WOW! Insanely powerful speech by Superintendent of @CobbSchools speaking against p**nogr*phic books in schools.
“Anyone working in education who knowingly provides students with access to s*xually explicit material, should not be in a position of educating other parents' children."
"This situation is about right and wrong, good and evil. The s*xualization of children can never be allowed. There is no middle ground. You are either in favor of providing inappropriate material to children, or you are against it. I assure you, l am against it, and I will not be moved.”
Thank you Chris Ragsdale for protecting children in Cobb County Schools! 👏
We need to clone him for every district in the country!
They are only good at destroying things and wonder why they never enjoy the same success.
So they just latch on to the the thing that gamers want.
Then they just destroy it with their own fan-fic and "improvements."
You see in movie IPs, game IPs, and entire industries. They never cared when 'computers' and 'games' where niche 'lol geeks' things. Now they pretend they are the cool ones.
You can see it happening now. WoW Forever is in the fight of it's life. Would like to see that team hold fast, win big, stay pure.
It feels like some of nu-Blizzard is trying to drag WoW Forever down.
Maybe because it's the most successful beta they have ever had in WOW history.
Pretty ugly to see that kind of jealousy. Don't let them destroy a good thing like they destroyed Blizzard before.
What they are trying to do is what they always tried to do, either drag it down (chud game!) or insert themselves into the project to infect it, control it and make it suck again.
I helped write the original naming policy for OG wow.
This is not the way.
Don’t ban. Force name change is what we did.
Don’t ban for names people made in a database but never played or was never reported. Thats some pre-cog sci-fi bs.
Enforce the no politics or famous figure rules equally.
First L for WoW forever.
Lighten up a little, it’s just a game.

@FwoiblesWoW Other people have posted this.
I don't care.
Either respond to why they weren't banned or be seen as the coward you currently appear to be.
You don't get to talk about "being a better human" when these just "happened to squeak by" your ideologically compromised review team.
I'm seeing a lot of discourse about who WoW Forever is being made for and while I cannot speak for anyone else on the team I can speak for myself. I am making WoW forever for the classic gamer and for the millions of people who have had their accounts lapse over the years because they were not satisfied with changes that were made to the game. Whether those changes were to the art style, the story, social aspects, game design, or changes to their favorite class.
I did not spend the last year of my life relearning and mastering how to do things like we did it 20+ years ago for retail players. I could have taken it easy and just kept doing things like I had done for the past 8 years on retail...because I was much more familiar with it and it actually takes a lot less time to do (height maps on textures do a ton of heavy lifting). Because the reality is that the majority of retail players wouldn't care and would probably actually prefer it. But I felt I had a duty to uphold an artistic vision and integrity that millions of people expect from us. But not just for our players, but for my co-workers past and present who worked on it over 20 years ago. If I could not create something that resembled their work then I failed not only them...but myself.
Please do not take this as me throwing any shade at retail players or the retail team because I am one myself...but I wanted to make Forever as authentic of a Vanilla experience as possible. This involves making decisions wildly different than retail. It means holding the line against changes that create a domino affect down the road. It means keeping friction and inconveniences in the game. It means finding friends and forming groups with strangers and being social!! Because WoWs social aspects have always been the pillar of the game and over the years it has slowly been chiseled away at with changes that allow you play alone.
Since the day I started working on the Riverglades I have lived by three sayings.
"Convenience is the death of the journey."
"If you're making a game for everyone then you're making it for no one."
"Every change we make incurs a debt to the authenticity of the game and sooner or later that debt will be paid."
These are my core beliefs and I had a specific group of people I was targeting with my work. These beliefs cannot be shaken and I will try to hold the line against anything that goes against them and will continue to pester the team about things that feel out of place.
That being said, my hope is that Forever will pull in as many people as possible, whether you are a retail gamer, a classic gamer, someone who hasn't played in years, or even a new player. I hope you can all remember what made this game so special in the first place and that starts with understanding why we are so passionate about keeping it authentic.
When a woman strangled three children to death, you described her as “normal” and “loving” and excused the murders because she was supposedly depressed. Now you’re pretending to be upset about a man allegedly grabbing a woman by the throat, even though he was never convicted of any crime and you’re getting all of this from hostile journalists with a very obvious axe to grind. Sorry but we aren’t going to let you move right from excusing the strangulation murder of three children to pretending to care about domestic violence. You’re a huge apologist for domestic violence. On the record. We won’t let any of you people ever forget that. Your credibility is done forever. Might as well just log off at this point. None of you will ever live this down.
You idiots don’t get to preach about “empathy” anymore. Empathy should have had you screaming for justice for the three children Clancy strangled. But you didn’t care about those kids. You have no empathy. And definitely don’t pretend to give a shit about domestic violence. You already chose to overlook one of the most barbaric cases of domestic violence we’ve ever seen. Best thing you can do now is shut your mouth and go away. None of you have any credibility.
We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

I hate that I have to do this, it’s my least favorite part about my life. I knew my life would get even more dangerous when I announced I am suing California and began accepting invitations to speak on college campuses this semester.
I need to raise money again for security. Doing the right thing and exposing evil now puts your life in danger in today’s society. For example, a UC Irvine “lecturer” (teacher) is insinuating it would be funny to assassinate me and leftist are threatening to kill me constantly.
I will not cower to the radicals or the far left who threaten and plot to kill and destroy our country, yet the $30k–$50k a month it costs me just to stay safe doing my job is unsustainable. I make enough for my needs and my employees, but this added expense produces no return and is unsustainable on my own.
