This is one sacrifice that won’t be remembered well.

Apparently I can’t even link to wowhead anymore… more idiot proofing for the forums I guess so delete those spaces. It’s near impossible to get a virus these days the way adblock and windows work I don’t get it.

Yeah that’s kind of a lame change.

Someone is paid to do this. Someone’s job is to actually go through toys and emotes and change them for absolutely no good freaking reason. Why don’t they focus on the important things like saving their game and company before it goes down the tubes?

Especially in that case. That is seen as promoting sexism, in the logic of the people working for Blizzard. Such heteronormative bigotry is not allowed, Comrade!

I’ve seen it in the workplace and yeah, it’s unacceptable. No doubt. Calling the old /whistle emote sexual harassment, however, is not just ridiculous and insulting to my intelligence but it’s also couching a political agenda on the backs of actual victims.

It’s kind of Sad and Pathetic IMO. The way we all have to bow to the SJW’s members of society. Granted, there are times when things are inappropriate, but a /whistle in game is a bit of a stretch. I’m not whistling at an IRL person, but rather a cartoon/character/whatever. Well, mostly not. I did enjoy greeting my wife in game like that especially when we crossed paths randomly.

Well, if we are going to go down this path then why do we still have other potentially “vulgar” emotes left in game? Why do some NPC’s swear like when Garrosh called Sylvanas a B****. I don’t know what to make of this or any other thread made about it on the forum.

What, you don’t like the /whistle sounding like someone missing their two front teeth?

Unfortunately it is a casualty of overzealous political correctness. America has lost its sanity. My apologies to all the players not from the USA.

stuff like this always amuses me. people calling others snowflakes when they are complaining about not being able to whistle in a video game

are you so fragile that the loss of a sound clip sends you to the forums?

I think you are missing the point.

there is no point being made in this thread

just snowflakes being snowflakes imo. take away a sound clip and they rush to the forums to scream about political correctness

probably pretty funny to some people reading it

no…it isnt.
Some chubby basement dwelling neckbeard running around playing a female elf in a thong doesnt to cry ‘sexual harassment’ because someone /licks. sorry.
And such a person should STOP playing this game, thus doing the rest of us a favor, and probably never leave his basement ever again for fear of being offended by the sun.

Absolutely you are on to something. My right to be offended should overrules everyone else’s feelings. Quick I’m crying! Burn the game!
