Gamers Upset at Blizzcon's Slur-Ridden Speech

[Gloomsta]

Then why bother with the vocals? They sound horrendous and actively detract from any sort of structure the rest of the instruments might have constructed.

Because the vocals are awesome.

You cant prove me objectively wrong.

like I wouldn't call a painter a drawer.

That is an awful thing to say. Just as bad as to imply that pop song writers are worse than composers, when in truth their equal, A lot of Mozarts work bores me in comparison to Depeche Mode.

Painting is NOT the highest form of art, people who put painting on a pedestal are compleatly clueless about the arts.

I've seen the structure of death metal, and it made me want to eat my hands out of irritation. It sounds awful, the structure makes no damn sense,

A case of 2deep4u.

Calling it awful doesnt make what you say valid though.

Honestly...I've been on a few death metal videos, and the comments are 99% "metal is the only real music" or those really, really idiotic "you say Justin Bieber, I say (obscure metal band)", then add 96% of teens have turned to pop and rap, if you're one of the 4% that still listen to real music, copy this.

Taking youtube seriously? Are you kidding?

Also those retarded comments only take place on more mainstream metal bands, ive never seen such stuff go around on Old School Death Metal videos.

Point #1, I cite absence of evidence and evidence of absence in this case.

#2 Who the hell are you to decide if people are clueless about the arts just because they prefer paintings?

#3 Too deep for me? Are you serious? No. It's not too deep for me. It's just terribly structured. If you don't build your shit to code, it might be unique and 'too deep for me', but it's still gonna collapse, and it's still gonna be your own damn fault!

What do you expect from a shitty death metal band? Was anyone expecting anything different from a guy, who does lead vocals for a band called "Cannibal Corpse"? Seriously...

 

[Char-Nobyl]

Erm...but he just used the word '******.' He wasn't deriding homosexuals; he used it as a general insult, which is how a lot of people use it. It isn't solidified in our culture like '******' and whatnot are, where it's unquestionable that it's against a specific demographic.

I'll concede that it wasn't a great choice of words, but come on. The guy's not reading off a script. He's just recording a video for Blizzcon, having a good time, and rattling off whatever comes to mind. Do lynch mob organizers grin while they rant? He's making an exaggerated rant about an equally exaggerated sentiment held within the WoW community.

If people are actually resorting to physical violence over this, or translating a tongue-in-cheek rivalry into outright bigotry, that's because they're retards. They're the sort of people who think that The Chappelle Show is a documentary. The Beatles weren't put on trial alongside Charles Manson, nor was J.D. Salinger prosecuted for conspiring to cause the death of John Lennon.

Then you fit into the minority of death metal fans. Unless you're American. Then you'll notice I said 'Fat, greasy OR American'. Though often all three. And, I also said 'most', so how about you take your easily-offended ass off the Internet before some other guy makes a sweeping generalisation that not only do you try incredibly hard to be included in, you also insist you're not?

I'm fat (not obese), American, and a Death metal fan. But I'm not greasy, I'm quite picky about my hygiene. So....Hurray for completely inaccurate generalizations? Also, don't be an arse. It's a good way to be told not to post here by mods.

OT: 1:I thought Cannibal Corpse was grindcore. 2: They're a terrible band. 3: Does anyone honestly take the trash talk of a WoW player seriously? I mean no offense to the LGBT community, but being called a "cock sucking fag who likes it in the butt because he is gay", just comes with the territory. Honestly it shouldn't, but these aren't things they'll say to your face so it's hardly heart filled hate speech. Lighten up.
As for the Blizzard community.... Well, in my opinion Blizz-con shouldn't even be a thing.

Erm...but he just used the word '******.' He wasn't deriding homosexuals; he used it as a general insult, which is how a lot of people use it.

Get an education, seriously.

A ****** is a bundle of sticks. He was merely calling them tinder before the great flame

Okay. For the third time. I said OR. Fat. OR greasy. OR American. And you're American, so you fit. My 'sweeping' generalisation seems to be very accurate.

Also, a ****** is a kind of meatball, too.

"Concluding the awkward but appreciated apology to the gay community, the presentation turned to the integration of Diablo III into Battle.net. Acknowledging the outcry from the gaming community over the required internet connect for even single-player games, the Blizzard representative showcased the intuitive registration process, proclaiming that it was "so easy a Chinaman could do it!""

 

[Uncreation]

Ofensive to gays? What about night elves and gnomes? Will no one think of the gnomes?

Srsly though, i remember watching that video about 3 to 4 years ago (an almost falling out of my chair laughing about it). How is this news now? Besides, i think people are just being over sensitive again. To me the vid is hillarious, and the insults are not directed at gays or anything. And the way the guy got so overexcited was too funny, but that's George Fisher for you. I am not a big fan of his music (i prefer other genres of metal to death metal) the guy is pretty awesome.

cry more.. my god people get butthurt about everything anymore

Gasp! Such a brilliant rebuttal! You dispatched all of my points with such clarity and decisiveness! How can I respond to such a well-versed-

Oh, wait. You just shrieked an insult at the opening sentence and called it a day. Nevermind. I mistook you for someone with an argument/opinion/something worthwhile to offer. Won't happen again.

 

[PinochetIsMyBro]

Someone who's politically correct. Someone with the middle name Corpsegrinder."

Pick one. I can only imagine the headlines if they took the time to get his response to the outcry.

Newsflash: Some people aren't going to be browbeaten into toning down their language just because you're 'offended.' Grow a pair.
