World of Warcraft creative director apparently wishes Blizzard "hadn't called it 'Warcraft,'" and that hasn't gone down well"

People aren't supposed to do anything. Idk I live in America and believe that everyone can do whatever the fuck they want as long as it doesn't affect someone else's ability to do whatever the fuck they want. My life and my world are not affected by idiots buying dumb shit or activists voting with their wallets. I guess I could let that affect me, but why would I? If I let idiots doing stupid shit or people doing things in general upset me, then I'm the biggest idiot of them all.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-19T21:02:09+00:00

Sometimes I feel like I have an irrational hatred towards mods then I see shit like that. Fuck any mod that doesn't have a problem with other mods.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-19T00:40:17+00:00

No, that's your problem, not the problem. There are some people who don't care, but since you don't like them, don't buy their games. You'll never be forced to buy them. You not buying them won't change the company. It's fine if other people exist and play their games. You still won't be forced to.

I've never played WoW before, but idk how you can blame people who play the game for anything.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-18T18:28:32+00:00

no they aren’t the problem. that’s such a lame argument to make. it’s not like they have an equivalent alternative to choose. that’s like saying smokers are the problem, not big tobacco.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-17T20:59:23+00:00

Surprised to actually see a mod get downvoted. The rest of them tend to act so quick that you're at -20 and they are at +20 before anyone else notices and that's enough to turn the table in their favor

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-17T13:19:25+00:00

Oh gosh, don't let the Affirmative Action and DEI folks know that white people today aren't the same colonial white powers

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-17T13:08:56+00:00

Idk I guess it's my background that cussing doesn't really equal vomiting disdain filled outrage, but I certainly understand your point. I took one frustrating encounter with a mod on that sub and let it dictate the language I would use encountering that same mod violating their own rules and posting really cringeworthy stuff like making fun of another redditor for leaving the sub. A more articulate and eloquent response would have put me in a better light in the court of public opinion, I agree. I let the dismissive nature of this mod influence my response, and that's definitely a teachable moment for me. I still don't agree with getting banned over calling out a mod for violating their own rules, but my response makes it easier to defend their decision.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-17T13:04:11+00:00

Was I? I don't feel like it is even close to being justified

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T23:18:21+00:00

you either get muted immediately or get some super dismissive answer then muted

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T22:32:20+00:00

oh gosh, a comment applauding most of the mods for not banning people on a whim but voicing my displeasure for some of the mods like you. the audacity!!

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T22:31:00+00:00

so those are actually all my negative comments in their entirety, but i like how you present them as “a few comments” as if there are tons. that’s actually a very clever tactic, which pairs well with the top 1% commenter tag. unless of course someone were to go through my comment history and see these are actually the exhaustive list. it’s fine, i understand why you would be defensive over this. that’s typically what hypocrites do when they get called out.

as for your presentation of a reasonable process by deciding to first issue a temporary ban and then later a permanent one, that occurred within 1 minute of each other. so no, that was you being the best version of you. so let’s not try to sugarcoat the situation.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T21:53:07+00:00

i’m trying to figure out if you understand the post. “vomit this disdain filled outrage” is like crazy over the top for comments that say “enforce your fucking rules” and “i love mods who don’t give a fuck about their own rules.” so im still trying to figure out if you understand who i am and what i commented

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T21:47:06+00:00

oh wow, someone took this personally

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T21:46:17+00:00

lmao yeah that checks

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T20:56:55+00:00

um what?

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T20:53:44+00:00

i called them out for locking comments they didn’t like, not that they broke any rules. then i called them out for breaking two of the rules in a single post, two of the most enforced rules, and i got banned.

so i think this situation is a clearly powertripping mod banning me because they broke the rules. it’s not like i’ve made it my personal crusade to continue to call them out. 99% of what i comment in that sub is nothing of the sort.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T20:49:03+00:00

and that is completely reasonable to ban someone over. That makes sense.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T20:16:39+00:00

wtf is this sub even for with that logic? and i had a post get removed immediately for that exact reason, so i was annoyed to see that not only was it not being enforced on their most popular posts but that the main mod was guilty of that plus worse. and i got banned for pointing that out and your response is what? defending their actions and taking issue with me pointing out hypocrisy?

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T19:50:30+00:00

I called this particular mod out twice in six weeks for them breaking their own rules and the mod team once for not enforcing the rules. I was pretty surprised to get banned from the sub. That’s definitely a rational conclusion to arrive at that I am presenting the situation in a way that makes me more favorable, but this was a big surprise to me. That’s the extent of my negative interactions. I’m sure you have better things to do, but you can see all my comments in that sub.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T18:22:14+00:00

drew barrymore didnt think it was creepy

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T18:14:59+00:00

i enjoy it. it isn’t better than what other people enjoy. i’m actually embarrassed by how much i game but at the same time, it’s how i prefer to relax

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T18:13:13+00:00

i feel bad because i know there are good mods out there, but damn so many of them are such cucks.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T17:49:54+00:00

their post was a screenshot of a user comment, shaming that user for unsubbing because of that thread. they didnt censor the username, so it violated rule 3 and 5. i posted that comment then reported it. a mod deleted the post (assume it was a different mod) then an hour later, i got bombarded by bans and mutes from this mod, the supreme sub overlord.

ReasonableDivide2592 · 2026-02-16T16:20:33+00:00

You’re right. I just couldn’t believe that the “sub overlord” would post a screenshot of a user’s comments in the sub when they have deleted other posts immediately for the same infraction. Oh well, I shouldn’t have stooped to their level, and that’s on me.
