    Blizzard Entertainment is know throughout the gaming industry for developing classic franchises like Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft. To celebrate their games and pay homage to the fans, Blizzard hosts an annual convention called BlizzCon. In 2010, a kid wearing a red shirt ended up becoming a BlizzCon legend after he confronted World of Warcraft developers about a lore mistake in the game. This is that story.

      I don’t care for blizzard or World of Warcraft. To be honest I just think this dude got some balls and did something badass unintentionally. So it’s fucking hilarious to me. To clarify I’m not laughing at the red shirt guy I’m laughing at blizzard who fucked up on their own creation.

      The devs could just make up some random bs, the fact that they don't, deserved some respect.
      Unlike squaresoft, they shut down the rinoa-ultimecia theory so fast because they forgot to hinted the theory in the game, but try to build up the theory back with ultimecia using rinoa weapons in dissidia. As if no one wont notice. Ass holes.

      Unironically, this IS the power of autism. The ability to singlemindedly focus on particular topic, which makes you and "expert" within that area. However, the trade-off is that all your other areas of social interaction are less well developed and practiced.

You seem to have a pessimistic view of the world, or are just trying to troll people by taking a ridiculous take on it.

      Obviously I know what aspergers is, in no way did I imply that his reply was retarded. Although, to be honest, at this point the term is so broad that it's near meaningless, even when categorized between high and low the variation is huge.
      The response to a bully/troll saying "Hey you sound like an autist" is not to reply explaining why you sound weird and say that you actually have aspergers.
      They already know that you were nervous, clearly very socially awkward, and are at minimum somewhere on the spectrum. If you want them to think you're "normal" then *act normal*, laying down the reasons for why you're not accepted doesn't make you accepted, you're still weird.
      Moving on, judging by the video that we're all watching and commenting on, it's pretty safe to assume that most of you are going to be... More socially unaware than the general population. When I pair that with the fact that you agree with an awkward statement from a guy that literally has aspergers, it's pretty safe imo to guess that you're all on the spectrum or so socially out of touch that you behave like you are.
      Either that or you're patronizing him, I suspect that is also playing a large role here.

    One thing worth mentioning is that when Falstad was added as a playable character in _Heroes of the Storm,_ the devs also made a homage to Red Shirt Guy and the events surrounding it, by including the following quotes Falstad would say when you'd repeatedly clicked him in-game:
    "Rumors of me death have been greatly exaggerated."
    "Uhm, y-you didn't happen to see a little guy in a red shirt around here, did ya? He's always watching me..."
