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.
My favorite Flirts are STILL from Warcraft 3.. the Necromancers :"I Love the Dead..... ... .. Frequently.. .. " and the Dryads: Wanna hear my human mating call? OMG IM SO WASTED, IM SO WASTED!"

Dude I’ve never heard this fkn panda joke earlier, don’t know how I haven’t cause I spam these occasionally but I’m still crying of laughter as I’m typing this. That one is quality!
There... Was actually a kitchen nightmares episode that went exactly like that, though. Everything that got any complaints at all, immediately all stock of it was thrown out.
It's like when a creepy dude is told to stop being creepy and he goes "FINE! I'LL JUST NEVER TALK TO A WOMAN AGAIN!" It's an old-ass tactic to try and make holding them accountable a pain for everybody else.
Blizzard: *Literally accused of sexual harassment and worker abuses especially at the cost of women.* Also Blizzard: ''Dwarf is no longer slightly damp, we're cool now right?''
There's no company i know that hasn't been accused of sexual harassment, only some in which all their team are men are clean of that. You can't control everyone in a company, it can be that the accusation is false, that the person wanted to flirt or actual shit but you need solid proof, i don't know the situation and neither i care so I'm just saying what i always say. You chose what to believe.

@Bukkie661 Twitch Archive If you ever found them insulting then you are the problem. Any person over the age of 18 and is sound of mind can clearly see they are hilarious, some even have double meanings, which is double the fun.
@@Biouke “inappropriate” sure. But that’s kinda the point. It’s just ONE, purposefully lewd, line in a massive game. I don’t think anybody heard that and thought stalking is good or developed a fear of being stalked.
@@TheLegoJungle Agree, thought if I put myself in the shoes of someone who may have had been stalked/harassed I can see that particular line bringing unease, to say the least. I think referencing things like that which happen in the real world and are not funny at all is a bit overboard and insensitive. It's the kind of joke you can make when you know people are ok with it but you would avoid it if you knew someone in the room was an actual victim of stalking, so I would avoid putting it in a PG13 game even if in the end that's pretty inoffensive ;) To summarize, no problem with kinky/dirty jokes, but referencing actual criminal acts is not funny to everyone.
I believe that talking about and representing things like this is important if we want to educate people to not do them. Everyone needs to have an opportunity to make up real opinions on the matter, instead of someone just telling you "that is bad". For example, a kid might act inappropriately towards a girl, which will then tell him that she doesn't like him. The kid feels hurt and avoids the behavior in the future. However if a teacher had just told him "don't stalk girls" without the prior experience, then it wouldn't have as big of an impact. I understand that speaking of stalking will hurt some people that have been affected by it. But these people must learn to eventually come to terms with what happened (they can take their time), because you can't expect the whole world to come to a single person's terms. Especially since representing the concept of stalking and other difficult subjects (without shying away) in media is vital to making people become more compassionate towards each other.
Trying to compete when they already crippled their game and lost the interest of a large chunk of their players. It's sad. If Square Enix and Blizzard were having a horse-race, FFXIV would be a healthy steed while Blizzard only has but a pony stick to ride with.
@@Sherolox christ, I knew Blizzard would pull this shit. I am sick of shitting on these guys but for fucks sake why are they making every conceivable wrong move? God fucking damn it. I am so passionate about WoW and it's being destroyed before my eyes and I can't do anything about it. Maybe it's time to move on, I already love FF14
@@Roflstab I mean: Is it a coincidence that 'Shadowlands' released during 14's 'Shadowbringers' ? At this point, Blizzard will just try everything possible to somehow, no matter positive or negative, stay relevant in today's gaming environment. They really just don't care about anything but money anymore, and as long as people will still stay subscribed to the current mess of a live service WoW is, it will make them money and forced 6+ months subs and more and more paid services in combination with stuff like allied races and store mounts will sadly be enough to cover their loss of players to at least some extent. Blizzard is a corpse of what it once used to be and at this point, I do not believe there is a way to save WoW. If I didn't give FFXIV a try after having quit Genshin Impact in response to it's horrible predatory mechanics, being dissatisfied with the way the devs handled the game and generally just craving an online RPG with actually deep combat mechanics, solid skill kits and a great and well written story, I don't know what I would be playing today. I sure as hell would've still quit WoW after the allegations.

Those who are really happy or at least dont care about these changes are not watching this video lmao, most of them are playing shadowlands and having fun. While most of the people that are happy with the game are just playing it, some of us like to read the forums and other platforms like reddit and YT.

@@Ravagerblade Yeah, it’s especially infuriating, because Blizzard will take away their player’s ability to make flirty jokes, and then turn around to literally beat and r*pe their employees. Bunch of cruel, lying hypocrites is what they are.

