@Dooze783@damoosmann@FwoiblesWoW@Warcraft No. Pedobear was a 4chan meme from the mid-2000s used for dark satire and to mock or flag sketchy content involving minors. A 2010 phone wallpaper of it was standard edgy internet humor of that era, not a literal admission of watching CP.
@iRedman__ Realistically they’ll just do nothing and asmon and his roach army will lose attention within a month or two. Blizzard doing anything actionable will lose them money either way.

@Tonytwotiem@Seaabastian By “drive the conversation” you mean threatening violence against his family and children, as that’s the reason for his departure. Imagine thinking this is an epic win for the right. All it will lead to is less correspondence from the devs and way, WAY more moderation.
@BishopWeyl@FwoiblesWoW “Tom deletes twitter acc after getting harassed and his and his family’s life threatened by the hyper violent and unhinged alt-right bot army” fixed your tweet for you
@Ulyanyx@tomkektv Pedo bear was a silly meme in the 2010s. If you think someone that had that as a background 16 years ago is “literally admitting” to watching CP, you’re a moron.
@VCrosoft@Orange_Sealion Notice how Tom didn’t even provide examples of banned names. The folks with names like “kill {minority}” knew the post was about them and it clearly struck a nail.
Blizzard has always enforced name bans. Having a name tied to it just gave the unhinged alt right army a target.
@HelloImDr3w Posting anything with your name attached to it is unfortunately a horrible idea these days. The far right is far too violent and unpredictable.
Him saying to “be better humans” really struck a nail with the worst humans imaginable.
@DemieTournes The only lesson learned is to not post correspondence from personal accounts, as the violent and unhinged right will harass and threaten your friends, family, and children.
