I'm glad so many people are figuring out how it works. "Woke gestures" like removing lewd humor or toning down hotness or shoehorning in forced diversity or infecting the script with so much feminism Ghostbusters 2016 would laugh at it... They're all smokescreens. Token gestures. Megacorp CEOs want to look above suspicion and get dumb people defending the company+its choices by appearing to be on that side. In reality these corporations serve their shareholders. And if they have enough money, laws are suggestions. If the workers aren't hired on their merit, what are they hired on, politics? Casting couch performance? It's good to see so many people here figuring out how it all really works. Removing these jokes/flirt lines won't unharass those women, but it will please dumb people.
@@JasonGodwin69 I like how they removed the ability to target with /spit because all the cheaters who bought the dark portal pass were upset about getting spit on.
@@skillganon606 lmfao if that's why you think they did it other than reasons stated above you're pathetic. I don't agree with the boost shit in classic either but you're just trying to find another thing to be salty and sad about. Spitting can fall under assault and even of a sexual nature in real life. And in games is viewed more likely as "toxic behavior".... which I mean it is but it's funny. But that was going the be the first to go anyways.
"Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" is a fucking power line coming from a guy, it shows absolute confidence in yourself. Did they get intimidated? Who'd remove that?
@@Playmodik yes thats the joke, forsaken are basically zombies so if they are missing a body part then theyll just stitch back any replaxement they want
@@aitipsea3909 makes you wonder why they decided they needed to sew a pair of knockers on a corpse... not like hands, feet or anything else is more important 😂
Me too, bro. Latetlly I was replaying Starcraft 2 and turning on Battle net or Blizzard or whatever this thing is called now I thought "hmm it was a long time since Warcraft 3 disaster and Starcraft 2 is still cool. Maybe I should try that new WoW expansion" then I see shit like this and then "well never fucking mind".
@@amadeusagripino6862 You're not wrong at all. All of my find memories of WoW are just that, memories. I remember fond times with my little brother raiding, questing, etc. Good times with our guild. Sadly, the game isn't the same, doesn't value fans like us who played for the better part of a decade, etc. So, screw it.
@@byzantiphile7630 yeah, if they want to forfeit the faithful fans for a new audience that has no loyalty to anything other than the lastest trends and social media, let them go for it and find out if was worth it.
@Quentin Styger Name one thing they did to pander to LGBTQ people. The small amount they've done (it's not a lot, and usually not a lot of effort) is just general stuff. Gay people exist, ya know? Same with trans people, they've always existed. It's not like they just popped up in the last 5 years because people have politicized it more than ever recently. Blizz fucking sucks, but this isn't even a point to hold against them, it just makes no sense and seems very whiny about seeing gay people in a game.
@@undeadban8692 you're like a beat-down woman who is just used to being abused by their husband. Break free bud, play something else where the devs don't actively despise your existence
@@lordshennington2756 It's very simple. You torrent the client, make an account on the P-servers website, add their address in a .txt file that has some name like "sever" or smth. Then you just boot the .exe and login with your P-server account and boom you can play.
i know right? blizzard threatens to ban peoples legit wow-accounts if they get caught playing on a private server but thats almost like a reward at this point!
Genocide is fine but a blood elf say saying "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" crosses the line. While Blizzard employees published their demands for change, and management hasn't acknowledged them. They're just absolutely refusing to make changes that actually matter and it's just sad
Funny fact: a lot of title in the game only exist in the male version ("High Priest" for example doesn't become "High Priestess" when a female character wear it), they still haven't done anything about it. They could add thing but removing is just so much easier 😂
Personally as a woman I’m offended that they think that women find these jokes offensive. I laughed out loud at several of them. Maybe rather than remove suggestive content they should *gasp* actually do more to fix their toxic workplace.
War? Fine. Genocide? Ok. Torture? Sure. Stitching Men, Women and Children together into a giant patchwork-horror and binding them forever into a form of eternal torment? Cool. Men, Women and Children being tortured forever in The Maw? Wonderful. Naughty Inuendo's? THAT'S CROSSING THE LINE! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
They just as well. Or dress women like they do in dubai(whats that extreme full cover called again? I forget). Ironicly, removing jokes like these seems even more sexist.
