BlizzCon Controversy of the Day - TDW Geeks:
'via Blog this'
BlizzCon Controversy of the Day: Blizzard has landed itself in hot water for showing a video containing homophobic slurs at this year’s BlizzCon.
The vid, introduced by Blizzard art director Sam “Samwise” Didier, featured the lead singer of metal band Cannibal Corpse disparaging Alliance players, calling them “Night Elf fa***ts” and suggesting that they “slit [their] wrists” and “f**king die.”
The pro-Horde crowd went wild, but players’ reactions on WoW messageboards have been anything but positive.
Even those negative threads focus mostly on the mistreatment and abuse of Alliance players at BlizzCon, with homophobia taking a backseat to faction-hate.
In case you’re not mad enough yet, there’s also an uncensored version of the video making the rounds online.
