Without understanding the middleground or critically reviewing their own work. 2/2

People who write for franchises should know what community opinions ARE and why they're held / popular but almost never let that be the ONLY guiding light and I think Blizz has rocketed between the extremes of never listening to the community and giving the community pizza/icecream for dinner 1/2

You cannot ignore the sizable portion of idiots who saw rainbow and think that means it makes the story gay, and have been trying to legitimize their backwards right wing grievances with claims that they care or even have a cooking clue about the lore since.

Talking about warcraft lore often blends writing decisions irl and in universe justifications and is generally a mess.

The writers are in a bubble and dismiss all criticism as coming from hateful rightwing chuds and thus their stories are flawed and often counterproductive imo. 3/3

But the latter are often drowned out by the former.

And on the opposite end there are people who are happy Sylv and Garrosh got shafted not because they were villains but because Garrosh is brown and he fit the fantasy of a violent minority they wanna exterminate and Sylv is a woman. 2/3

I can't, and it's annoying because rightwing shitbags drown out a lot of legitimate issues with the writing by making everything about irl greivance politics

There's people who like Sylv and Garrosh cause they're fascists and there's people who are upset sylv and Garrosh got villainbatted 1/3

Broadly, there's two camps of critics

A chunk of them are people who hate the idea of the factions getting along for various reasons

The other branch of people who are unhappy are fine with factions cooperating but much more critical of the way the story to get to that point is being told

The richest man on earth had two choices for deploying his unfathomable wealth: 1) help the world in a meaningful way or 2) build an AI for bullying people. And he wonders why he's globally loathed.

Sad and ridiculous and childish.

These aren’t *men*. They’re middle aged children with too much fucking money and permission to do whatever they want, when they want.

Pretty gross. 🤬