The only one that is justified in being removed is the female blood elves "So, you mean I'm stuck with this hair color?" because we've had the barbershop since wotlk and it didn't really make sense for the joke to be there anymore.
Nah ut, let's say all these jokes are inside the game universe, for that same reason, it wouldn't make anysense the joke the belves says about having a bone on their nose, we can't have that, so inside the game and lore they probably can't change the hair color or need a lot of time to heal, the one I see justified it's one of the first of the female humans
They still removed all these in Vanilla classic and TBC classic. Sooo, yeah. It did make sense there. I've since quit WoW because of blizzards greed and stupidity, also gross practices. If I wanna play I can go to a private sever. At least the world will be more alive there instead of everyone getting dungeon boosted.
But what’s gonna happen to my male Draenei’s family jewels? Am I going to be given them in my inventory? Will I be told they were unrecoverable in the crash. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY JEWELS!
You traded them away when you thought paying 15 dollars a month for this game was a good idea. Nintendo had a similar crappy deal recently. This is Games-as-a-Service. The *way of the future* -future - future... Meanwhile, Imma play Dolphin. Ciao.
@@jaredlong8262 funny enough how u said" stop tuning everything gay these days " but known that straight mans are the ones who called blood elve man gays but now after more then 12 years , gay man feel attractive to them it's an issue ? and u dare saying stop making everything gay but mean whille u made blood elve mans look gay ? what hypocritze is this ? like really it's double stupidtiy
It's a funny punchline but what baffles me is how it seems to say "he" instead of "she", according to this and the Wowhead post, which does sound a bit sketchy. It's hard to say which one it actually is, "she" would make a whole lot more sense for sure.
@@soulextracter I get that, and it's the aspect of the joke that makes it unnecessarily creepy and quite frankly, makes less sense too, since he's stealing _her_ radio, not his. I'm mostly wondering if it's a typo on Wowhead and here or if that's really the intention, though.
I'm so happy to see my 15 dollars a month making the game better! This definitely isn't a waste of time and counterintuitive. Very proud of you Blizzard, great small indie company!
@@ImZiki Yeah it very well could have, Rodriguez. The sarcasm was quite obvious though. People still give them 15 a month and complain on forums and youtube. And that is what is most likely happening here. And with you. Still giving them money, then coming to youtube and making sarcastic remarks. Like that is going to do anything. .
This is worse than doing nothing, it just implies that the problems women had were from the players not the office culture that is the sole responsibility of blizz.
I always loved that Tauren male joke. "Homogenized? Nah, I like the ladies." Just further proof I have no desire to give my money to these cretins. I haven't subbed to wow since the end of BofA and haven't bought anything in hearthstone nor heroes in a while. They're shitting the bed and blaming it on anyone but themselves.
Funny how you stand up for social justice by calling people cretins. So you are calling all people who work at blizzard cretins, that's offensive to people who have a loved one who suffers from this condition. Ok, so you stopped giving your money to this tech corp because their workers are treated badly, how does that help the people who work there? They are not only being screwed over by their bosses but by a horde of pissy kids as well, very sad.
"I kill two dwarves in de mornin, I kill two dwarves at night, I kill two dwarves in de aftahnoon, an den I feel alright." Vanilla players remember the long-since-removed troll /silly.
i was like okY teepee got it okay wigwam so maybe some minor offensive to native americans > two tense(ts) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally nothing offenseive about this, its honestly a really good and really funny joke
@@ShadeStormXD if any indigenous people find that offensive they should look to fixing the rampant alcoholism and corruption in their dwindling societies first before trying to say the world needs to cater to them.
Obviously, because "Humans" can't make Teepee jokes. Because Teepee's aren't "Human" culture, they're Native American culture. So "Humans" making that joke would be racist, because Native Americans aren't "Human". Gigabrain Blizzard
@@mjtechnoviking44 you do realize the alcoholism and stuff is due in large part to powerlessness at the hands of a government who claimed their lands as it’s own and forced them into poor conditions, right? Do you ever stop to think of why things might be happening before telling an entire community to basically just ‘get over it’?
