wow Inclusivity Updates in Dragonflight

[Stan 5,021]

Blizzard is working on multiple inclusivity updates in Dragonflight. These include various character customization updates like pronouns, voices, and more.

Character Customization

Character customization has been updated in Dragonflight, renaming Male and Female body options to Body 1 and Body 2. The change can be seen on the Character Creation Screen and in the Barber Shop.

Pronouns

Datamined strings hint at the option to change your character's pronouns. The current pronoun options are he/him, she/her, and they/them. This hasn't been implemented yet on Dragonflight Alpha.

Voice

Blizzard is working on letting players pick a body type and voice independently of each other. The change is also hinted at in the character customization table, but hasn't been implemented yet.

I mean, you can't abuse women if you don't identify as one, right?

You also can't abuse women at MtG events if you're banned for harassment, either.

pretty sure calling thot a thot on the Internet is hardly harassment. Not to mention that the two of them settled that little spat XD

Why can't we have something in our options menu to opt of these pronouns, I don't know about you guys but I'm happy with calling a spade a spade, having all these extra things in game is good and all but for the people who don't want to keep hearing about it have that option? Hope that makes sense.

Oh good, actual impactful changes...

[Q 131]

They're delusional if they think THIS is inclusive to anyone, all this does is push away the people who have been supporting the game all this time.

This is like one of the worst channels to link.

Not surprised WoWhead locked their comments, they often do under similar news. It doesn't change much besides renaming in character customization and adding they/them as an option, which is pretty low effort to be honest. And it looks like Dracthyr will be the only ones to have more body types, adding more body types for other races would actually be good.

The thing is that this is just agenda pushing by the woke, biology denying activists.

People want escapism, not Twitter garbage in their game

Companies don't really care, if they do this it means it's their attempt to attract wider audience (whether it works or not is another thing, but very often it does). And it's not about denying biology, on the contrary, since identity is a separate thing, but it's a topic for a longer discussion. That beind said, it's done in the easiest way, so they only had to change some text.

I read on the MMO champ on this very topic that this is all led by a single dev who is trying to push this garbage. They don't care about losing players, but the ideological victory. And after looking at that person's profile on twitter, I'm not even surprised

If you leave because Blizz implements some additional inclusivity things, then good *filtered* riddance

Lmao agenda? Dude you linked TheQuartering, all he does is push alt-right/white-supremacy agenda. The dude doesn't even know what he's talking about cause they aren't changing all gendering, just stuff to do with your character. 

Like what is the problem with the change? You're a friggin' snowflake. I honestly hope you don't play. No one wants you here.

A fame should remain a game. renaming Male to body 1 and female to body 2 won't make a better World.

I am against locking comments for certain subjects, this is not the 1st time, the fact they do that is to prevent people from letting them know what they think about these subjects, they pretend everyone is okay with this. what a hypocrisy. they pretend to care about the 1% players by preventing 99% of them to give their opinion.

Calling toxic bull$hit, inclusivity things is pretty hilarious.

 

This is an era of nobrain, really.. Take your non-binary nonsense and dive into the space to test your freedom too ?

The problem you do not seem to grasp, oh enlightened pinnacle of human evolution, is that while minority is to be respected by majority, it's not to be obeyed about every moronic idea they come up with, just because some freak thinking himself gender-confused chinchilla wants 'inclusion and representation' everywhere. You got a problem with that - go talk with Mother Nature.

And lo and behold, it comes from a 'minority' guy, that is majorly sick of a 'nonbinary' circus.

Isn't Hogger part of inclusivity update? He looks like he is in a damn furry costume.

while the "pronouns" stuff is stupid AF to me as long as they dont force you to have them its w/e and the body type 1/2 really doesn't seem like a male or female thing its more like a skinny or thick dragon look since neither one looks male or female in dragon form

its funny how every time a developer is doing something that doesnt impact anyone that is playing the game but is just a nice little thing to be more inclusive people act like there chars are forced to do naughty things with the same *filtered*.

and as some of the comments here clearly show we need more of those changes in every aspect of oure life to get all those disgusting people that actually call people mentally ill and worse just because they arent cis gender its 2022 but you guys act like your big friends with some of my german ancestors from 1942. i am shocked the mods arent deleting such comments

but  inclusion and representation is so freaking important because if we get included in more things the more it gets normal for people. we are part of the world and we wont go away and we deserve the same respect and the same rights as every one else and we need the representation so some day hopefully less and less people say stuff like "gender-confused chinchilla" or like another guy here that called us mantally deranged.

My guy this isn't inclusive it excludes the 99.999999% of people on this planet that know there's only 2 genders.

This is a completely nuts change.

Edit: Also, nobody was being excluded in the first place. You act like there's people that can't play the game because there's a gender choice. Stop it. Get some help.

You're right. Attempting to normalize it is the goal. The problem is it's not normal. So what you're *actually doing* is tearing down the pillars of society and our understanding of humanity for the sake of some few, frankly confused, people.

seriously they still doing these? i understand that accident happened but this is  earth sadly so many violence happens in this world but  we must move forward and not think of bad things.
