It's not about analogy, it's about "representation"
It's all about gathering good boy points. The target audience does not matter. What matters is that game journo outlets and reddit threats can go "WoW Included a non-leg-usable-person" in their game and as such all the cripples and retards can feel represented.
I wish I was missing my fucking legs so I could tell all these people to fuck off

I never cared for Khadgar. He insists upon himself.

>>714720178 (OP)
>>714720482
In a world with healing magic and healing potions available at every street corner, there's no reason the most renowned mage alive would stay injured. Much more believable to say he's just "aura farming", as kids say. He can walk just fine but is showing off by beating people without even lifting his ass off the chair. Instead he's lifting the chair.
Is that what the writer intended? Doesn't matter, that's the only way to read this while sustaining suspension of disbelief in the world.

Why the fuck would you create a floating arcane wheel chair? Why not just use a normal wheelchair and enchant it? Why not give yourself legbraces and use the same magic to merely levitate yourself around?

>>714720178 (OP)
Why does a flying chair need wheels?

>>714720178 (OP)
behold, your archmage in a setting where half the mages casually levitate a couple inches off the ground

This was their way of "claiming" Khadgar. Of making him "theirs."
Love him or hate him, Khadgar was one of lthe last heroic, capable, strong male characters in the franchise.
>lost to a woman
>permanently crippled
>sidekick to other women
He's now been emasulated and reshaped into the modern developer/writer's vision.

It's a process. Any powerful man must either die, by brought to his knees, or turned gay like Anduin and Shaw.
The solution? Simple. Walk away, wallet intact.

Why did they make it look one of those inflatable furniture chairs from the 90s?

He isn’t the one making the chair fly. Modera made it for him, it’s a magical chair. He is extremely weak and has some health repercussions after literally transmuting himself into raw arcane energy. He may be able to walk and stand but not for very long.

>>714722967
what, you think your money isn't gonna be funding retail's humiliation rituals plus the dev's HRT just because you're playing classic? play on private servers, faggot retard

>>714720178 (OP)
if he can manifest thus, why no manifest leg bionics?

People here always bring up healing magic but ignore how the lore portrayal is very different from gameplay. In the novels for example even full fledged priestesses of Elune need to pray over the wounded for lengthy periods of time for any healing to take effect.

>>714720482

That's not relatable to actual disabled people.

>>714724221
How is Khadgar supposed to be relatable in any way? Even if I'm disabled, I'm still not one of the strongest mages in existence.

Honestly it's hilarious in a stupid sort of way, I would use it ironically

>>714724221

>>714722967
They went through and discretely edited some quest dialogue. Took away any derogatory mention of women.
And they added a warlock quest at 20 alongside your succubus quest to go interact with gay couples to get a faggot twink incubus summon.
To that same end, the tailoring trainer in Orgrimmar has been retconned as gay. The two night elves at the house near the border of Darkshore and Ashenvale are now gay. And they changed the guy you need to kill near the Thandol Span for your undead Succubus quest to a woman so that she can be gay too.
But the lazy asses didn't change the quest text so the woman is still referred to as a guy.

That's all I personally found so far.

>>714720482
Why don't right wingers know White Mythology? Pic is obviously a reference to Hephaestus. Warcraft was initially based on Warhammer, but it also has references to Germanic and Greek mythology

>>714724807
I dunno, same way most writers say they don't use non-human protagonists because humans are more relatable, even when the human does absolute bullshit unbelievable stuff I guess.

>>714724221
Actual disabled representation needs it to be at least modestly inconvenient. eg Elric of Melnibone getting deathly ill without his medicine/or feeding a yummy soul to his runesword or Edward Elric having his prosthetics hurt and break frequently.

>>714723476
I would understand if it was some random schmuck peon, but, we're talking about motherfucking Kadghar here.

>Well intentioned
Disagree.
I would surmise not a single thing modern Blizzard does is "well intentioned."
They are driven by spite and a lust to claim the game for themselves over the evil white men that made it so popular to begin with.
Making character retroactively gay, spitting on Warcraft 3 characters, and emsculating every man while propping up every woman is not "well intentioned."
Just like those tweets telling all of their male players to "leave WoW" and that they're "not wanted here" weren't well intentioned.
The intentions are very, very clear if you're being honest about the IP and the ones running it and writing for it.

>>714725467

I meant on behalf of the developers perspective. I can't imagine any focus group consultants seriously making a success pitch for shit like this. I can only imagine that if I was stuck in a chair, I wouldn't want to be reminded of it in a escape from reality intended to be fun

>>714726269
They do, because they can not mentally envision the apple.
The only connection they can have are thing being "literally me."

There's a very real and very fascinating new trend of people being unable and unwilling to read books written in 3rd person.
They are quite literally unable to relate to or even understand anything that doesn't start with "I"

>>714726395
too bad
the purple wheelchair will give the hong kong denying china dick sucking rapist breastmilk stealing company good PR and you vill be happy

>>714721453
likely the devs would respond "how would you know he is crippled and not just too lazy to walk if it doesn't look like a wheelchair?"

