Yeah spider mods have been a thing for many years, very few people affected but also kinda costs nothing to swap models usually so as an option it's whatever, usually it's just modded for people who want it though. You see it especially often in ARPGs due to the point of view so the spiders end up "realistically" crawling around on your screen. I hate spiders but usually games don't cause any reaction, but then again I don't hate them to the point where I can't even kill them, I just smash them everytime I see one.I had a person in my guild that disliked spiders bad enough that they would have used a mod to change all the spider models. I didn't know mods to edit spiders out of games was really a thing until they said something about doing it for Skyrim.
Blizzard kinda fucked themselves on this one, since they stated they would ban people that used mods to change models on the user side. Before that, people so inclined could have just used a third party mod and it would not have changed the game for anyone else.
Personally, I was sorta tempted to buy the 2 mil spider mount and knowing there were people that hated looking at it kinda added to my desire to buy it.
Missing arm shit while obvious pandering would actually kinda be logical, in a game where people have been in wars for most of their lives, it's surprising most of them aren't missing limbs, fingers, eyes, end up disfigured and such. I guess magic can handwave it if you assume limbs can be regrown though, in which case it becomes questionnable why anyone would have any disability(including pirates with peg legs or missing eyes which iirc have been a thing in wow for years). The fact they decided to slap that on the black woman with butch cut though is about as subtle as an elephant.