So attempted genocide, infanticide, use of both chemical and biological weapons without regards of civilian lives is fine. Silly flirts are baaaaaaaaaaad. Nice on, Blizzard.
In a world where we have racial genocides every now and then, yet it's sexual innuendos and references that are the worst thing ever... let that sink in.
Where it's between hilarious and pathetic is that they think people were offended by what's in the game, suddenly removing everything, when everyone was pointing at the sh*t happening in *REAL LIFE* in *THEIR OFFICE* . It's like some weird and pointless defense mechanism from a creature that's slowly loosing its sanity... modern Blizzard :D
Yep. They can't undo what they did in real life, better undo the stuff they did for a video game to make themselves look better for the public...and courts. All the leadership at Blizzard need to be fired, period.
@@ivant208 Getting rid of the additions that the ex-employee's added so they have no remnants of them. To paraphrase a tweet(which was shown in a Tali and Evi video) "After you take out the trash, you lysol the spot it was at." Which now thinking on that remark, makes the idea of them sanitizing the game now both literal and metaphorical.
This would honestly be beyond insulting to me, if I played any of their shit, god forbid. It is as if they are implying that YOU, THE PLAYERS, cant keep their hands to themselves.
New MMO: I'm the WoW Killer! Other new MMO: No, I'm the WoW Killer! *Both new MMOs fall flat after the new game sheen wears off* *Rinse and repeat for 18 years* Activision-Blizzard: Fine...I'll do it myself.

@@DargorShepard Let me fix it then: "(...) after all, what's the worst that can happen to me? You? Who cares about you?" ...okay that came out _really_ wrong, that would get instantly removed.
I remember my wife and I using all those /flirts on each other back when we used to play. Good times. So to fix employees harassing each other, they are banning flirting between customers. Truly the move of a clueless and corrupt company, trying to shift blame for their own crimes onto anyone else.
You can still use the /flirt emote, its not the end of the world. Also, by remocing some emotes blizzard is not saving anything. Ifk why people act like that. Every minor change they make its going to "ruin" the game and the fun. Like... srsly? An emote? Yes, some of you have probably used the emote lile what? 10 times? What over the other aspect of the game? Pvp, raiding, m+, mount hunting, etc etc?
I personally went to play WoW in the summer and was returning then the sex abuse stuff came up and then I left.. I regret all the money that was wasted.. I decided to do PC platform of Elder Scrolls Online instead ! Their game is actually better than WoW too. That game recently had an influx also. I hear FF servers got loaded!
Only thing I'm curious about is how you went about actually hearing these lines ingame (as someone who doesn't play WoW). These are some pretty good/bad/hilarious lines and it's sad that instead of focusing on the real issue, they're "sanitizing" their games. A bunch of scandalous pick up lines in a video game wasn't the problem, and removing them is just making everyone angrier.
You would type /flirt and your character would randomly pick from the pool of voice lines to say which were unique for the PC's race and gender. Other PCs in the same faction would also be able to hear the voice line if they were physically nearby.
@@mrhawkyy1 Plus there's nothing like being a dwarf and randomly talking about someone running their fingers through your beard after either a hard raid boss, or a healer saving your life
@@JustDeichan Please, as if people are asking for these to be removed. Blizz is just panicking and removing anything bad or sexual to cover their tracks, as if removing /flirt is gonna solve the sexual harrassment and sexism issues at their company
@@GazingTrandoshan Maybe the devs should have said as much. As it stands it just reeks of the higher ups pulling another absolutely garbage distraction tactic, trying desperately to placate people who are rightfully fucking pissed.
IKR? All these lines were hilarious! And harmless. Why the fuck did they think removing these great lines would do anything but piss people off more???
They are funny because that's how they were supposed to be. But unfortunately we are in a new society that does not know how to differentiate one thing from another, or separate one thing from another ...
"Um. . .You look like a lady." Ah yes Blizzard, that was definitely one of the lines you had to delete to save your image. As if there's any saving it.
It's how it always goes. Instead of people actually addressing the problems, they do things like this which the bare minimum. Change McCree's name and getting rid of bad flirts/jokes isn't going to make a better work environment.
I remember spending hours sailing over Azeroth on griffon back, flirting and joking over and over. Thanks Blizzard, for removing such a simple but fun part of the game
Blizzard: Adds flirt emote to game. Blizzard: Gets caught and tried for major sexual harassment in its workplace almost twenty years later. Blizzard: Basically removes flirt emote under hopes that it will even things out.
Alas, "why yes I do have a vibrate setting" goes the way of the "Do gnomes have a vibrate setting? I'm...just curious." from female draenei. Goldshire will never be the same.
Do you know that some (and i say some because i dont want to say most of them) of the RPers from moonguard-us hate those that do ERP on goldshire because they are the reason why moonguard is shunned down by the rest of the community?
Thank you for preserving the good memories. Some of these lines remind me about my good times with WoW. About the distant childhood wonder that once was. Sadly, everything decays. Even our favourite Azeroth.
To this moment. TO THIS MOMENT I was sure that the "afraid of snakes" joke was a relic of the dawn of WoW and refers to Druids of the Fang (snake druids). Silly me...
Well... it **was** a reference to the Druids of the Fang, but since snake is now(and was back then, but shhh) synonymous with penis(audience gasp), it had to be removed because the ass-holes had penises(probably).
There are two flirts that I'm surprised aren't on here. Male Tuaren: "Homogenized? No way, I like the ladies." Male Pandaren: "I'm going to romance all three of your kingdoms. Meditate on that."
You can see why they were all removed though. Are they funny? Some are. Most are cringe worthy teenage boy crap. They certainly feel out of place with the rest of the game. I can understand if your making a full blown adult game were you don't care about potentially offensive, sexual, or violent. But when you have this kiddy game and put these in it seems not fitting with the tone. Sounds like shit that should be in a Duke Nukem game.
@@bradleythompson5531 World of Warcraft is T-rated, which means "for teenagers" Given that you just described these as "cringe worthy teenage boy crap", doesn't that mean they fit perfectly?
"You look pretty, I like your hair, here's your drink...are you ready now?" - damn it, now I feel personally attacked, hearing my first club pick-up line in life xD
"Would you be offended if I said, you have a beautiful transgoto?" Yes, yes, apparently we are offended. I have a hard time even structuring a basic logic flow to justify any of this stupid nonsense Blizzard is doing right now.
Say it with me now folks. "PERFORMATIVE ACTIVISM!" These flirt lines had nothing to do with what's happening. Just shows that they really blame the playerbase instead of taking accountability.
@@ZodaSoda That is indeed very sad. There's not a single developer out there that truly doesn't care and just spears on whatever the feck comes out of their minds...
@@ZodaSoda I see how my comment can be misinterpreted, and for that I apologize. I agree with you 100 percent, the company can only go up from this point.
Also: "Well then, off to visit you mother!" "The Black Scottish Cyclops, now extinct." "Scotland's not a real country, you are an irishman in a skirt!" And many others
@@rafabuda0 The line is "Englishman in a dress", not "Irishman in a skirt". That alternate line is just as good though. If you came up with that yourself, not bad.
Surprising I actually find the flirt lines kinda fun, the innuendo is bad and outdated, but I really don't see it nessicary to pull these lines beyond the clear fact that the devs wrote them and that just doesn't help the image they're trying to shake, the joke lines are something else
It's not necessary at all. It's a tone-deaf attempt to score brownie points with the perpetually offended and to change the dialogue from "we abused and discriminated our staff for years on end" to "we here at (company) stand for (current-day feel-good buzzwords), look how virtuous we are!" It's laughably pathetic at best and heartwrenchingly sad at worst.
@@HiddenEvilStudios the “perpetually offended” as you seem to call them are more upset about the real humans being sexually abused in real human life. They didn’t do this at the behest of some secret, powerful and shady group of crybabies or whatever you dorks think. This was bland corporate readjusting meant to be a “signal” to no singular group in particular
@@thefatherinthecave943 My guy, he was saying that Blizzard removed them so they would look good and hopefully have it distract from their shitty behavior.
The pause in "i hope you like tattoos, because they're permanent" before the last part of the line had me thinking how the fuck was that a flirt, amazing.
@@davidbodor1762 Well, sure, you could interpret it in such a way, but when the intention for the joke was clearly another, why would you choose to? Because that's the thing, the author's intention is extemely clear, so much so that there is no need for any other interpretation, so why do it anyways? Specially when it leads to an offensive one?
@@Lowdian Because that's the literal interpretation? It IS a reference, sure, but if you just take the literal words it very much means that. Authorial intent often doesn't matter, but also this is blizzard, assuming authorial intent is not a good idea given what's been going on there...

