Since people seem to believe your avatar on a gaming forum is a portal to your inner psyche, I'm sure folks will assume this post is an anti-SJW rant. Nothing could be further from the truth.
OF COURSE, they make these changes if they think there is even a possibility that the old content could cause problems . . . in new OR existing markets.
OF COURSE, different countries have different censorship standards. For Christ's Sake, you can't meme in Europe without potentially being sued by the IP owner anymore (thank you Article 13). So I just know none of you complaining are doing so from the EU, because pot is definitely calling kettle black (in a non-racial allegorical way) in that case. Don't even get me started on the proposed insanity before the US House of Reps on this subject.
and . . . by the way . . . OF COURSE, you are lying to yourself if you start a post with "I don't give a damn about these changes, BUT . . . "
As the great American philosopher Jimmy Dore once said, if you include the word "but" in a sentence, you have just erased, and probably are about to actively disprove, everything that came before the word. See, for example, last Thursday's US Democratic Primary Debate ("I don't believe you are a racist, BUT . . . "). This thread is no exception.
Bottom line is this. If you are a fan of Hearthstone, and not just a fan of edgy content and defending perceived slights from PC culture (which, by the way, I don't put in quotes because it is definitely a thing), you are fine with this change. I have no idea whether these changes were necessary, but they are so completely insignificant in the grand scheme of things, of course Blizzard would take this tiny precaution.
As for commentary on one country's policies over another, let he whose country lays no bullshit on the altar of PC cast the first stone. Something tells me there won't be many rocks flying.
Is there any problem advertising a stream and/or youtube channel in signatures?
Assuming the answer to the above question is no, is there a specific problem with advertising an addiction recovery channel? Subject matter would be solidly in the PG to PG-13 area, but I realize some see it as a touchy subject.
Couldn't think of a better spot to ask this question. Thanks for your time.
One thing that drove me crazy about King Rastakhan is how the totems from his hero power are not golden.
I believe they changed this with Lei Shen, which is nice.
Also, I know a lot of you resist buying skins for skins' sake, but Magni Bronzebeard is the best skin in the game. The animation of his HP, his emotes, and his card back are all choice. Unfortunately, he doesn't come with packs, but such is the life of a non-f2per

Right on. Thank you for not being squeamish about such things.
In other news, I'm about to post a thread called "Lessons from Pathra in GM".
It is NOT in any way, shape, or form related to gender issues. It's just a discussion about tempo plays as illustrated by her week 4 games.
I know Kibler and Frodan spent ten minutes talking about how much hate she's been getting in Twitch chat. This is not that.
EDIT: In hind sight, I think I'll write it up tomorrow.
