Blizzard Racist?
I think I have just about had it with Bnet. Right now just trolling through their forums I see over 15 instances of just outright vile racism. Some of these people, I have even reported several times, yet their accounts do not seem to be affected, leaving the conclusion that they could care less. Now they do have supposedly moderators on their forums, but I have yet to see them take any action what so over. Just about every single post has at least 2-3 replies that are worthless trolling. That is bad enough, but to allow people to continuously spew derogatory remarks is just plain ridiculous. Just an example, guy asks a simple question and people reply "Thats because you are a (racist term), so STFU NOOB".
It would be one thing if they had no mods at all, but they do. So then the question is this, does Blizzard tolerate or promote racism? They sure in the hell do not do any name restrictions for accounts. When I first started playing again I thought for a bit that the entire population of Nazis and KKK had bought this game. It seemed that almost every player had some offensive and derogatory message. I think they can make the excuse that the game is old and therefore its too late to put in a name restriction, but sorry to say the forums are another matter, one with no excuses.
Sorry if this is ranting, I am just fed up with Blizzard as a company, and this is the iceing on the cake. I can only begin to fathom what Asians, Jews, Hispanics, African-Americans, etc.. must think of Blizzard. I mean if I was any of those ethnicities I would surely drop Blizzard in a second, and may consider starting a boycot. Idiots exist everywhere in the world, but for Blizzard to allow this is just unexcusable. In fact, I wouldnt mind seeing the ADL or NAACP doing a boycot of Blizzard.
Thank god for diabloii.net! Comment away please