@@brianmidkiff5408 bad take. If you don’t get over it then you’re stuck under it forever. All substance abuse is a form of self imposed slavery. No one put a gun to their head and said drink. No one told them to stop trying in life.
@@norielsylvire4097 because the fact that the company has a horrible employee harrasment problem, so this feels like shifting the blame to the player base and a way to appear positive to modern sensibilities while the allegations are still ongoing.
@@norielsylvire4097 I meant perhaps you should expose yourself to the real world and regular people, surprisingly few are obsessed about petty crap like this once they experience an actual crisis or emergency.
I'm just trying to understand who asked for this? I don't see how half of these could be misconstrued as offensive in any way. They're just... jokes? All of these undue revisions to non-problems are a complete farce distracting from the primary issue at the root of this whole controversy. "Yes we have a rapey frat boy office culture and we sexually abuse our staff... but look, now these characters don't make surly jokes anymore and women are fruit baskets!" It's meaningless and insincere. Leave the game alone, unless you're making it better. Nobody wants these changes and they're completely inane and absurd.
how to make a rich and immersive world for people to enjoy. Remove anything that might reference sex, sexuality, or any references that anyone at any point in history could ever have even possibly considered offensive. It cranks the believability up to 11!
I heard they're replacing all the models with robots, removing all text and voice lines, and instead of hurting other mobs, your spell effects and weapon swings now play an audio clip of something positive women have done for society.
@@Yui714 next they’ll remove the controls and make it so the game plays itself so players can interact with each other in “potentially socially harmful ways” and it just becomes a sad, bad movie no one wants to watch
"Guys we did it, we fixed WoW" "Oh nice, you stopped with the awful systems and bad writing and started listening to feedback?" "No, we removed the funny/sexy stuff!" And they wonder why people are leaving.
@@turbotrup96 Source: Trust me bro. You can find approximate ratios from the lead dev (they probably have these numbers for marketing purposes). But just from my personal experience meeting people in games and talking to them on discord, I've encountered the most women on FFXIV, and the least on EvE online, with WoW more towards the EvE scale. Not the most scientific but i believe most players would agree
They lost my interest back during the early days of BfA, came back for Shadowlands and left as Nathria was releasing...Eorzea is so much better.....What data center you on? Crystal for me.
So they removed the troll spa joke for blood elves, disregarding the context that these two races have like thousands of years of conflict and animosity between each other, because some external party thought that it's not ok to portray dreadlocks, a minority hairstyle, in a bad light?
@@TheWolle96 because americans pretend to be worldly, tell others to educate themselves, but still don't know what goes on or has gone on in the world beyond America and bits of Africa, which they only know about because the slave trade is relevant directly to American history.
@@Zakjuh Hi, American here. Dreadlocks don't belong to any ethnic/racial group. Imo that joke implies that dreadlocks are unattractive. I happen to wear dreadlocks and take offense, but it's a fucking joke! Not everyone will find it funny. Removing the joke is extreme. Words are wind.
@@TheWolle96 The woke crowd think that history starts in the 1800s. Anything older than that might as well not exist as far as their awareness goes. Also don't expect most Americans to know the first thing about Old World history. Our education system is pathetic and barely even covers American history, let alone the classical eras.
Just keep posting these things guys, because we all know this shows that blizzard would rather do the most pointless of changes to their game than fix their working environment
Some of these are absolutely brilliant and I'd forgotten they existed - thank you for the upload! Going to have to try to remember that Goblin one, it's incredible.
them removing these silly lines is clearly just them trying to make the backlash to their treatment of their women staff seem ridiculous. if you do silly, no-effort responses to big problems, it makes the problem seem a lot smaller. don't let them manipulate you into thinking that there isn't anything wrong with blizzard and their treatment of women.
I don't much care for the women, they can sort their part out. I care for the men who are allowed to act like already unacceptable frat boys in a place where there shouldn't be any frat boys in the first place.
this isn't about the lawsuit, that was just a good opportunity for them to get more heavy-handed with inserting their politics into the game. Like... what does the two tents joke have to do with sexual harassment?
