Look. I’m not going to make this too longwinded. I’m going to keep this as concise as possible.
First off, I’m a female. I’m 24 years old & was a victim of sexual assault at 15 years old. I have been playing WoW since i was 9 years old.
With that being said, all forms of sexual harassment & assault should be taken very seriously.
BUT sex in A R T should be preserved. I am an artist myself. A sexual harassment lawsuit should not warrant censorship of art in a video game.
An artist worked hard to create those paintings, that armor, etc etc.
The fact that someone else’s work was changed &/or scrapped is BS to me.
Stop censoring your games.
I pay money to be able to have skimpy & revealing transmogs. I dress very risqué like in real life. My past does not have me living in fear & covering my body scared that a stranger is going to attack me. That is not how that happens statistically.
In my case, it was an employee of my father & a family friend. He was also a member of our guild in WoW on Illidan. What happened is over. He was dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. But I have gone on still having confidence in myself, my body & my somewhat revealing style.
Which keep in mind, I was a minor at the time, so I wasn’t dressed inappropriately then. My mother wouldn’t allow it.
With all that being said. In this game, as a player in a virtual world, my right to dress how I want WILL be preserved. Just as it is in real life. You will NOT shame women’s bodies by covering them.
You will also not shame a man (or woman) for admiring a woman’s beauty either. (Which btw, hello, they aren’t even real. It is pixels on a screen…)
Shame on YOU Blizzard for jumping on the cancel/censorship culture train.
