@The13th_Ghost@AucklaBuckla That is a facebook post. In 2011 he was in QA. He didn't have a follower base that extended past his personal relationships.
@twenty_cicada@FSpoc You're right. They're not offended. But it's about holding him to the standard he set. Obviously some people are going to take it too far, but he flagged for pvp with his comments, so he shouldn't be surprised.
@robin_esque@MisterPissFist@DwarvenWigger You're right. And that is the point. He told other people being edgy to "be a better human next time." He could've simply done his job without being a condescending prick.
@AucklaBuckla Given his rhetoric in his posts around the same time, as well as his friends' reactions (assuming he is not one of the hidden names), his intent was quite obvious. The controversy is deserved and denying the obvious facts is cope.
I think we're being too rash dubbing all those who received bans as being bigoted, terrible people. While questing in the wild, a few of those with bad names were the nicest to me and we're generally cool to hang around. I'm sure there are some bigots in there, but I feel like most people were just trying to be funny, even if it was in bad taste
Hard at work "reading" through that list, I see. The implicit condescension is not a good look for a dev at the heart of widespread backlash costing @Blizzard_Ent stockholders money.
@mortar_alert@Elgen_Strawn@FwoiblesWoW I think it's more of the consistent belittling and condescension he is expressing towards his playerbase, but to each his own
@Primordialmuk@whatiseventrue_ Blacklist isn't a factor. They claimed they read everyone's names from a list and manually banned people. Surely they wouldn't lie