Especially since representing the concept of stalking and other difficult subjects (without shying away) in media is vital to making people become more compassionate towards each other.

At this point, Blizzard will just try everything possible to somehow, no matter positive or negative, stay relevant in today's gaming environment.
They really just don't care about anything but money anymore, and as long as people will still stay subscribed to the current mess of a live service WoW is, it will make them money and forced 6+ months subs and more and more paid services in combination with stuff like allied races and store mounts will sadly be enough to cover their loss of players to at least some extent.
Blizzard is a corpse of what it once used to be and at this point, I do not believe there is a way to save WoW.
If I didn't give FFXIV a try after having quit Genshin Impact in response to it's horrible predatory mechanics, being dissatisfied with the way the devs handled the game and generally just craving an online RPG with actually deep combat mechanics, solid skill kits and a great and well written story, I don't know what I would be playing today.

Only thing I'm curious about is how you went about actually hearing these lines ingame (as someone who doesn't play WoW). These are some pretty good/bad/hilarious lines and it's sad that instead of focusing on the real issue, they're "sanitizing" their games. A bunch of scandalous pick up lines in a video game wasn't the problem, and removing them is just making everyone angrier.
You would type /flirt and your character would randomly pick from the pool of voice lines to say which were unique for the PC's race and gender. Other PCs in the same faction would also be able to hear the voice line if they were physically nearby.
They're chat commands depending on the race and sex of your character, and it would play some of these among others at random every time you did.
I have always found them awkward. But not to the point to call for their removal.