>>714720482
They wanted to put a cripple into the game but couldn't be bothered to think even a little bit about how a cripple would look like in this fictional world so they just made him ride a floating purple wheelchair and signed off on it. They really do care so little, the people whose decision it was to put this in the game couldn't give less of a fuck about the setting, they just wanted to check off a box and doing this was the easiest way to do it.

>>714726573
>There's a very real and very fascinating new trend of people being unable and unwilling to read books written in 3rd person.
no way
you pulled that out of your ass

it doesn't even make sense
if my legs didn't work but I had the power to make a magic chair of sorts I'd make a recliner not a wheelchair where the wheels wouldn't even be functional

To people who lean left or leftists, they cannot see media beyond a critical lens. They will always be haunted with the nagging thought of "What does this represent in real life?" without any relation if it is even necessary to the work itself because to them, that is the only necessary thing. It's why most of them can't really grasp manga or even ironic posting.

>>714720178 (OP)
I've never met a disabled (unable to use arms / legs because of them being missing or nerve damage) wanting to fucking roleplay with that disability.
The fact they took effectively the strongest fucking mage in world of warcraft and made him conjure his own fucking wheelchair instead of a disc (small nod to tensors floating disc in dnd), an arcane elemental to carry him (on its shoulder or fucking princess carry him) or just god fucking forbid put him in a real wheelchair has to be the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Going this extra mile to basically put him in 'That' kids wheel chair just does so much damage to the character and the brand as a whole.

Reminder that the person who D&D said to have inspired the wheelchair bullshit wasn't even wheelchair bound himself, he was just an uppity leftie cunt complaining about how there's no visibly disabled people in the rulebook. That is how all this wheelchair shit started. From a fucking post.

>>714726269
No they want actually reasonable things in real life like ramps built in public spaces or their aid to not cost a ridiculous amount. Unfortunately like many people with a disability or disorder they fall under an umbrella that would rather use them as part of their inclusivity decoration and receive praise for it rather than actually give them assistance they want or would benefit them. It's like how right now all the high functioning autistic people are getting pissed off at fakers and self diagnosed spergs on social media right now who've been using it as a "be nice to me and love all my content or you're prejudice" card.

You guys are missing the point about Khadgar being in a wheelchair. Its a lot like movie "The Whale", where a beloved actor is brought back only to be humiliated.

Actual cripple here, you're full of shit, most if not all of this pandering is done by non-cripples. We don't give a shit about representation and actively don't want it.

>>714728001
The last time saw this fucker was in BFA, where he was going full HFY wanting to reclaim the Highlands from the Horde.

Out of all of the woke shit in WoW, the wheelchair bothers me the least mainly because the main reason he uses it is because his girlfriend made it for him. Also I think it'd be fucking hilarious if they made it a mount but they're to cowardly to do it.

>>714720178 (OP)

So wait I'm confused. What is the controversy here? Is not having functional legs woke now according to /v/? Is being a cripple woke?

>>714720178 (OP)
Of all the things they could have done, that has got to be the most lame, juvenile, cheap and pathetic. And the "actually s-someone else conjured it for him and he's using it to be nice" just makes it extra sad.
Devs so not care, but they don't need to because they have the whales to excuse everything they do (and can't be bothered to do).

>>714721276
You can still tell them to fuck off, it'll just be very slowly since they have no legs.

>>714721426
It could be a funny character if played into it humoristically, like a healer hater of such great caliber because he's that much of a mage supremacist and admitting to need their help is a moral failure for his institution, the wheelchair being an image to accentuate the absurdity of his behaviour as well as a virtue signal of his pride rather than concealing it by just casting a flight spell.

But wow writers suck ass so that's 99% chance not the case

>>714720482

I thought Final Fantasy XIV was the only game not allowed to be discussed on /v/.

>>714735121
A white man in a video game was beaten up and crippled by a woman. Now that white man is bound to an artificial means of movement. This is a leftist attack on everything that represents humanity, civilization, the white race, and the very concept of being a man. Those demons exist only to take everything we love and care about away from us and turn us into their mindless slaves before they forcibly change our genders.

>>714735658

To need to be PROUD of your genetic defects and FORCE it on others. Make every character you ever make bald, own it and make sure everyone knows that you are your baldness and that's ALL you are, it defines you. Don't let hair-havers baldshame or unbald you. Be bold, be bald, make sure everyone knows ALWAYS, especially if they don't want to and it has nothing to do with them.

Didn’t look like a modern wheelchair and seemed more normal at the time for an old orc shaman. I wouldn’t have taken issue with Khadgar either if it didn’t look like a modern wheelchair. No reason for it to look like that when it’s just a floating chair.

>hmm how can I represent a disabled person in a fantastical setting?
You don't. Fantasy settings are about fleeing reality, not bring that shit into it. And if you do it you can show some poor people/veterans of the third in Stormwind having lost their legs in wheel chairs, but not humiliate the most powerful mage in Azeroth by putting him in a purple wheelchair and giving him such a meek pose.

>>714739414

see the blizzard diversity matrix. Disability representation is on that list. One tip off is that for disability representation they tend to make it look TOO much like modern existing disabilities, even if it doesn't make sense for the setting and it looks fucking stupid and senseless here..
