Well, advisable or not people are starting to bail. Blizzard failed.
This is a person who considers BLM a criminal organization Blizzard shouldnât support and that kids shouldnât learn about âtransgenderismâ in game, so yeah no there really isnât. Ignore is great.
Blizzard should support anti racism and descrimination, Not BLM. That goes without saying.
BLM arenât the global speakers for racism. What utter nonsense and logic to have. BLM made a statement last night that white people should move out of their homes and give them to black people for free. If I disagree with that or Blizzard we are racist? k.
Blindly following an organisation whoâs done some shady stuff doesnât make you a righteous person who gets to call people racist for no reason.
Supporting BLM isnât tied to you being a racist or not, I canât believe what is going through your head, honestly.
You honestly have no idea what a bigot or racism actually is.
agree with everything BLM does or youâre a racist! Even when they block roads and riot stopping people going to work!! Or attack a police officer. OMG YOU BIGOT.

I guess the horse was a racist too? Agree with animal abuse and people being attacked? Or Iâm a racist? Throwing bottles at police officers? Or Iâm a racist?
Try do some research before yous start calling people racist.
Agree with my city being smashed up or Iâm a racist? Shall I go on?
Agree with taking over a region with guns and threatning to shoot people who come into it even when they live there or Iâm racist?
Regardless of whatever else, I fail to see what BLM has to do with a thread of a US server connection that blizzard put off for the time being (and said they might revisit later) due to the high population of that server. If you want to discuss your views on the Black lives matter movement there are surely better places for it.
You wherenât saying that when your agreeing buddy started bringing it up and being off topic, you where happy to talk away about it for 3-4 posts.
No, you are right. This isnât the place for politics. But politics were brought into the discussion and you yourself gave your opinion on them itâs only fair others do the same. Not to mention that I didnât even have to say anything political to have a certain someone lay out my views on politics in an attempt to discredit me, so thereâs that too.
But no, this is not the right forum for a political discussion even if everything runs on politics these days. This whole cancelation of merger was due to politics.

Not once did blizzard suggest it was anything other than population related, they even said in their post that they will continue to monitor Hyjalâs population and might follow through at a later date if they deem it necessary⊠If im wrong show me where blizzard said otherwise.
cuz being LGBT minority today makes you something more than being just regular heter0 white person + LGBT screeching is like 99 times louder and everyone must do what they say otherwise you are immediately marked as racist xenofob etc.
yes being minority gives you power to determine running the world⊠welcome to twisted 2020 year
btw blizzard give 0 (insert nice word here) about EU at all and what players want
if you want something⊠just be or pretend to be gay and you get everything you want⊠seems fair this days
So Blizzard need to say something for it to be true? Actions donât matter at all?
Read my above posts, donât want to repeat myself.
Blizzard can do clear intentions as long as they donât make a statement about it. Funny that.
Honestly? You think it was just coincidental? I mean the rest of the servers got (are getting) merged even if the people playing on them vocally disagree. You think that the only ones who went for a taboo argument were not merged because⊠?

What a coincidence eh? Even when the other servers had more of a point of not being merged. I wonder what gave people the impression that it was done for that reason.
Not necessarily but any posts to say otherwise are pretty unfounded⊠Hyjal isnât some âbigot paradiseâ or something that they are trying to push on Proudmoore. Hyjal has a pretty decent sized LGBT community itself.
But if they did that connection it would easily put proudmoore in the top 5-6 servers worldwide by population, not everyone felt it necessary to play on such a big mega server, especially since neither server was starved for population. The whole connection was thought of to help Hyjal more than anything.
Not that it matters but I play on Proudmoore (it is my main server on US) and I was (and still am) 100% in favour of the connection if blizzard decides to pull through with it. I am also in an LGBT guild on Proudmoore and I know just from our guild chat many people were actually looking forward to the connection before blizzard cancelled it.
Im not saying that there arenât those who want proudmoore to stay separate (there definitely are) but for one, people who are content with something are less likely to speak out about it, and 2 you cant generalise between a certain community because there are most definitely people within that community who think both ways.
We can dance around the subject as much as these people want. By now we know how it works.
And to be honest what could they do? If they didnât comply with the gay demands theyâd be hanged on social media by the LGBâŠetc community and to be honest that would have a bigger backlash than the Honk Kong drama.

