yes because the brand name is "her universe" its just too political, don't need it in gaming gear, its just like "I'm with her" "its her time" "Metoo" etc, its a divisive name
generally speaking when I see crap like this, I automatically think 3rd wave feminist
But it's a clothing line? That's liek calling barbie doll politcal
how did you get that I meant male discrimination out of me saying it was fair and balanced?
Do i think people trying ANY angle they can to make a buck are bad people,nope just using their brains to get ahead in this world.
However Why Blizzard would get involved with this is just crazy.So my assumption is being that BOTH parties will try and prophet from one item,the prices will be ridiculous.
My ears still ring from that very old ,i think was Cathy Lee Gifford or was someone in that same era was selling a kids clothing line but was made by sweat shops over seas.When it was uncovered,she said she had no idea...sigh.
Yep my memory not as bad as i thought,did a little google and..

So i would be VERY concerned that Blizzard jumping on this along with at least one other party is going to force the prices way over the top unless.....
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
and we have seen that as well, isn't it time for a fat barbie, a barbie of this color or that color
Apparently she is quite popular back in the day,a voice actor in movies and a lot more.
There are several subsidiaries in this corporation and some stuff that does not add up.
My hunch is that this is not a business on the up n up but sooo frigging big,a lot can get swept under the carpet.
This corporation has gone around securing partnerships for every last brand you can think of from movies,to music,to well pretty much EVERYTHING.Sounds like a monopoly does it not?I mean if one entity goes around locking up every last notable brand,where is the competition act now?
Then HT holdings,be it a so called indirect parent company or a subsidiary ,who really know,was given a downgrade over all of 2017..go figure.
So this is giving me bad vibes going back to the Cathy Gifford ordeal.I mean Cathy and Frank would chastise and call out anyone who would try and taint their name.Cathy would go so far as to be an advocate against sweat shops,so when the truth came about her operation,i am sure it made a lot of people look foolish,who would likely standup and defend her at the time.
Last comment,brings back something an old passed away boss said to me.He said Bobby ,you'll never make it big in this world because your too honest,you only get ahead in this world by being dishonest.We have seen this to be true oh so often.

No because no one wants to be fat. And if they wanted to make a black barbie they'd just make a new character instead of changing an existing one.
Bartoni's Law definition: As an Internet discussion grows volatile, the probability of a comparison involving Donald Trump approaches 1.
You know what I would love to see is full sets of cosplay gear on the Blizzard shop for sale
No they have pretty much tried to monopolize the ENTIRE industry of clothing utilizing known name brands from ALL entities.Matter of fact,i can't think of a single market this massive business has not covered by now.Obviously being around since 1988 they have had a lot of time to cover everything from Marvel to all movies,games,music,musicians etc etc.
I do not think this was a coincidence,i think was a case of the marketing team reaching out one way or another.
Point being,i don't think we should be creating threads supporting...endorsing maybe the biggest operation/monopoly in this business.
Her Universe is only one portion of this giant corporation.My point is we SHOULD be trying to endorse a FAIR marketplace,let's give all businesses a CHANCE and not just jump in with the biggest one out there.

What? I didnt know i wear women clothes...
"diablo go away" and "Diablo 4 never comes"....
LOLZ
I forgot to put the /s. My bad! XD The A-RPG genre is in a great place.
not sure why there is controversy on this post.....businesses have been catering to certain demographics since the beginning of businesses.
mmorpg junkie since 1999
what a little whiney bitch you are.
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
For example, I have no plans on buying a console, thus any Red Dead Redemption threads are a novelty I might watch, but I generally ignore. Same thing with Diablo mobile. Same thing with this article.
The only reason I clicked on it was because it is at odds with the site's usual subjects. I even find the hardware articles somewhat off topic and these at least are a necessity for gaming.
Now I wonder how big is the market for out of game merchandise. Like for example, statuettes, clothes etc.
