The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[Steelbreaker25]

I'm a person repulsed by those 'holes in hands' Photoshops you run into now and again, and the original icon provoked absolutely zero reaction. I think this was a pretty clear-cut issue of people complaining just to complain. Get a grip.

"It doesn't affect me personally, therefor it is objectively not an issue. Everybody else is being dumb, because only MY opinion matters."

Like, I have what I would call a phobia of deep waters, but I can deal with some things and not with others (the Tempest gets me only a little spooked, but I can barely watch a video of Subnautica). EDIT: But I don't expect all people to react the way I do.

Unfortunately this seems like just the beginning. Give these people an inch they’ll take a yard. Who knows what other things on game now will start to trigger them and they’ll need to be pandered to yet again.

The problem with this slippery slope thinking is that most people understand that phobias are irrational fears, and that they are the exception, not the rule. It's nice when they cater to these little things, but it's understandable when they can't or it would be too ridiculous, like say, going back and removing the Ruby Sea or the Tempest just for a handful of players.