@@docterfreeze2918 Tin foil hat? Corporations have no political interests other than making money. Do you think Bobby Kotick has any politically driven motivations? No, he wants to make money and f-ck k-ds on Epstein island. That's what neoliberalism is all about.
Ik, it's literally just a pun. It's a clever joke, I'd feel insulted if I wrote that joke and they removed it, it's like they are accusing the person who made it of being racist. It's sad.
Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten about the silly/joke command! Some of these are definitely dated, but I am officially disappointed they removed the male Belf "Don't you wish your girlfriend was, hot, like, me?" It's so corny, but still amuses me.
@@cloudshifter with all the money they made at their peak through wow subscriptions alone it would probably take longer than a year to go bankrupt. Sad reality is we the public didn't always know what they were like and we made them fucking rich.
That’s what happens when you hire on those who are in a cult of the mentally ill. I’ll enjoy my private servers and encourage others to do the same. It’s a small price to pay to not have my gameplay controlled by their frail, delicate sensibilities.
Could you imagine being so dedicated to a safe working environment that you do everything in your power to annihilate some silly jokes and do nothing to actually stop sexual harassment… Also serious lore question who flirts with a demon hunter?
@@aureliodeprimus8018 I mean some of them I understand removing like the line “are you a demon? I find myself wanting to stalk you” But are they so lazy that they think that shit is enough to make us forget all the shit they pulled on us… I’m still trying to forgive them for Warlords of Dreanor and Battle for Azeroth’s ending and now I’m just waiting for what they do to screw me over now
@@malphasblackwing420 I don`t know. I quit playing Blizzard games one month before all this shit came out, due to suffering a faulty internet connection for a week and realizing not missing them at all. I love the universes and stories, but they just mess up those more and more....
@@realkorti It honestly gives the worst kinds of people in this world power also. All they do is ride the latest twitter wave/trend and shit. No one heard these fucks 20 years ago, but we are hearing and catering to them loud and clear now. I think we just need to abolish twitter and facebook for political shit.
@@shadzzosama and that's the saddest part. people going nuts on management for that but it's actually the devs responsibility. now what other things did players blame management for that may where actually the devs fault? think about that.
@@anshaabdul1089 i know your comment is sarcastic but if they really thought that way they should remove pickpocketing and maybe even the killing completely… And maybe rename the undead to “unparticipating in life” or something like that
Because everything said now days offends GenZ and whatever they call this newest generation that is just coming to age of gaming. They think the stupidest shit on Tiktok is funny but find jokes like this over the top offensive lol. Just wait until they are introduced to dad jokes, God forbid how offended they become then!
@@thedoctor7949 I thought these *were* dad joke style? And yeah, someone help us when they replace this lot with their daft drek. None of it makes sense, it tends to end in screechy electronic discordant noises and they will have to swap them out once a week because the second something goes mainstream they suddenly detest it. Might as well all say " insert tiktok meme auto load- laugh track initiated" for every /silly. 😖
@KD holy moly. now that you say it i can see it. but how unimaginable thin needs your skin to be so you're offended by that? like are they gonna remove different accents next because it could offend someone? i wouldn't even wonder if they did...
@@thedoctor7949 hey, do not blame GenZ. GenZ has never asked for this, and most people I know of pretty low ages would know how stupid this is. There is this idea that "GenZ are all sensible", that, while makes sense of coming from Twitter, is actually pretty erroneous from what I've seen. It's not the GenZ, it's just blizzard being an idiot once again
If I was a developer on wow I would literally just make it so typing /flirt at someone literally brings up a contract that is absurdly long detailing that another player wishes to flirt in some manner and requiring the other person to spend like 10 minutes signing and initialing the contract
But why? I'm not being sarcastic I'm genuinely curious. Most of these are light hearted jokes at worst and the flirt wasn't anything rapey. It's just silly that they removed all of these in game which does help anybody who either RPs or just uses these to pass time in raids or even just giggle at while drunk.
"What's estrogen? Can you eat it?" "Yes, they're real. They're not mine... but they're real." "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot. like. me?" we will never recover from this loss.
