What was wrong with the name "love Rocket"?

Well you see, someone once got a tattoo, and that dude ruined it for all of us.

Well Cancel Culture can go shove it…there is nothing wrong with the name of The Love Rocket at all…and I will call it the Love Rocket and I really don’t care if I upset some little snowflakes head with that name…

I don’t think anyone was upset about it. Blizzard just did this to appear woke

The term “love rocket” is used among adults to describe a certain thing but I never assumed that’s what they were going for when they named it. Even if they were jokingly referring to that its a very mild joke at best, I think WoW players can handle it.
And if you were to ask 100 people on the street: “what is a love rocket?” most would have no clue, or would say “a mount in world of warcraft you will never have”

Everyone has something they’re easily offended by. Some its blue humor. For others it’s sexual orientation inclusion. For some its gender roles or traditional gender roles.

When all games Stops trying to cater to easily offended people, all games will be better enjoyed. There’s a difference between humor and jokes and games like postal.

Somewhere along the way life just got too easy for people. And while that’s a good thing it also gave them a lot of time to complain about things that don’t matter.

I’m just surprised they haven’t changed the “for the children” achievement. That is used in FAR worse innuendo than the mount.

I considered that possibility, and if they were open and told us that was why it was removed I’d accept that.

Legal/HR did a blanket removal of every possible thing that could “foster an environment of harassment”/whatever. It is very much a move to make it look like they are responding to the problem.

They obviously looked at it and thought about how people would say, “Oh, so you fix the “frat boy” environment but we still have a mount called THAT?”

Those people don’t then send out memos to customers explaining their actions.

Also, they made have just been Led Zeppelin fans.
