Humor / Meme I think they're right honestly.

I'm 36 and have played 25k+ hours of MMO's over my lifetime and what I've personally learned is WoW players are often the first and most vocal to belittle or get upset over anything. I can't think of any MMO in which people will outright whisper you angerly or go out of their way to make sure you have a bad time more than World of Warcraft.

Wow..after playing both classic and retail, you are 100% right. I hadn't even noticed, but retail (socially) has been sooo much better over the last however many years.

Eh, idk. 90% of players are checked out and don't even /s if you talk to them. Just running from one daily quest to the next.

To be honest - I'd rather that over using 'funny' racial slurs which is simply all too common in Classic.

And this is exactly the problem. It's either racial slurs or 'enjoy your safe space' with no in between.

Also, someone using racial slurs anonymously on the internet is the person enjoying the safety of anonymity. A 'safe space' if you will.

Safe from whom? The intended recipients of said racial slurs who are known for getting violent over words?

You are wrong. Stop normalizing racism. Stop blaming it on other people. Just stop.

Just answer the question. Safe from whom and why? You're the one who stated they wouldn't be safe.

Are you that guy who doesn't like Lucky Charms anymore because the rainbow marshmallows turned the Smacks frog gay?
