[The following is a screenshot from the automated World of Warcraft forum moderation system. This post was removed due to being offensive, abusive, or in violation of the code of conduct.] This disconnect we have as a society that words don’t equal violence is bugging me and I finally had the Sunday morning coffee thoughts to put it into words why. Words can equal violence. Words can and often do: – Hurt and frighten normal, everyday people just living their lives – Become policies or laws that remove the autonomy and rights of people – Inspire someone to commit violence against perceived ‘others’ or enemies In this same vein, words also can: – Heal and unite people after national tragedies – Help strike down draconian policies (Jim Crow laws, voting rights, etc.) – Inspire people to be better versions of themselves And I’m tired of people pretending that words are spoken into some kind of shapeless void and apparently have zero bearing on viewpoints people adopt or actions they end up taking. If that’s the case, why use words at all? Do we all just aimlessly bump around regardless of words spoken into our Zeitgeist and occasionally commit violence on an unrelated whim? No. Words do matter and they can lead to violence, and I’m just done entertaining chuds who try to pretend otherwise.

Mm. Stellar. Classy, @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com.

Words do matter. They can stoke violence just as much as they can inspire unity and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Anyway, whoop — Bluesky exists again. 👋

🥲

Moar Glyphs plz. Blizzard, y'all used to offer so many cosmetic ones. Please get back to it.

I kinda miss the wrath glyph setup.

A screenshot of the same void elf but now with dramatically backlit glasses, like an anime character.

Oracle’s mandatory glowy eyes look so embarrassingly goofy on void elves that I added glasses and turned her into the cringe anime glasses character trope for a better aesthetic.

@worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com, can we please have a glyph or on-off option?

As a student of history, turns out I didn’t need to waste all that time learning German to better understand how a certain mustached man rose to power in Germany. I could have just patiently waited till I hit my 30s for the English Dub (US) release.

…Or should I say soft reboot?

An in-game screenshot with two voices, it reads: A: This place is super pretty B: now say it like you’re Johnny Bravo A: whooaa-ho-ho-ho momma A: man this place is pretteh B: fucking lmfao A: *bows* thank you thank you

A photo of an Instant Pot screen lit up that reads “Yo gt”

Hey why is my Instant Pot beeping and saying YO GOKU TIME

A photo of a skinny cat sprawled out on the concrete next to a freshly empty food bowl.

Eating after not having food for a long time is hard work and requires naps.

That man is an endless fount of comedy — or would be if people didn’t take his crap seriously.

Perfection

Feed cleanser. #cats

Has anyone read the rumored genius dissertations of RFK Jr.’s brain worm? 🪱

I bore into them recently out of curiosity but only found a lot of holes.

lol why is my most popular post #Hannigram with a snide remark at Jack Crawford

#Ironheart episode 2 proving that Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill album is still uniting different generations and communities three decades after its release.

This timeline sucks but it has its moments.

#BookSky

#AlligatorAuschwitz is a harsh reminder that we learned jack shit from history.

whoop forgot Bluesky existed again

A fanart of Hannibal 2014 with Hannibal and Will Graham making out in the foreground with a shocked, cartoony Jack Crawford in the background.

Man, this #Hannigram fanart still makes me belly laugh to this day.

Sorry, Jack. Instead of catching a serial killer, you played matchmaker. Maybe that can be your career after you sulk away in disgrace from the FBI.

Seriously. I’ve been roleplaying in WoW for 20 years and been a GM for 18 of them, so I’ve seen my fair share of this phenomenon in the past and as recently as this week.

A meme of a World of Warcraft character frantically winding up to press a comically huge red button. Top caption: POV: You’re the player who bears the burden of pressing the [Big Red Button] Bottom caption: That’s going to totally destroy RP for good this time.

If I had a nickel for every time a creep ousted from a community then immediately threatens to go nuclear and “destroy” everything with a single mystical post, I’d have a stupid amount of nickels.

Anyway, thanks for the hilariously timed meme format, Blizz.

#WorldofWarcraft #WoWRoleplay

Oh hey we’re at war with Iran

Good to know! I’m new-er to the fandom so still getting to know artists and memes.

Unsure, it’s been posting regularly on the Hannibal subreddit and it’s where I originally got it from. I appreciate you trying to source the OG artist!
