I figured if I got one other blog to do it, it would be a success and by that measure it's a success.<br /><br />It really is quite amazing that Blizzard either didn't consider the consequences of this, or did and decided to do it anyway.

And a large population heard this as Hate speech. Granted, a segment of the population of players who post in the cesspool (official forums) don't actually represent the 12mil customers that Blizz has. However a significant portion of those did hear this and interpret it as Hate speech.<br /><br />As an individual that guy can be any type of racist/homophobic/asshole/whatever he wants to be, whenever he wants to be. The problem here is that Blizzard endorsed this during a Blizzard press event during a Blizzard presentation during their time in the spotlight. Blizzard is responsible for ALL the actions of its employees at events like this. Saying "it's a joke" just doesn't cut it.Nightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607873303433033031.post-25822604795698359612011-10-26T17:13:08.543-05:002011-10-26T17:13:08.543-05:00Since the Westboro Baptist Church came and made a ...Since the Westboro Baptist Church came and made a little visit to the local high school yesterday, I'm already a bit peeved.

I'm not surprised that blizzard didn't think it was a problem, since its been on youtube for years, George has been commemorated in game for years. with no issue.<br />I do think it was a joke. and from what I know of the singer in question - he's most certainly not homophobic. and honestly, if this was a problem, people should have complained to Blizzard years ago, when Wrath of the Lich king just came out. they didn't and with that, they said - its fine and its ok. we get the joke. so this whole thing being seen as offensive now is just..
