How Blizzard decides to be everyone's overprotective adoptive mum!
What's this? A post?!?
Well, when a big company with a long history of quality games does such a massive own goal; censoring a game based on a single post from a "father" about
protecting his daughter and not sexualising a spunky character.... I have to chime in. :3
Yes, I couldn't help myself... a bit late to the party but it still happened quite recently... sooo on with the show!

So... apparently an ass on a 'non-sexualised' character is now an issue... great. And what's worse? The post that led to all of this? Some asshole "parent" claiming that his/her 4 year old should be able to look up to tracer or some similar bullshit.
Wait, what?

| I wonder what else this parent needs help with... |
A four year girl might look up to tracer? A video game character? A PLAYABLE character? And the only way to protect your daughter is to remove a fairly tame pose?
Are you retarded? I think this guy is retarded...
Ok, the following applies:
- Blizzard should not be responsible for what your 4 year old gets to experience, that's your job. If mildly sexual female character pose is an issue, she doesn't get to see it. (should be) End of story!
- Seeing a character do a slightly sexualised pose is going to damage your daughter? Really? Is the retardation you have genetic?
- Sex is not bad... you should know this, it likely generated this daughter (assuming this isn't all just a fucking troll or scam); even if you can argue that Tracer is generally a non-sexualised character... that doesn't mean she's fucking gender neutral!
- Perhaps most importantly, there has been no link made between the behavior of a character in a video game and the behavior of someone in real life. The best I've read suggests that playing a video game may make you more aggressive and hyped up, but actually less likely to commit a violent act. That's it. So your suggestion that a video game character could do some harm to your daughter has nothing to back it up.
- Finally... In this game you can play as Tracer... against Tracer. Think about that for a second... your impressionable daughter, could watch you playing as Tracer, murdering Tracer... if your daughter's head is as soft as your own, that would fuck her up for YEARS!

I did a tiny amount of interwebs sleuthing, and had a look at this morons post history; 66 posts (of which, for some reason I could only sample 15), only 1 was not about female characters in the game.
That's right, being fair that's 14/15 posts on SJW bullshit; 93%. What's even more interesting? The oldest post in his history is in fact.... the post that started all of this off. Also, no posts since the announcement of the censorship (29/04/2016); almost a week of possible great Beta feedback this concerned poster claiming to have the future of the game in mind simply missing! Suspicious but not clear evidence of anything... Below is the last post shown in "Fipps" post history as of 05/04/2016. And yes, it is "the post".

Yes, I went to the 'trouble' of screen shotting. Thank me later. :D
Anyway, ParentDouchbag is really a side issue, the primary issue is how quickly Blizzard caved to the SJW, and then suddenly grew a backbone when the now easily predictable backlash hit them. It's almost as if the SJW infestation has hit some critical mass where the big game companies themselves have so many, that they themselves are practically chomping at the bit to change this or remove that... very sad.
Well, this little black duck isn't going to buy this game. I mean, up to now I was only peripherally interested anyway... Another 3rd person MOBA? Doesn't blizzard already have a MOBA? And a card game? And WoW-crack? and Diablo 3? Yeah no.
How many games can they make? And do they have enough censors for them all?!?
Only time will tell...
...it's interesting you know? Recently I came across a post on the toilet of the internet... 4chan. It suggested that some software companies that have drunk the cool aid have, over time, hired so many via quotas and such that these relatively unskilled and often politically motivated SJW types chase out the established and experienced white males that once dominated... then these companies die from simply no longer being able to perform at the same level...

Now, this is only a conspiracy theory from 4chan.... but people from 4chan once took a huge crap on the bloody stupid religion of Scientology, people from 4chan have done amazing interweb detective work... and rule 34. Sometimes 4chan is right on the money... (and the toilet thing was a joke... honest... DON'T HURT ME 4CHAN!)
Once I would have dismissed such a theory, but look at some of the companies that have embraced SJW philosophy? In particular the developers of Mass Effect and Dragon Age; Bioware. They've gone down hill in a big way in just the time it took to make those game series... and rumors abound following recent departures that the company may be gone before the end of the year, even Mass Effect Andromeda may not come out!
This might be Blizzard's future, petering out and disappearing as the company collapses in on itself under the weight of talentless quota hires, ridiculous shoe-horning of SJW ideas, censorship, etc.
Worst of all? Part of me wants it to happen... I want to watch them burn their own house to the ground and wonder why it's suddenly very drafty and cold.

We will have to wait and see.
