Hey there, been wondering recently cause an acquaintance made a joke about it when i told him that I play WoW.
The joke poked fun at the around 2012 meme that everyone who plays wow is a fat sweaty nerd who is absolutely addicted.
And after I laughed at it I realized the amount of times I encounter those kind of people is getting progressively less then what I remember, almost to the point that I wonder if they still exist.
Cause WoW has change fundementally as a game and I feel like the overall playerbase are older then back then and had to face the real world and either quit or are now either responsible adults or parents with kids and a whole life built.
Keep in mind I’m 18 and have been playing since Mop so I feel like I wouldve met my generation degenerates if there were any, but alas not to my recollection.
Would you say the toxic addiction community has faded slightly, if not entirely?
It was mostly addictive back when reaching max level was the main end goal and took forever.
End game content is pretty limited compared to the “endless” grind of leveling back when it was a thing.
Also, the addicted teenagers of yesterday are the mostly-functional adults of today.
My younger cousin is your age (19) and he ironically stopped playing in MOP LOL. his brother is 22 who also played wow and stopped around the same time.
IRL I’ve met a couple of people who would fit that stereotype completely, and this is in a country where WoW is not a popular game so the amount of people playing is very low.
Outside of those stereotypical WoW gamers, the rest of the WoW playing crew that I’ve known were almost exclusively women, younger ones. Not sure if they still play WoW.
People I’ve met through guilds and other online means, would not fit that stereotype at all.
I think I have not met anyone just starting to play WoW in years, probably a decade.
Something that I think can also be seen in game, as the playerbase seems to overwhelmingly made of people that are long time WoW players, with new players mostly not staying with the game after a short period of play.
Ah yes. Watching a kid defecate in a plate, spraying his mother’s face with his feces in the process.
Truly peak humor. The best of the best.
The word “cringe” was invented to accurately describe American animated TV series.
South Park, Rick and Morty, Family Guy, Big Mouth…
I’ve never been a fan of the word, but truly, “cringe” is by far the perfect word to describe these abominations.
So yeah they were somewhat obsurd levels of stupidity in the jokes, no doubt. But uhh there aint nothing wrong with some low lvl comedy, dont forget to have an advanced form of something, there must be something lower, and some dumb jokes aren’t gonna kill anyone so no harm no foul, and credit where it’s due, regardless of its jokes, it is and will always be a classic wow clip.
Make Love Not Warcraft was a 10/10 episode, I don’t care what anyone says. Anyone actually offended by it needs to take a hard look at themselves.
I’ve definitely met the stereotype IRL, but they’re the exception not the rule, definitely. The vast majority of people I’ve ended up having proper conversations with in-game are usually at least mid 20s with a partner, a job etc.
I’m not in the least offended by it. However, for anyone who didn’t know anything about Warcraft, their impressions of WoW would have come from there and wouldn’t be great. Wow players saw it as satire, non-players based their opinions of computer games/gamers from it.
