Racist arena names in World of Warcraft? |
Listed in: Titles, Off Topic Tags: Blizzard, Nethaera
Ó
A poster named Mallory on the WoW Forums recently complained about racist names in World of Warcraft Arena teams. Mallory cited the Kool Kids Klub as an example of the racism that is occurring in the game. This is a very sensitive subject for a lot of people, but I'd have to agree with the posters that the intent of the organization must first be taken into account before any action should be taken.
Blizzard Poster/ Forum Moderator Nethaera spoke on this saying "Please feel free to report inappropriate arena names that you may find the same as you would inappropriate names in game. The GM department will look into it and take all necessary action." While Mallory was met with a lot of hostility for the complaint, the WoW player could very well be raising a valid point here. If the organization meant any offense with their name, then it really must be looked into.
That said, my personal opinion on this is shared by another poster Weep who noted that "what isn't clear is why you decided to label these people before you ever got your 'clarification'." Be sure to keep checking back here for more of the latest news on World of Warcraft.

Just because KKK meant something awful for a brief period of time (in the millions of years the earth has been around) should it be taboo forever? People still name their kids Hitler, Sadaam, etc. If all words associated with hate crimes, criminal activities, catastrophes were banned.. we'd have no names left after all the murderers and hurricanes and hate groups were weeded out.

people should be able to name whatever they want, I can understand blocking a User named ***** Killer or something Equally Racist and Dergitory. but just because the organization is known for racist or sexist beliefs doesnt mean you can be against a name. its a name, Lighten Up.
