Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding the closing night performance at BlizzCon. While we had some other messaging worked up we were going to post, the members of band wanted to instead address it themselves:Hey guys, we read and heard all the feedback from BlizzCon this year. The Corpsegrinder bit was never intended to be taken seriously. We are sorry that we offended anyone; everything at our shows is just meant in fun. Thank you all for speaking up. We’ll definitely keep this in mind for future shows.
Our humblest apologies,
Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain
And with that here comes the R&P debate, that doesn't belong on a gaming site.

George Fisher doesn't actually believe that Alliance players are "gay" any more than he wants to actually "Shatter Their Bones" or have them "Skewered from Ear to Eye" (those are just two song titles off of one of the latest albums).

Ohhh yes, we cannot disagree with people's views anymore and get away with it. You know what, I am a Christian, we get bashed a lot as well. Yup, but I would not call it hate speech. For example, if someone kills a christian, they should be charged for murder. We start adding all this other bs to the mix and you will see homosexuals getting locked up for speaking their mind against Christians. I am not for hate speech regulation because guess who defines what hate speech is? You guessed it...the government and states...What exactly is hate speech? The bible and nature says homosexuality is wrong...Does that mean I cannot believe and have religious freedoms any longer? I am all for everyone being able to speak their mind. That includes the Christian, the muslim, etc...
Yes, and they did not complain about Cannibal Corpse, they complained about what Fisher said at the event. He did not sing a Cannibal Corpse song. He did not discuss necrophilia or rape. But he called people a lot of homophobic slurs.

Of everything that Cannibal Corpse sings about, it's the "anti-gay slurs" from an interview about a video game that people think steps over the line? Not the necrophilia, rape, and mass murder?
Cannibal Corpse has around 150 studio tracks. Every single one of them is about killing people.
