A month ago, Blizzard Entertainment released the worst cinematic in Warcraft history on YouTube. It’s an unfocused, unintelligible hot mess.
It features a female troll gyrating in a quasi-Haitian Hollywood voodoo ceremony. It also features a disabled female black orc/elf in girl boss mode donning armor. The only thing missing was a wheelchair. There is one lone male who happens to be some kind of Earthen or Dark Iron dwarf. I’m sure they’ll announce he’s gay soon. The rest of the characters are all strong, independent, bitchy females.
The horrifically bad video makes no sense. It is utterly incomprehensible. It feels more like a Diablo cinematic than one from World of Warcraft. Diablo’s cinematics are full of black people. The people in the comments section have rightly eviscerated it.
It is clear that the video was made for DEI propaganda purposes at the behest of Blizzard’s internal employee DEI advocacy group. This group was created to make sure that LGBTQ people, minorities, and woke ideology will be injected into every game that Blizzard releases.
Earlier this year, The Blaze confirmed this and reported that former Blizzard producer Mark Kern warned that Blizzard has DEI commissars on every single team at Blizzard to ensure that DEI propaganda is inserted into games like World of Warcraft:
Fandom Pulse has a terrific article about Blizzard’s DEI propaganda and reports that they are spying on their employees:
Activision then mentions they’re spying on their employees and measuring them based on their skin colors and sexualities, a major invasion of privacy that has to be unsettling for most of their labor force. “We started measuring every employee’s sense of belonging through an Inclusion Score, a quantitative measure of the extent to which employees feel welcomed, valued, and included within the organization.”
What Blizzard is doing is Orewllian and reminds us of daily life in the communist nation of North Korea.
Conclusion
Not only is this cinematic fully woke, it’s incoherent and bad storytelling. It’s a mishmash of unrelated scenes. Director of Cinematics Terran Gregory has a lot to answer for.
What bothers me the most is that Executive Creative Director Chris Metzen must of given this cinematic the green light. How on earth could he have allowed this to happen? How does he look at himself in the mirror every day? How does he live with himself knowing he’s working for a studio that has been captured by the forces of modern-day evil?
It never ceases to amaze me how people will sell their souls for money.
Any hope that the return of Chris Metzen was going to restore World of Warcraft to its former masculine balls-to-the-wall guts and glory is gone. It turns out that Metzen is no long-awaited savior. Instead, he’s a gelded false prophet who is powerless to stop the advance of cultural Marxism and wokeness in Blizzard. He should be ashamed of himself.

Retail WoW stopped being an MMORPG many years ago. Now it’s a place for furries to get in touch with their feelings.
So true!
I am late to notice this entry, I didn’t expect another/third one so soon after the others and somehow must have missed it in Feedly.
Now that trailer is as woke as it can get. Black, handicapped, blind, angry, plus savage tribal pagan dances. Now that’s exactly what D-E-I loves, even if it is really, really hard to watch and even harder to love… ugh.
Metzen went back to Blizzard when most of the old guard had jumped ship or got fired. I was in doubt if one person can change what Blizzard has become, now it has become obvious. He has less power than his political commissar.
I know about the Sword in Silithus, because I played Legion, and then I quit. Battle for Azeroth was already strange and full of D-E-I (please note I write it in this strange way for reasons you know), Shadowlands was even strange, this is now… wow, WoW is now Wokanda, really?
But see, The Acolyte failed, several super woke games failed, Concord among them, Ubisoft might have killed themselves with SW Outlaws and ironically the long-awaited Assassins game in Japan. While Helldivers took a helldive to the bottom. It is really amazing how companies kill themselves these days.
I stopped watching Season 2 of the Rings of Power after episode 2. This was a total twisting of Tolkien.Viewership fell off by 50%, but still millions continue watching it. That’s quite a feat, as this was not only twisted Tolkien but just incredibly bad.
I am lamenting the good times when I headbutted here in comments how Blizzard could do this, that, etc… at this point discussion about mechanics and MMO related theories is no longer appropriate, I just feel pity and sad, plus I wish them to burn and go out of business, before they sully the great name and memory of Blizzard even more. The current team is horrible. Yep, even the infamous B-Team compares favorably… oh my.
We see ever more great franchises ruined but also ever more failure of this nonsense. There is also a chance for recovery in all this, Grummz is fighting hard for the cause, kudos to him.
I saw the video not too long ago, it was so lame, so bad, so cheesy, I felt uncomfortable watching it. It’s unbelievable what Warcraft has stooped down to. This woke propaganda is everywhere and it’s scary. I don’t know what their aim is, but this is unappealing. If I watch it, it doesn’t make me want to play the game, it makes me not want to play the game even more. It makes me want to play on Turtle WoW (or other Vanilla-based private servers even more). I always had the same experience with commercials on TV or radio too – they try to sell me something, even as appealing as food or whatever, yet it makes me avoid the product even more.
What I find so hard to believe is how Retail WoW still has players and can justify being a subscription-based service. Who still plays it? Are people so complacent and blind and ignorant that this doesn’t bother them one bit?
The left has an unhealthy fetish for black people. They prop them up whenever and wherever they can. It’s as embarrassing as this ridiculous cinematic.
How Chris Metzen can look at himself in the mirror is beyond me. I saw a recent interview with him and he babbled on for 30 minutes saying nothing of substance. He’s a shadow of his former self. I think his wife’s political activism is a contributing factor.
There’s a suicidal self-loathing that is unique to white progressive women. White progressive women are the most dangerous people in the world because they vote for emotional reasons and end up supporting radical left-wing politicians.
I read an essay a few months ago that said that women who routinely take birth control pills have the part of the brain that gives us the feeling of fear severely reduced. Birth control is messing with your hormones and this kind of resistance to the God-given gift of fear is playing with fire. This means they are more prone to participate in risky behaviors such as having sex with multiple partners and voting for irresponsible politicians.
It is clear to me that giving women the right to vote was a terrible mistake. It will most certainly doom Western civilization. The roots of the suffrage movement are based on witchcraft, Marxism, and misandry. Most of the early feminist leaders were Jewish as well.
I bet that birth control lack of fear side effect is actually intentional. Nothing is without a price.
