost the undead uniquiness and the next is the goblins. orcs dont even have a proper leader anymore, thrall is just a clown, and no one remembers taurens and trolls as a people of the horde. only elves left, maybe until midnight when they merge everything and defeat xalatath at the sunwell using the magic of friendship
Itâs a placebo effect I think.
If people spend enough time arguing this stuff over the internet, even though theyâve made no progress, they feel like theyâve done something. 
Iâm trying my best to retreat from it all, but it rears its ugly head everywhere now and games are no exception.

Are these short stories replacing the videos we would usually get before an expansion? Example: Warbringers
I hope not. I really enjoy those videos.

So what exactly is it that you think youâre accomplishing by inserting yourselves into these conversations?
Because itâs far from your first time.
