Reposted by VaknoshThe Real N’zoth @therealnzoth.bsky.social · 5hI’m already seeing folks talk about how much Midnight most likely didn’t involve Metzen at all. Like why does he get a pass? I’m not giving my full opinion, but if you have issues with the story this goes from the top to the bottom. Not just some people you perceive to be the issue. 56113

Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9hThat makes the most sense to me just based on what we know about how things played out previously for the WoW Team - a few insane individuals in key leadership positions being assholes and making decisions just for themselves, their employees, the customers, and the company be damned. 180
Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9hI am not perfect about this either, so this isn't me lecturing. I know I've said things just as broad before in frustration. Always good to keep in mind: your typical worker/dev probably has insane expectations placed upon them because their management or C-Suite are probably ontologically evil. 1190
Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9hI think if you're going to say something like "Retail WoW devs need to be fired," that's too broad. If you are going call for firings, it should be specific & focused on leads, supervisors, middle/upper management, etc. Leadership should, rightfully, take the hit for failures before regular workers. 1190
Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9hFiring discourse is always interesting to me because on one hand I believe that management and/or the C-Suite basically cause 90% of the problems in most workplaces, but on the other hand, I have worked with supposed professionals who were objectively incapable of the job & needed to go. 7340

Reposted by VaknoshA Random NPC @a-random-npc.bsky.social · 15hI've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times more... One of the worst things a writer can do is to make their audience feel stupid for being invested. Trust is hard to get back after it is broken and apathy is a difficult emotion to turn back into excitement and joy. 09527

Reposted by Vaknoshvrynn @vrynn.bsky.social · 18hWhere the chuds get it wrong is that WoW isn't "woke" or progressive. It doesn't believe in anything. Its politically neutral and safe which in turn just means it pushes narratives like "Colonizer and Colonized are equals" by refusing to actually take a radical stance on things. 14816
Reposted by VaknoshVaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I just think it's bad when you can make a decent argument that the current Warcraft writers appear to be more politically & ideologically incoherent and less capable of writing progressive stories than the Cosby Suite-era writers of out-of-control rockstar sex pest dudebro dads? 4689
Reposted by VaknoshVaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 07/04/2026And the real grossness of it all is that despite their "progressive" stances they'll allege to hold, there are major aspects of the story that basically read as fascistic what with the whole Make Elvenkind Great Again. 1697
Reposted by VaknoshVaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 07/04/2026At the risk of chudness: Warcraft feels like it is being written by & for Liberal (derogatory) millennials poisoned by Tumblr-era Woke 1 identity politics. That "better writing" means making it safe, soft, & inoffensive. No thoughtful critique of the past, just bury it with fluffy sickly sweetness. 1811712
