World of Warcraft is getting a facelift — and yesterday, Blizzard unveiled the new models for human males. The update was met with a lot of playful snark, as folks dissected the goofier elements of the new models.
You’ll notice that most reactions around the web focus on three things: the nipples (see the model on the far right in the image above for reference), the crotch area, and other characters/people that kind of look like the new models.
For reference, here’s the other image that people reacted to yesterday:
And here’s what the internet has to say:

From Blizzard’s announcement on Facebook:
Way to nipple shame, guys. 🙁
Having thought about the new male human model for a while now, I have come to a conclusion. Warlords better add skimpy clothes for males.

And at least one person tried to “fix” the model:
People care about thigh gaps, apparently!

hahaha the best is the damn raid markers over his nips… i can’t stop laughing >< I always call them “nipple” when I’m raiding anyway for the last few years. LOL
“Yes it’s true … this man has no dick”
If they were women, I’m sure nobody would have a problem.
Although that would double the budget to animate them.
If they were women we’d not be seeing the nipples, so it’s rather a moot point.
To get super pedantic, unless you’ve got some bizarre fetish model, you don’t need to rig nipples for animation.
Especially considering they’re gonna spend the majority of the time wearing a fridge.
Blizzard: Milking your nipples since 2004.
Rubbish. Everyone knows you can’t get men wrong. Any representation is a perfect and respectable depiction. Especially if they have a fetish for war, violence and saying “When we get back, the drinks are on me.”
What are your thoughts on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbAhTtRN1Hs . It is a Dynasty add on for WoW
