It’s just hard to not engage sometimes, although I agree with you completely. Mostly, I’d like people to try and understand that if you’re trying to be mentally positive it’s impossible when the people around you don’t give a fuck. I just want to play. It is not a life or death situation, I won’t leave however fucking bad you think it gets, and if I embrace your moaning about any of this the real efforts I’ve made to try and remain positive will end up being for nothing.

The issue is that I know full well just what I’m capable of and would just like the chance to do so without being judged or a fight breaking out. So, when you tell me how unfair it is you can’t get to do X, Y or Z or that I shouldn’t feel jealous because I can’t do what I’d like? That isn’t the problem here. I’m not hiding in Azeroth, however, and that’s a significant step forward.
This wouldn’t be a suitable subject for a Warcaft blog post either, were it not for the fact the game is acting as a much needed escape from the stresses of the real world. I’m not sure why, but honestly, these are only pixels. What has become apparent in the last week is that, for whatever reason, tolerance seems to be at an all-time low. Maybe this is a reflection of world events, perhaps it is just that for some it is only now that their true natures are being highlighted. Over the years I’ve worked quite hard to communicate with the people around me, hoping that this would foster an environment of mutual understanding. I’ve already made this point in the week, but today I wanted to reiterate a disturbing trend I’ve seen amongst players in my sphere. Some thoughts should stay in your head and never see the light of day. Mostly, as I grow tired of telling my kids, it is best never to say the thing in the first place. Once they’re out there, the capacity to retract is pretty small.
It happens. However, what is most often the case is that you just open your mouth and say summat before thinking through the ramifications of the words. Everybody, regardless of who they are and what they do, has the capacity to be toxic. Maybe you didn’t have enough coffee before opening Twitter, perhaps the joke someone else made you didn’t get, or maybe that tweet simply got misunderstood. What this also serves to highlight is even the most ‘sensible’ of people can, at any point, hurl common sense and humanity out of the window before chucking the mother of all hissy fits. I hate to break it to you kids but, like it or not, this guy is an intractable part of your game’s history. This announcement got met with more joy and anger combined than I can recall from any previous year: what surprised me the most were those who felt that Yankovic isn’t ‘representative’ of the Blizzcon ideal for a closing act. It is probably the ultimate irony that in a week that has seen more weirdness in social media circles than I can ever remember, Blizzcon secures the bloke who was born on the same day as me (seven years earlier) to front the closing concert on November 5th.
