Itâs a company. Blizzard is wroten but not because you are a political snowflake. Thatâs on you. I would say thinks like WC 3 Reforged, banning Blitzchung, closing Paris, firing more and more people, having Bobby has their CEO etc. are the real problems.
Blizzard became a regular, greedy company.
Everything a company does is for their public image (and profits). Snowflakes like you will call everything political if you disagree. Thatâs literally it.
No idea about this person. They need new writers, thatâs for sure. If I would like her work? No idea, at all.
Bye snowflake.

Blizzard hires âwritersâ who are politically active on Twitter
âno you canât talk about that and be worried theyâre going to integrate that into the storylineâ.
I say thereâs every right to be worried.
I think youâre naive.

Glorious, canât wait until the Horde is turned into a superior gay communist utopia
Broke: Warchief
Woke: Horde Council
Bespoke: SUPREME SOVIET OF THE PEOPLEâS REPUBLIC OF THE HORDE
And I guess the Alliance should guillotine Anduin too for good measure, no kings no masters

Can you post more sources to your claims? Why do I have to look up for it myself?

Can we actually see some proper works this person has done before we start lambasting her with critique? Itâs not an unknown concept that controversial people have taken part in creative departments before.
Rather judge by portfolio rather than twitter status⊠
Any links would be nice?

As we donât know her work, itâs pretty useless to criticise it right now.
Maybe she will save WoW from this sh*thole the lore became since the end of Legion.
But I saw âShe/Herâ in her twitter bio.
Oh hell no.
Everything ainât about political but being worried about a whole WoW book about trans identity and sexuality in Azeroth and all is legit.
Her name is Diandra Lasrado and if she has written anything original I couldnât find it on my first cursory glance. Seems like she was mostly a story editor before. So yeah, probably not going to save the story.

I sure as hell hope I can live long enough to see hiring politically engaged people be the main âproblemâ with Blizzardâs politics. Last time I checked they were banning Blitzchung and mass firing employees

It doesnât have to be âthe main problem with their politicsâ to be the main problem with their politics you have something to say about. Their company politics and e-sport stuff just donât affect me as much as the WoW story they put out does. No matter if they are the devil incarnate, or if they are saints in their everyday lifes, that doesnât necessarily affect concerns about the story in the least.
That said⊠I donât think politics are anywhere near the top of their writing issues. Yes, I think there is some amount of âwokeismâ going around in Blizzard (like in most big corporations). Yes, I do think that tends to affect the writing in an undesireable way. But thatâs just icing on the 
-cake that is Blizzardâs writing.

I mean, sheâs just one of the designers, so she shouldnât be in charge of anything. So I personally donât see what the big deal is.
Which parts of Blizzardâs writing do you think are the result of supposed rise of âwokeismâ within the company ? Genuine question here.
Personally I must say that some of the things that bother me in the writing of WoW precisely fall under eurocentrism and other very unwoke things
I really donât know. All I said was that I do think it tends to have a negative influence, where it has one. As I said, I donât think it is a problem in WoWâs writing, since the negative effect would be miniscule in comparison to the glaring faults they already have.
But if I had to guessâŠ
Anduinâs prominent position was probably influenced by Goldenâs politics. She herself highlighted him as an example of the non-toxicly masculine role model, and since then we saw more and more of him, and his moral superiority. I would argue that this hurt the story quite a bit, but thatâs a topic for another thread.
On a more positive note, I would guess that Saurfangâs BfA story was an attempt to deconstruct the toxicity of warrior culture, which could well have been proposed for ideological reasons. Saurfangâs ideas of honor were torn to shreds, and in the end he bowed to a more universalist approach to morality. I just felt that it actually fit the story in this case, so I was mostly content with that one.
Most strongly I feel that it is present in comments from the devs that just proclaim that skincolor racism, mediveal sexism and so forth just arenât a thing in their world. These might not exactly impact the story, but they surely impact the game world. I certainly cannot imagine them saying something like that 15 years ago, and I do think comments like that are made solely to avoid problems with irl identity politics.
But really⊠this is guesswork. I canât read the devsâ minds. And even more, I know I am biased here. If you arenât seeing the pattern I suspect, you probably wonât be after I throw the gay spies and the trans angels (you were already expecting) at you, either. WoW just is too messed up, and ideology canât explain very much of their incompetence. This is not the property to criticize âwokeismâ over.

Not knowing someone is simply not knowing someone.
Stop being such snowflakes.
Wouldnât this be at least a much funnier story than Baineâs plot?
Whoever thinks a single writer of Blizzard is a communist or writes something like it in to the story has some real issues.

I remember the Betrayal questline in Azshara back in Classic. This is what the orc quest-giver said:
âBetraying, thieving woman! Thatâs what I call herâthatâs all sheâll ever be!â
âI may have made a grave mistake. I trusted a blood elf. Whatâs worse, I trusted a woman!â
Upon completing the questline and bringing him her head:
âHAHA! Look at you now, pathetic woman! I spit on your remains!â
Iâm surprised they didnât remove that questline by now.

I do see where you want to go with Anduin. Now I think itâs difficult to say whether this direction was chosen out of an actual ideological agenda or just because they felt the need to build a countermodel to Varian.
As for Saurfang⊠doesnât he just represent the âmuh honorâ faction people often mock as opposed to the more warlike, less aware of the raceâs past mistakes Orcs ?
Anyway. I guess youâre right when you say that this all likely comes down to our own political tendencies. What I mainly retain from this thread is that none of us seems to be very confident about whatâs to come in terms of writing and char dev LMAO
Now I can say that Blizzard have burned down Teldrassil, because Blizzard story writers are women haters! 
Like Night Elves is a race of strong independent woman warriors. And this is the only playable race that is always being beaten everywhere. The only race that was almost wiped out by strong muscular male orcs.
And when the time comes for revenge, they fight against Delaryn, Sira and Sylvanas, other woman warriorsâŠ
Now everything make sense!