They removed a joke about the makarena because of McCree. This company is just absolutely stupid. Both the flirt and joke lines are meant to be funny and silly little things you can do to get a laugh out of others or yourself. Stuff meant to amuse you. But, hey, this is so ridiculous, I don't even want to talk about it. Boycott Activision-Blizzard.
@@jeffreylundin4716 DO you truly think that the removal of those jokes is the reason to start an organized boycott? I would say that this is just another example of why there ought to be an organized boycott. It goes to show that the integrity of the company has disappeared in the depths of some pit, when the fundamental wholeness of their games is no longer considered as something that ought to be kept up. It is totally permissible to retcon things that were established in a multitude of previous titles, when it comes to the story of the games, it is TOTALLY "okay" to make whole literary works obsolete due to some willy-nilly changes, it is absolutely appropriate to remove things that exemplify the dev team's appreciation of the community. Not only that, but it is absolutely reasonable to assume that this company does not deserve to be supported, considering the fact that it does not allow its developers to take the time needed to create as massive a product as the company would like them to create. Broken systems in WoW months, even years after the expansion is released, all owed up to the fact that the dev team did not get to utilize as much time play-testing as possible. Systems that are purposefully designed to be anti-player, just because those benefit the company. Sub-par products sold at prices so great it would seem one is buying a new arm and leg, rather than a game. Examples abound - A multiplayer only game that features an obscene number of micro-transactions that costs 60$. A remake of a 15+ year old game that is worse in every conceivable aspect than the older version because it was rushed and filled with anti-user systems. A number of expansions that do not care for the accomplishment of the player in previous sections of the game and thoroughly remove any progress they might have made. Not only that, but also inadequate compensation for the people who deserve not to be boycotted, on the part of the company itself. Indecent wages for the devs of the games; contract work, rather than full on employment; firing hundreds of people at a time just because a product was finished, rather than relocating them to other endeavours. Do we even need to mention the toxic workplace environment that Activision-Blizzard has admitted to be a fact, by both paying out a multi-million $ settlement AND doing everything in their power to make their games appear totally non-sexist? Don't boycott Activision-Blizzard because of the removal of a bunch of silly jokes and flirt emotes. Boycott Activision-Blizzard over the abhorrent quality of their recently released products, their unfathomably foul business practices and their dreadful treatment of their workers.
The joke references Mac'aree, a region of Argus. Did they really remove it because it sounds vaguely like McCree? Was the zone named after him to begin with?
@@waderoberts3701 I'd say it references both of those things, but the makarena reference is super harmless, and to people who don't know - and not a lot of people will know that there's a zone in Argus that's called Mac'Aree, even among those who have played the game - it's just that. Though it was definitely removed because of that. It's very similar to McCree, Mac'Aree, that is, and due to that they're scraping everything they can. It's so ludicrously dumb. And I couldn't know the answers to the questions you posed. Wish I did, but fuck if I know.
Yeah, I haven't played WoW in years, but that was my favorite Draenei joke. I knew it would be on the chopping block when I saw this, but it's still sad.
And at that point Blizzard management will get caught doing something else reprehensible and they'll go ahead and remove those last two voice lines to once again cure the problem.
Okay so when i was a kid and first started playing i told the human male joke at the beginning to my grandfather whos 80% Ojibwe and he laughed his ass off. Anacdotal but god damn lol.
Absolutely no reason to remove these. Some of the best jokes and flirts are now gone and I bet Blizz won't even put a cent into putting new ones in. We're losing content and not getting anything back lmao.
I haven’t played a second of World of Warcraft but the “homogenized? no I like the lady’s” line from the Male minotaur actually got me to laugh out loud 🤣
Probably not. It's a Japanese company with balls as big as Yoko Taro's. They don't really care. Too bad I don't like anime. Nor do I like MMOs focused on the story. Game seems good for what it's trying to accomplish.
@@Blitzkrieg1605 yeah for someone not liking anime style its tough but it does bring some fun boss mechanics which are actually fun and impactful to do.
