but why?
Strong and brave.
Sexuality is clearly more problematic than violence apparently. Kids seeing someone grab their balls, traumatizing. Kids seeing someone slice a throat open, par for the course.
If they had a problem with this emote, why did it take so long to get rid of it? This change is far out of left field. Literally. Left.
When it comes to expression, don't replace, add.
They did it. WoW is saved.
I can see people be upset about this one, but it is incredibly fitting for undeads specifically to have this animation instead of the old one.
I fail to realize how an emote of someone grabbing their balls is worse than someone doing an emote of cutting their throat
This is the kind of thing you see and can't help but get annoyed that they worked on it instead of countless other things they should have worked on instead.
if i hear even one of the wow casters say "clapped" ever again then there is no consistency. That's just as "vulgar" as this animation
I can't wait for the next wave of Blizzard layoffs, it can't come soon enough.
I dont see how the new one is a rude gesture
I don't even know what the old one is trying to convey
so this got changed because it may be offensive but the OW team can push sexism to its limits with skin sales because of the money it makes?
that's not even rude, its a threat. I used to think retail was the way and classic is just for nostalgia. Since the copy paste 0 effort saga started, I'm turning into a classic andy myself. At this point rename the game away from World of Warcraft (as you've stated Warcraft is too intimidating and you don't like it) to world of parody and let it die
damn this one is kind of sad. I honestly don't play undead but when I saw the original I literally laughed out loud. Shame its going to be replaced with generic threatening animation. I mean this is a T rated game. Is air humping / grabbing your junk really that much of an issue? I really urge the team to not cut the silly creative parts of the game that give it soul to be politically correct. Nobody wants non-offensive generic appealing stuff. Keep putting your passion and humor and goofiness in the game. Take the risk. If it crosses the line, learn. Don't water down everything else to compensate. Please.
Ugh. Too many soft devs in the new Blizz team. Another change that no one asked for.
Once again, blizz drops a change that makes me nauseous.The Disney quota this patch must be filled.