Just going to say, Frostmane, Grim Batol & Xavius were prime candidates to be connected to other servers well before the programme was announced, Proudmoore & Hyjal (Probably) werenât on most peopleâs list.
In/from a game? No. In school? Yes. The same goes for homosexuality etc tho. There are people that are trans and thats simply a fact. Yes its a very very small fraction of humanity but that doesnt mean they dont exist. Schools shouldnt die hard dive into the topic (thats not their place) but at least teach kids that IF that should be the case that they are A B C D Whatever that its completely fine and shouldnt other try to âcorrectâ them and simply continuing being themself as nobody could/should blame you for you being you
I mean look at homosexuality for instance in todays time. Is it more widely accepted? Oh yes, it is, as it should. Is there still more discrimination than needed? Also yes. I mean saying fa⊠etc or calling someone gay is still intended to be an insult (which has always striked me as odd. Even 15 years ago).
The only issue i have with Trans in todays time is not the existence of it but the major difference in laws in the world in regards of trans. Like how easy is it in the US to be able to start HRT etc compared to Germany where you have to do at least like 1-2 years certain stuff while being supervised by a psychologist that is allowed to do more than just any regular psychologist (including in the same field) for him to be able to give you the OK to transition so the state doesnt say âNo!â.
Also people forming groups to advocate for the rights is also good and needed. When they try to shove it down your throats and start nitpicking over stuff that really really doesnt matter even in the slightest is when we will get problems.
first off, nobody is stopping non lgbt from going there or asking non lgbt not to go there.
They are saying, this place is friendly to LGBT people and if you are hostile to lgbt people then you arenât really welcome. nobody can stop you but you will be outnumbered and will be reported by pretty much everyone if you spew hatespeech for example.
Itâs good that you personally donât care about LGBT but this means you perhaps haven#t considered that a lot of them have it hard especially i places like the deep south of the USA.
if you donât care and they get some amount of protection that doesnât affect you, then, no problem, right?
but for other people it is a problem. for other people it is a problem if lgbt people are allowed to exist. for some people, lgbt people must be killed. they must be harassed at every opportunity, they must be subjected to hatred and vitriol at every opportunity.
check my other posts in this thread. I have spent extensive time on US servers.
Maybe to add some context⊠transport yourself back to 1940 in germany and replace the word âblackâ with âjewishâ. think about it for a second dear.
Just trying to paint a picture, because some people seem to be ignorant to the fact that some people are not treated as equal members of society and these movements are an effort to introduce equality. some privileged white male saying âall lives matterâ is completely ignoring the status quo that currently all lives do not matter and we need to redress the balance somewhat.
So if I go outside and hold onto a sign saying âpuppies are cuteâ and start beating up an old woman (not that I ever would, Iâm delightful ^^ ), does that mean the message on the sign is nullified? does that mean puppies are not actually cute and we should stop posting pictures of them on facebook? try to get some perspective.
Your issue is with indiscriminate violence and criminal behaviour. not with the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement.
to say you are against BLACK LIVES MATTER gives the message that you think black lives do not matter. that is racist. 100%. no nuance, or misunderstanding, it is racist to imply that black lives do not matter.
Full offense but comparing the blacks/Poc/whatever you wanna name it of the US to the freaking holocaust is borderline disgusting

People experiencing gender dysphoria need to be dealing with specialized personnel not people in games or even in schools that have no idea what they are talking about but rather would like to virtue signal by showing off their wokeness. Several countries have already banned stuff like this from schools and I think they were right to do so given that the people who were supposed to deal with this stuff had no experience or training in the matter and think that either pampering or disciplining the children who have this condition is the right thing to do, which usually results in disaster. Point being, this isnât something that is resolved with the typical virtue signaling of certain people like the person I responded to.
I think it has something to do with the fact that fa⊠is a ⊠satisfying insult and often not aimed at homosexuals. It actually reminds me of an episode in south park that pointed out how that works. To be honest, the person who uses that word a lot is a gay guy I know and he often uses it to describe people who are too gay.
Smart. This is not something that should be taken lightly. And the suicide rates among transgender people show that it really is. My suspicion being that the people who encourage this have no real concern over the impact this radical change could have on a personâs mental state.
Everyone has the same rights in WoW. Iâm not sure what rights you are talking about.
