It seems as part of one of the performances of whatever L##ETC is calling themselves these days(I'm just gonna call em ETC for short), they brought out the lead singer from Cannibal Corpse and he said some things that are really upsetting some folks. Mostly because members of ETC are Blizz employees, which renders their endorsement of what he said as Blizzard Endorsement in their minds.

Let me quote what the freak in the video said:
"I'm not playing man. World of warcraft is !@#$ing life for me. And I'm not playing no mother%^-*ing Alliance either. I don't play no !@#$ing Night Elves or %^-*ing gnomes. It's !@#$ing ORCS and Undead. %^-* the Alliance!! !@#$ing DIE, you %^-*ing emo *very long expletive*! Go back to your !@#$ing Alliance character and %^-*ing level him to 70. Stop going to the !@#$ing plateau ganking people! I'm trying to get MOTES OF AIR. I can't help it. When it comes to World of Warcraft, I'm a nerd. But I'm not ALLIANCE! I can tell you THAT MUCH!"

Which, tbh, sounds like something from years ago. Yet still it's blowing up the Oboards with cries of ZOMG HORDE FAVORITISM.

There have been many threads made on these forums and others about the treatment of Alliance players at Blizzcon (and to a lesser extent, in general). We've had individuals booed and jeered at publically, simply for being alliance. There have been reports of people getting insulted, taunted, spat at and even physically assaulted for wearing an Alliance shirt. When does it stop being a joke?
And that's ignoring the number of threads calling out the things said as being pretty homophobic. Which they could certainly be seen that way.
So anyone else following this? Or barring that, anyone wanna post something in one of the other threads? Because really, I'm bored. Post something.
