I hoped this meme would die

Geez so many alliance player angry that the horde get more than one character per race for once... The horde was in need of character and since all of our old know leader died, we needed new one. If they are to make new nameless character important why not a character liked like him?Even for the nickname they did it good. I dont like that much the idea of a real life nickname being put in the game but from Bwonsamdi it fit so much. Calling him zappy boy is exactly the same thing he did with us all the expansion. taunting us about our ability.
That's just horrible. A name made up by... simple minds in the internet, a stupid meme. Not at all respectful of Zekhan as a character.Please, Blizzard, leave stupid internet memes out of this game and its books. Azeroth is funny enough with all the (real) pop culture references in there.Also I really, really hate those wrong-on-purpose-spellings like "boi" - why is this even supposed to be cool? I'm probably just getting old, but I don't know what's cool, funny, clever or even remotely interesting about that habit.
What a lame character.
Yay for Zekhan!... wow, people mad at a Meme, in World of Warcraft?
Oh, people taking a two word excerpt from a video game book and blowing it out of proportion? Must be a day that ends in "y."
The writers are more concerned with stupid stuff like this than making sure our character's narrative is consistent from expansion to expansion.
Just saying once again, as said in the quoted texts, Bwonsamdi is NOT the loa of death but the loa of graves. The loa of death is Mueh'zala.And I am glad to see that we will see Zekhan once again (and hopefully many more times), going into Shadowlands !
I was gonna be a bit peeved that Blizzard were canonizing this considering how daft it is, reeking of the fanfic style writing that made Nathanos so detestable in BFA, but from Bwonsamdi? Alright, you get a pass - that fits.
I'm definitely the party pooper at the Zappy Boy love in...
Well, I respect the opinions expressed just above, but I find it funny and not harmfull to have his nickname canon. For me it's just another tool writers have at disposal to develop that character in the future - even if it would be thrown away to make his personality more serious, so to speak.On a fun note, the spelling 'boi' makes me laugh ever time I read it. That's because the word 'boi' in Portuguese (my native language) means 'ox'. So I always think the character should be a Tauren, not a Troll.
Cringe
I'm confused. Wasn´t the troll from the trailer confirmed not to be zappy boi?
Are you telling me that Zappy "Zekhan" Boy isn't his real name?
