What the heck happened to whistle?

I went to whistle at a guy dancing on the mailbox and it sounded like I was calling a minipet. What the hell?

Is there some sort of parental lock I’ve activated or something?

SJW’s happened.

Look, I think I’m pretty progressive, but apparently I’m not progressive enough.

People got offended and launched a crusade to have it changed.

Still a shame it was changed, it’s so boring now.

Here’s a few other threads that were brought up about it though.

This is by far the worst year for political correctness in video games and film.

Much like the profanity filter - we should have whistle and spit emotes not show unless you uncheck the filter… something like that.

Or, you know, just tell people who don’t like it to deal with it, like we should be doing.

Not so much pc as some people decided to be pricks and abuse it, ruining it for everyone else.

Yep, and its probably going to get worse before it gets better.

Well, cat calling those rams for that quest was always kinda awkward.

They need a /goodlooking emote then, since that’s pretty much what TO ME a cat call means. Every race and gender their own version.

I miss it too, as that was my only way to communicate to all these smexy females running around.

Maybe we need to remove all communication, like Hearthstone, on the off chance someone abuses chat?

Reminds me of the religious crazies back in the 90’s that were the fun police.

Mid-age Karens had to change it

They removed me doing the /cluck sound when gathering those cranes too, that was the funniest part of the quest. You had all these people running around going BAAAWK BAWWK, trying to attract birds.

Do we really have to be re-triggered by this? Didn’t GD cry enough when the change was first made?

Let’s just move on with our lives.

People keep claiming this, but I think it’s more probable that Cap’n Crackers happened.

I mean, unless you want to wolf-whistle at a parrot. I don’t kink shame.

They should just add the old whistle back as /catcall or something.

But, yeah, doing that whistle towards animals in certain quests was kinda strange.

We were wolf-whistling at rams in Dun Morogh for years before Crackers happened.
