WORLD OF WARCRAFT Players Are Calling For The Removal Of Character Named After CANNIBAL CORPSE’s CORPSEGRINDER

CANNIBAL CORPSE frontman George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher is also a big World of Warcraft fan. Game’s developer, Blizzard Entertainment, even named one of the character “Gorge The Corpsegrinder.”

But now, some fans of the game have called for the character to be removed, citing comments made by Fisher‘s famous interview in 2007, which have been accused of homophobia.

In an interview, Fisher frequently used offensive terms against homosexuals in relation to some of the game’s characters.

“So when is Blizzard going to remove Gorge the Corpsegrinder, character named after prominent Horde player who threw homophobic ableist slurs and death threats to Alliance/Night Elf players on the BlizzCon stage?”, one user writes in Twitter.

I wasn't aware of this actually.. thanks for bringing attention to it.

Whether or not his person have changed or he apologized (some say), this reminder should not be endorsed regardless.

How's this still in? It's fine to be a fan of their music music, on a personal level.

I literally didn't even know this character existed until I saw this post and I'm willing to bet the majority of wow players are the same. Yall literally just bringing attention to an issue that does not exist or have a single repercussion
