Yeah, no. That’s just false.

“Positive representation” is a term I’ve come to despise. Having a game show you that "hey look, these guys aren’t so bad after all! " feels incredibly patronizing.

Instead, I’d prefer more nuance. Maybe make players question why a certain faction is hostile, and not make their motivations one-dimensional, or cartoonish. Life is one big grey-scale.

Unfortunately though, nuance is not something I associate with Blizzard.

Nobody (not even the OP) want clumsy forced “Positive” representation.
But it’s not too much to ask for some realistic portrayal. Adding some civilians (such as children or craftsmen) is not exatcly forced “Positivity”. Nobody is asking for a bunch of heros with halos saving the day.
And this only if they do a revamp in southern Kalimdor around Tanaris.

Of Blizzard haven’t done a great job recently with their inclusivity in DF, it has felt very forced (especially with number of lgbt quests). They’ve not done it well just by having it be too many and being quite cluncky.

You say that, but what was being suggested in the OP, to me at least, does sound insignificant.

Great point, thx

Indeed, the changes requested were pretty minor. Which is why I’m puzzled by the back-lash. I can only assume people read the title and were triggered.

I am sorry about my meltdown Aftenton. Narcissism or Paranoia I can’t tell the difference. But given the context and the replies. I assumed you where on about me.

I am sorry for any distress or damage I caused for my assumptions…

Why are ya so quick to bite?

Chill down, mate. ^^

I am trying! I don’t know why. Wow EU forums PTSD. I am working on it.

Well try harder, dang!

Is that skull you’re wearing affecting you? Is it a budget Skull of Gul’dan? Maybe try taking it off?

Well, you are from Argent Dawn, and I know how AD forums are/can be.

It was apart of my trail of passage… It’s a Sethrak one… I- …Shut up!

Its a hellhole that way. And it never gets better… So it seems. And it’s contagious. Very contagious.

Oh, I’m aware - I left AD after 7-8 years being there, just due to the negativity and other crabs going on, even if it wasnt towards myself ever. But the negativity did start to affect me - thus I left the server and forum completely.

Aint going back to that hell hole.

See?! It’s the dang skull, take it off!

It’s cursed with AD Drama!

Totally unnecessary.

  1. It’s been like a week/two weeks since it happened so the time for any apology to be given and accepted is way over.

  2. I’d forgotten this actually happened… you could have just left it and it would have been no harm, no foul.

  3. You really didn’t cause “distress or damage” to me, I don’t take the forum that seriously…

  4. You need to go work on yourself more than you need to come back here and pick old scabs. You aren’t the only one on these forums in need of that advice though so don’t take it as a dig or too personally and don’t make a big thing out of it.

Adios :wave:

It’s been like… four days but okey <.<

And I am… But part of that is to not run away from mistakes that I have made or caused… I didn’t mean to bother you. And I do take your advice into account.

I was banned until Sunday. After another reply… I am sorry the apology didn’t come sooner.

I would’ve forgotten it after 5 minutes… :laughing:

Well sorry. I didn’t <.< But whatever. Forget about it all. Didn’t mean to be annoying.

Now I dont want to!

You’re not.

I disagree… with so much of your reply. And it was insufferable to read!

…But your propably right about allot of things. Not letting the forums get into you or become a part of you is my failure. And A point you made I can agree with.

Teach me.

Then I’ll say that you should leave.

That’s what I’ve done on and off for years when it starts affecting me negatively. Step back and leave for a few weeks/months.

Stop that.