@@Blitzkrieg1605 You say this when they are one of the most harsh towards people who break there ingame harassment rules. Unlike Blizz they are quick to ban
@@Blitzkrieg1605 FF14 isn't too story focused (which is unfortunate for me, because I love stories). It's very heavy on the multiplayer boss fights though; they're mandatory to continue the game.
Imagine thinking removing all of this will somehow repair their corporate reputation lately, when more than half of them have been in the game when Blizzard was still good.
@@Nesenda I could bet my life that no native would ever find that offensive. This corporate purge is just sad, they're going to make it a completely soulless game.
"Rules are like lovers, much better if they can be flexible." - actual quote in Runescape. There's also a granny writing sex poetry. Then again, Runescape did rename a ton of NPC's that were all called "Ali", make changes to tribesmen and remove "Gypsy" Aris' name... but sex jokes are still fine I guess.

It was still funny because it was a callback to that older time.
Nah ut, let's say all these jokes are inside the game universe, for that same reason, it wouldn't make anysense the joke the belves says about having a bone on their nose, we can't have that, so inside the game and lore they probably can't change the hair color or need a lot of time to heal, the one I see justified it's one of the first of the female humans

It goes to show that the integrity of the company has disappeared in the depths of some pit, when the fundamental wholeness of their games is no longer considered as something that ought to be kept up. It is totally permissible to retcon things that were established in a multitude of previous titles, when it comes to the story of the games, it is TOTALLY "okay" to make whole literary works obsolete due to some willy-nilly changes, it is absolutely appropriate to remove things that exemplify the dev team's appreciation of the community.
Not only that, but it is absolutely reasonable to assume that this company does not deserve to be supported, considering the fact that it does not allow its developers to take the time needed to create as massive a product as the company would like them to create. Broken systems in WoW months, even years after the expansion is released, all owed up to the fact that the dev team did not get to utilize as much time play-testing as possible. Systems that are purposefully designed to be anti-player, just because those benefit the company.
Sub-par products sold at prices so great it would seem one is buying a new arm and leg, rather than a game. Examples abound - A multiplayer only game that features an obscene number of micro-transactions that costs 60$. A remake of a 15+ year old game that is worse in every conceivable aspect than the older version because it was rushed and filled with anti-user systems. A number of expansions that do not care for the accomplishment of the player in previous sections of the game and thoroughly remove any progress they might have made.
Not only that, but also inadequate compensation for the people who deserve not to be boycotted, on the part of the company itself. Indecent wages for the devs of the games; contract work, rather than full on employment; firing hundreds of people at a time just because a product was finished, rather than relocating them to other endeavours. Do we even need to mention the toxic workplace environment that Activision-Blizzard has admitted to be a fact, by both paying out a multi-million $ settlement AND doing everything in their power to make their games appear totally non-sexist?
Don't boycott Activision-Blizzard because of the removal of a bunch of silly jokes and flirt emotes. Boycott Activision-Blizzard over the abhorrent quality of their recently released products, their unfathomably foul business practices and their dreadful treatment of their workers.
The joke references Mac'aree, a region of Argus. Did they really remove it because it sounds vaguely like McCree? Was the zone named after him to begin with?
@@waderoberts3701 I'd say it references both of those things, but the makarena reference is super harmless, and to people who don't know - and not a lot of people will know that there's a zone in Argus that's called Mac'Aree, even among those who have played the game - it's just that.
Though it was definitely removed because of that. It's very similar to McCree, Mac'Aree, that is, and due to that they're scraping everything they can.
It's so ludicrously dumb.
And I couldn't know the answers to the questions you posed. Wish I did, but fuck if I know.
would have expected nothing less from blizzard making the highest quality of jokes, "are they real" like 5 times over. good work guys.
“Whats estrogen? Can you eat it” should have stayed 😂😂😂
Way to go for Blizzard for once again getting rid of of something that no one really had a problem with.
They removed the kinky goblin lines.
How fucking dare they.
This game is dead to me.
*sad gobbo noises*
And they do that instead of actually fixing the problem.
Neckbeard
The family jewels joke was genuinely my favorite one in the game, goddammit Blizz.
Of the removed my favourite was the one from the Demon Huntress. When i first heard it, i actually thought she spoke of her horns/wings.
