Activision Blizzard has recently been caught in a storm of public opinion, and now Blizzard's games are careful to avoid sensitive content and strive to cater to the public. But recently, a Discord server of an unofficial community committee of World of Warcraft has exploded again, and many people are complaining that Blizzard has turned World of Warcraft NPCs into people of color, and some people say that "there are too many black people in Stormwind City".
In November, Blizzard created a community committee with the right to communicate with designers and give direct feedback to players. The community has since spun off an unofficial Discord server, called Seat of the Council, which also regularly discusses game improvements. But a recent discussion about "Stormwind City has too many blacks" has sparked controversy, with mixed opinions on whether Warcraft should join the BIPOC (Black, Native, and People of Color) NPC.
Many have noticed that Blizzard is making diversification improvements. From 2020 onwards, white characters have changed their skin tones, with more people of color added in September this year. This deliberate and obvious "whitewashing" change has sparked heated discussion among players. Some users believe that there are too many black people in the game now, and dissenters start attacking, which eventually leads to the discord channel being banned and all records being emptied. Later, they re-created the community on another server, but the debate continued.
Much of the controversy was provoked by a user named Asjon, who was considered a phisher. His views include Blizzard deliberately blackening or blackening the faces of some white NPCs, and the diversity and inclusiveness of NPCs is just a lazy pandering act, Blizzard does not explain the origin of these special NPCs in a traditional fantasy work, and why those transgender groups exist.
While Asjon is suspected of deliberately manipulating racial issues, his views are not entirely unreasonable, after all, Blizzard is only right for the sake of being right. They didn't write the relevant stories or give explanations. However, many people said that the color of the skin did not need to be explained, and the blacks were tired of justification, so they did not have to provide any background or reasoning to explain why the blacks came to Stormwind City. If you really want to say why, it's very simple, just like the real population migration.
