Do you honestly think that was a productive thing to say, when you could just have ignored the topic, or does everything have to be whinging about Blizzard and Raids and Ilevel and Nerfs? This is a general Forum to talk about the game⌠I mean that is exactly what it is forâŚsoâŚlet people discuss the game and associated topics?
Back on track, its a tricky one. Iâm no puritan, back when I was a kid, before the Internet weâd go looking for âgrumbleâ mags behind bus shelters and in forests. Honestly, youâd think that was their natural habitat, it was bizarre like they were some furtive creature that naturally dwelled in the forest, and came out to die in the âElephantâs Graveyardâ that was the back of bus shelters. Either that, or there was a whole industry of crack commandoes whose job it was to infiltrate forests and leave copies of grumble mags around for teenage boys on their dinner break from school to find. I donât know, maybe if you ever saw them youâd notice a yellow exclamation mark over their headsâŚ
Click on them and theyâd give some profound quest text like âHail Champion, if you want the adulation and respect of your peers, you must travel to a secret place near the river in this forest, there you will find a legendary copy of âRazzleâ, bring it back and present it to the âSchoolboysâ faction, to increase your reputation with themâŚâ
The Internet killed that whole industry, sad timesâŚ
Seriously though, I think, smut is OK, when controlled. You donât want kids seeing it, and I donât think the âAre you 18 Yes/No?â protection is sufficient, I mean what happens if a 12 year old clicks âYesâ I mean we were all children once, and what do you want to be seen as at that age?
A Grown up. So theyâre going to click âYesâ because being a Grownup is some sort of magic state of evolution when you can drive, smoke, drink, decide your own bed time, and not have to go to school. Oh to be so naĂŻve and young againâŚactually no, it was rubbish, lots of spots and being nervous around girls⌠and having to get up at 6 in the morning for your paper round.
Smut is a natural thing. It interests us, because why wouldnât it? I mean, it is a depiction of something that is incredibly pleasing to human beings, a natural and healthy thing.
But.
There does come a point where an artist, whether audio, literary or yeah, in a video game, has the right to go âWait, hang on, this is my Intellectual property (Or âOursâ in Blizzardâs case) and I am not cool with you depicting these scenarioâs with my creations. You canât just take someone elseâs hard work, and bend it to a different purpose That isnât acceptable in any other industry, so why do you think it is with my work?â
Itâs a valid point, It -is- Blizzards Intellectual property, and thatâs possibly the issue, not so much that it is smut, but more âHang on, thatâs our stuff youâve just pinched!â

This has nothing to do with the game, this is borderline pornography and blizzard have the right to remove this stuff.
Dont defend this garbage trend.

Borderline?

I think rule 34 is what makes our modern society possible. Without it men would have whiped each other out a long time ago (like we tried for thousands of years).
In my opinion all the conflicts in the world can be traced back to not enough rule 34

Tbh I donât think this is as big as a problem as some people are making out here.
Itâs pretty crappy of Blizzard to do it after 10 years sure but eh, thereâs enough of it on the internet that at this point Blizzard is going to have an extremely hard time purging it and other people will just upload it anyway.
tl;dr yâall can live without WoW Rule34
They do have the right and that is fine 
but my idea is if people didnt complain about it and it was hurting no one and itâs a known fact people watch pornography in their secret private time but when the minors get involved then it becomes a problem which is what I think it happened some minor must have seen this and the trouble started.

Did you even read what I had typed. Proâs and Conâs, not Defending. Saying âEhhh on one hand X, but on the other hand Yâ
And yeah, It doesnât seem to be borderline. It actually -is- pornography so the question is, is that ever acceptable? do artists have the right to say "Whoah, no, My creation, you canât do this! (Personally I think they can and should). Itâs hard (excuse the pun) because there isnât a person involved, it isnât like real life smut where a person is like âuhh, yeah, my body, my rules, and Iâm OK with thisâ It is manipulation of images that as they are not a real person are actually âownedâ by their creators, who should have some sense of agency in how those characters are portrayed.
It has nothing to do with -this- game in particular, but it does have something to do with computer games in general.
Iâm neither condemning nor supporting, I am just saying there are opposing arguments that both actually hold some water.
