It's easy to brush off any feminist or politically correct ideas as nutty, pointless, crying, whining
To hear complaints and do nothing, shrug your shoulders, wave it off
To hear your worldview challenged and disregard it as nonsense
To be told that you're wrong and just not care to listen
Those things are easy. It's what most people do. It doesn't require thought.
What takes courage is to look at yourself critically, your thoughts, your actions, and consider that maybe they were wrong
To openly admit that you made a mistake, you did something inappropriate
This is difficult. Most people can't do this.
Blizzard can, and did. I applaud them for it.
Objectifying women actually is a bad thing. For men and women both. It's a complex issue but it's something that people need to talk about.

That is definitely more butt than you would expect to see on someone wearing clothes. It looks more like she's wearing yellow paint on her skin than pants.
