Niche drama in the recreation of a 10 year old videogame - World of Warcraft WotLK Classic

https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/virxqx/changes_to_human_racial_in_wotlk_beta?sort=controversial

Blizzard has been hard at work de-:chudsey:-iffying all of their games. This is solely to distance themselves from the decades of sexual harassment and the resulting lawsuits. From replacing scandalous paintings :marseyohno: with paintings of fruit bowls, to the addition of a incubus so warlocks wouldn't be forced to use a succubus. They even renamed "The Knicker" to "Blackrock Slicer" :marseywtf2:

They've just launched the beta for WotLK Classic and renamed the ability "Every man for themselves" to "Will to Survive". While this does seem like a perfect example of virtue signaling from a company desperate to distance themselves from a history of sexual harassment, redditers can't help but make smug posts and comments about it. OP had the :!marseybigbrain: idea to crypost about people crying about a name change. Lots of I AM SILLY vibes

Thought "every man for himself" was a saying, didn't think it meant literally "man" as in only guys

it never meant as only guys in ANY language. its just fake virtue signalling as always

Virtue signaling in a game that is predominant played by guys with fragile egos such as yourself.

This guy is unironically right even if he doesn't know it.

Instead of virtue signaling with changes like these Blizzard should try not to sexually harass their employees.

Found the guy who didn't read the right text..

Woosh

Redditers will flipflop between hating blizzard for not standing up to China, and threatening to quit and :!marseysoypoint: over their next shitty video game.

But... but OP that's basically what you're doing..

Or he’s using it as bait for all the other people. As seen by the comments.

:#marseygigaretard:

I am someone as far left as you could possibly be, and this change honestly just pisses me off. The fruit and incubus too. It's such transparent corporate pandering and what the term virtue signalling was made for, just a shame it's been taken over by right wing idiots, because this is exactly what Blizzard is doing. Like, oh thank you so much Blizzard, this really makes everyone forget about all the sexual assaults and suicides. Good for youuuuuuuuu!

It was a cool fricking name, just stop abusing your employees.

Lots of sneed in this chain :marseyagree:

Ah yes, true diversity. Great job, Blizzard. Pls congratulate yourselves on this great example of inclusivity /s

Woosh

This same guy who loves Woosh posting

That would be hypocrisy, not irony.

Irony means you're saying something the opposite of the intended meaning on purpose. Like for example if you get a speeding ticket and you're angry as frick and you say "Thank you Officer."

Long chain of people arguing if it's ironic or hypocritical.
