You are delusional.
Teachers were even more predominantly female in the 1920's than now - you know the ones who taught those pussy feminized soldiers who were storming the beaches in Normandy.

Checked with ChatGPT and the majority of school principals used to be men if we're talking 1900 onwards. Now it's women. Now what effect they have is another question, I'm not American. Women have also become a bigger part of the schoolboards.

How much of the feminization of education in modern times have been caused by that or on the political level is an interesting question.

Yeah this happened a couple of months ago. WoW community went berserk over this statement and I hated it too. Unfortunately it came out of Metzen out of all people

Oh well, my beloved WoW hasn't been the same for a long time for a reason.

Anybody insane enough to imply that it was woman in the schools that engineered the men that won WW2 is an absolute moron. It's not a hard equation, people are just hung up because they've been brainwashed for a decade to think men and woman are the same. They're not. You put more females in a space, it will become feminized, it's as simple as that, and especially when men are emasculated by the media and a whole political party. Just look at the democratic party, they owned all the institutions, still do with some like Hollywood and schools/college. Look at who they are, and you know it's a hyper feminized man hating group.

It's simply too hard of a reality for some to accept, and they'd rather stay nestled against the bussom of the comforting idea that the feminine aspect will protect them from assertiveness and responsibility.

War is what's most missing in the Warcraft franchise, damn I miss the Warcraft RTS, maybe we'll never get another one.

As for that old shemale's comment, it's because of shit like this that being a fag is a crime in Middle Eastern countries and China.

Yeah last time I tried it I thought they should have called it Fetch/Craft because those are the two things you did in it.
 
I'm just lucky i got to experience vanilla WoW in 2005, after Alterac Valley was introduced IIRC. For more than 2 years i got some of the best experiences and memories in gaming, before i stopped during the Burning Crusade expansion. That's even better than playing current WoW classic because back then you didn't even have the vast knowledge you have now as everything was still new. Going completely blind and learning as you go was part of the experience. One of the best "you had to be there" moments in gaming.

The only other times i played WoW again was on two different private servers of Lich King and Cataclysm for PVP only. I never played any expansion after Cata, the Kung Fu Panda expansion completely turned me off from the game.

Seeing what WoW has become makes me sad but at the same time very happy i didn't let myself ruin it for me by participating.

2004-2010 was the best era for WoW. Everything after has been mostly downhill.

Yeah, I'm very glad I got to play WoW in that time period, it was an incredible gaming experience. I stopped after Pandaria, so around 2012 I think? I look at the game today and I wonder why it mellowed so much...
 
That statement sounds somehow like someone got scared of their own shadow. lol

Western gaming is truly lost in nonsense.

Not really a fan of Warhammer stuff (don't dislike it, just don't know much about it), but I really hope Cavill's project turns out well, is true to the source material and has great success. There is just way too much stuff converted into something else. No one would mind them creating there own stuff and in some ases probably enjoy it as well, but why take something and transform it? That defeats the point of using the IP.
 
everything is offensive nowdays lmao.

im not suprise if someone gonna butthurt over "swordman" or something like that in future lol.

this remind me of FFXIV where there is rumors that former localisation/lore consultant kate cwynar change term name of certain stuff in game like "beast tribe" into "allied society" just because she felt that the word "beast" is offensive and many other things. all those weird name in Dawntrail probably is due to her. glad they kick him out from the company.
 
When a franchise goes on too long in the West, the dev team gets replaced with people that have zero passion for what it is they are working on.

This is the No.1 problem with Halo and it already happened with WoW about a decade ago until the head hancho returned with the last few expansions.

When these studios get bought up and merge, the passionate devs cash out and leave and they're replaced with people who don't give a shit about the source material. At that point, just let the IPs die.
 
They can rename it to World of Wokecraft a still keep WoW abbreviation then. Other studios might not be so lucky for having their "unfortunate" original title/name.
 
Every day I become more and more convinced that practically the entire western game development industry needs to burn to the ground. It's irredeemable.

The industry is just totally incapable of A) understanding who their customer is and what they want, and B) developing a product in a reasonable timeframe with a sane budget.

Thankfully the easy money is going away now, and they have to face cold hard financial reality.
 
I've been bitching about Blizzard's gradual shift in art direction for over 20 years. You could already see the aesthetic downgrade with Warcraft III. It was already getting way too cartoony. Warcraft II had the right character design, they should've stuck with that.

Then it just kept getting worse. Everyone remembers the Diablo III color palette controversy. And when you look at that god-awful CGI posted above, it just confirms everything.

I've never been able to stand World of Warcraft, not since day one. I'm sick of that MMO. It robbed us of Warcraft IV. And now it's way too late to make one anyway, considering the morons running Blizzard these days.

As an ancient Warcraft 2 (NOT 3) fan, I agree. But probably for different reasons.

I was pretty butthurt about Warcraft 3 (no naval combat? hero units with XP? creeps? wtf?) when I first played the beta but eventually I realized it was amazing. But little did I know WoW was coming and it was already Joever for proper Warcraft.
