Then you change the backstory, not their title.
It’s just like Damsel.
Apparently it’s offensive to be a young unmarried woman.
okay
give me all the explanations!
i still don’t buy it, a store refusing to sell a video game to minors would be committing age discrimination. especially considering that minors being able to purchase M rated games is why they ended up going to the supreme court.
Eh, there’s a lot of things about being minors and what not, they are legally required it to sell it to them if the parent consents I believe.
Telling people they aren’t allowed to be offended and telling people to grow a thicker skin isn’t “people trying to engage.”
But good job proving your own attitude.
They chose to do both. Deal with it.
You tell people to grow a thicker skin, but you’re the one that has a problem with it and overreacting.
Once again, missed the point of that change entirely. 
That’s… not how that works. Minors can’t buy skin mags either, and I say that as a former retail employee.
I really wouldn’t have a problem with it but a good example blizz pride stuff equality and here we set. Most the people wanting this stuff are all up in this offensive stuff they claim whether social media movies books whatever. Blizz could of just hired real pr who did their job and all the garbage in workplace gone. It’s hard to say offended by cleavage when your watching it constantly or whatever as well as here come do this movie you think these people wouldn’t show stuff make crude humor jokes in a movie to get paid sure they wouldn’t.
It’s a landmark day for video games: the Supreme Court has held that games qualify as protected free speech, and that California’s 2005 law banning the sale of violent video games to minors without parental consent is unconstitutional.
i could sell your kid an M rated game, without your consent, right in front of you, and there is nothing you can do about it other than taking the game away from your kid after i hand it to them.
I never said it was illegal, I just said it’s most stores policy not to.
Clearly Blizzard is choosing to remove that type of content independent of the rating so it is irrelevant.
Which you already know.
i dont even think you are correct about that being most store’s policies. maybe a few stores have that policy, but money talks louder than morals.
since there is nothing you can do about me selling an M rated game to your child, why should i bother getting it rated by the ESRB at all? this is what i mean about T for Teen not meaning anything anymore. it serves no purpose because most games made today go straight to the consumer via distribution platform. just because wow was T for Teen in 2004 doesn’t mean any of that matters today.
nevermind that most wow players are fully grown adults.
That’s entirely dependent on the store.
Gamestop’s policy:
The company prohibits the sale of M-rated (as defined by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)) video games to customers under the age of 17 years old . The policy requires employees to ask for identification of any customer purchasing an M-rated game that appears to be under the age of 25 years old.
Walmart’s policy:
We have programmed all cash registers to automatically prompt associates to check the age of to ensure the customer is 17 years or older when a “Mature” video game is scaned.
Player request,poor snowflakes who get offended by everything,they make me sick,go back to mommies basement and play hello kitty,we don’t want you herr
The real world is a rough and uncertain place. There are people who will make you feel uncomfortable with their actions. There are things that will “trigger” people.
Ironically, by scrubbing World of Warcraft of these things, they make it less of a world. And if we examine it, in a world where everyone is suddenly so concerned over what everyone else feels and how they should be accepted, the “War” part of “World of Warcraft” makes less and less sense.
For me, all this “safe zone creation” stuff just seems lowkey ridiculous.
ohh, you can threaten me with being fired from a dead end min wage job, im shaking in my boots. i guarantee you teens buy M rated games from both walmart and gamestop, in fact walmarts policy on that is older than the supreme court ruling, so there’s no point in linking it unless you want to be technically correct, but technically correct while actually wrong is not a fun place to be.

TBF, selling nudie mags to minors is illegal iirc
Told ya. Boring.
None of this was by player request. Your attitude needs adjusting.
Deleting some emotes and jokes, while tossing some male characters in places doesn’t make it less of a world.
… right. So much for an actual conversation.

well, you named two companies who the person doing the actual selling of games to minors literally does not care about their corporate policies and will sell to minors anyway.
and i would like to highlight that it says “may” contain those things, not “must” contain them
