Old School RuneScape is a video game that was created in 2013 based on a 2007 server backup from the game RuneScape, for players who felt like RuneScape lost a lot of the "old school" feel in various post-2007 changes to the game.
One of the quests in the game is called "Lunar Diplomacy", and its plot involves making contact with a group of mystics called the Moon Clan, earning their respect, and taking a drug-induced trip into the inner self to learn about life or something.
The quest ends with a fight against a demiboss called "Me", who models the character's appearance and attacks and has various dialogue lines poking fun at the idea of fighting yourself as a boss fight (e.g. "Stop hitting yourself!").
The drama begins with the following patch note in this morning's update:
An unnecessarily hurtful insult has been removed from the fight against Me in Lunar Diplomacy.
Players quickly discovered that the removed voice line was "You do know those clothes make you look fat!"
Drama follows:
"I loved that line. It's just what people often say to themselves even when it's not entirely true."
"I’m overweight and I think this is ducking pathetic."
"replace it with "The Wilderness scares you like a school girl" lol"
"Holy moly thats incredible. 2 people poopy their pants over fantasy dialogue and they remove it!"
Thread about the validity of "snowflakes"
Another thread about the validity of "snowflakes"
"Devaluates my bread-and-pies-only ironman"
"Why is there a giant broccoli in the first image?" (not actually related to the drama, just thought that one was funny)
Probably going to be some more that gets added to these threads later today as people wake up.

They also changed the dialogue to something arguably more offensive: "You've got an outrageous accent, you silly thing!" Also I didn't realize SRDs bar for "drama" was so fricking low, this is an /r/Moviescirclejerk tier post, just a soapbox.

Yeah, you could spin that new line as potentially xenophobic or racist.