Yah this companly is stupid. My only hope is that someone designs an addon within the addon community that adds all these jokes back in.
Yeah, I haven't played WoW in years, but that was my favorite Draenei joke. I knew it would be on the chopping block when I saw this, but it's still sad.
@@celticnoble5650 Yet ehy arent dropping the joke for b elves alluding to ciggarettes lol
"What's estrogen? Can you eat it?"
Yes, at Burger King.
I did not expect to remember so many of these from so long ago.
That's literally the best goblin joke. And they're getting rid of it.
Elf: Sings Pussycat dolls
Blizzard: OMG remove it at once
It's a tragedy that these are being removed... At this rate, each race is going to end up with like 2 voicelines each.
And at that point Blizzard management will get caught doing something else reprehensible and they'll go ahead and remove those last two voice lines to once again cure the problem.
I use the /silly macro all the time and as a dwarf main i was wondering where the wardrobe ling went, sad, it was the best one.
Okay so when i was a kid and first started playing i told the human male joke at the beginning to my grandfather whos 80% Ojibwe and he laughed his ass off. Anacdotal but god damn lol.
Absolutely no reason to remove these. Some of the best jokes and flirts are now gone and I bet Blizz won't even put a cent into putting new ones in. We're losing content and not getting anything back lmao.
The hair color one should have been removed cuz you can change the hair color now. Honestly that's the only one that makes sense
Looks like the taliban took over blizzard as well
They would be an improvement
They would be an improvement
blizzard is based in kabul after all
No, Taliban is based. Blizzard is not.
Taliban are against the woke trash Blizzard advocates for.
3:12 hmmmm I wonder why they removed this one? Maybe it hit a bit to close home for some...
2:10
I haven’t played a second of World of Warcraft but the “homogenized? no I like the lady’s” line from the Male minotaur actually got me to laugh out loud 🤣
I remember when Blizzard used to worry about making good games.
Yeah, in late 90s and early 2000s
They're removing jokes now? What a mess. Glad i quit.
So this is how WOW died, it’s heart and soul torn out and we’re left with a soulless husk… well at least FF14 is a safe heaven from this crap.
Probably not. It's a Japanese company with balls as big as Yoko Taro's. They don't really care. Too bad I don't like anime. Nor do I like MMOs focused on the story. Game seems good for what it's trying to accomplish.
@@Blitzkrieg1605 yeah for someone not liking anime style its tough but it does bring some fun boss mechanics which are actually fun and impactful to do.
@@Blitzkrieg1605 You say this when they are one of the most harsh towards people who break there ingame harassment rules. Unlike Blizz they are quick to ban
@@GazingTrandoshan Sounds like FF has a decent moderation team vs Blizzard’s non-existent one since Activision axed them all.
@@Blitzkrieg1605 FF14 isn't too story focused (which is unfortunate for me, because I love stories).
It's very heavy on the multiplayer boss fights though; they're mandatory to continue the game.
Imagine thinking removing all of this will somehow repair their corporate reputation lately, when more than half of them have been in the game when Blizzard was still good.
First they took, "Westfall makes my ass itch." Now, "I like to fart in the tub" is gone. I have no cause to use /silly anymore.
Why would they remove the first one? It's one of the best dad jokes of all time.
offensive to "native peoples". Activision stinks
@@Nesenda I could bet my life that no native would ever find that offensive. This corporate purge is just sad, they're going to make it a completely soulless game.
@@TheXxmadmanxxkkk they wouldnt, but it isnt called "white savior complex" for no reason. and youre sadly right. cant even stand to play the game now.
Maybe instead of spending your time on removing old stuff no one was complaining about, you spend that time fixing your shit, Blizzard
OK all of these jokes are hilarious.
They are, but not to blizz.
"Rules are like lovers, much better if they can be flexible." - actual quote in Runescape. There's also a granny writing sex poetry.
Then again, Runescape did rename a ton of NPC's that were all called "Ali", make changes to tribesmen and remove "Gypsy" Aris' name... but sex jokes are still fine I guess.
"i like to fart in the tub" truly the voice of the people
