It does apply but nothing anyone says or does will make you accept and change your behaviour. Or this wouldn’t come up every time the trading post has something pretty on it.
It’s a shame some find their masculinity threatened by something pretty or cute.
And I’m not going to comment on this further because it’s just derailing into the same sexist rubbish we see every time.
Calling someone a misogynist because you’re too brainwashed to understand what words mean anymore is more offensive than someone saying something is girly or manly. There is no hate involved calling something girly. People need to stop changing what words mean and grow up already.
Your obsession with manliness is girly.
It’s not a full list so there may be other options. I guess we’ll find out soon!!!
Puny I dont know what to say… I said in my opening comments that I do not dissaprove of this. That I accept this trading post. That I am okey with it… I just wish we got some cool stuff got the higher graphics new armor treatment too. And not just re sells of old armor.
I believe that masculine and femenine things are a thing… It seems to me. Like your in a mindset that all things are just Unisex and transgender regardless. And its just not the case with reality.
Guys and girls like and have different taste and things. We are into different stuff.
Being a sexist would mean I look down on the oppesite gender based off my own gender in my book. Is it different in yours?
Am I looking down on women for this?
I dont think anyone finds their masculinity threatened by something pretty or cute, many people are just tired of getting cutesy stuff all the time, why can’t there be a balance? Why go out of your way to label people instead of finding a middle ground?
You’ve grown used to blizzard catering to your wants and needs in these themes for so long that anything in the middle or in the opposite is seen as sexist or misogynistic.
They’re passing comments relating to a personal preference. It may not be your intention but I’ve seen this particular song and dance many times over. Where a vocal portion of the player-base demand that they are catered to as a priority on the basis of making up for some perceived slight and neglect only to become utterly rabid when others - namely the original target audience - ask to rein things n a little.
That aside, this is a game that has many players from all sorts of different backgrounds, belief systems, cultures and countries. So it is often best, in my opinion, to simply agree to disagree on various topics of discussion and perhaps assume the best rather than the worst of the intent.
It rarely ends well to accuse people of being various ‘isms’ and again, whilst it may not be your intention, recent years have shown that such tactics are readily weaponised in an effort to silence and stifle feedback and commentary on various elements of this game and others.
The problem is not your distaste, the problem is labeling it with a gender stereotype. You can ask for goth or whatever stuff without labeling it as appealing to one gender or the other.
It’s nothing to do with someone’s gender whether or not they like an item.
However a full catalogue of items from the TP since it started is available online. You can see how it’s not catering to any one specific group as you claim. Nor do people just necessarily buy one type of item either. You can like someting pretty and still want something else will skulls on it.
Personal preference is fine but not stupid labels. It’s just stuff, it’s not girly or manly. It’s just stuff.
Of course it does… Ones identity. Sexuality and gender. All comes into play. Its not that simple puny.
But I’m not going to reply again on the sexism some continue to display.
I am looking forward to the new TP.
I am sorry you think I am sexist for this… But I really do not look down on women. Just because I think butterflies and rainbows are more inclined towards them.
-Even- though some men likes it too.
That is what a sexist means to me at least… Someone who judges others based of genders.
Intentionally or not, you just reinforce gender stereotypes. And those stereotypes don’t hurt just one gender.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
but we are different Chronomi… Sterotypes do exist… We are into and like different things. We both have different preferences and are inclined towards different tastes…
No one is worse or anything for liking the other more than the other. But we are are different.
Its not evil… or sexist… that I am just saying. that women and men like different things?
Hell our differences and all is what we are attracted too is it not?
These stereotypes are social, enforced from a young age, but they have no genetic basis, and when people stray from those stereotypes society perceives them as weird because of that and they suffer for it. Even though that person did nothing wrong besides not aligning with those stereotypes.
If a dude likes rainbows and butterly wings… there wont be any evil intentions coming out of me. I can promise that.
I wouldn’t hate on a girl character in gritty dark armor either.
Sterotypes exist for a reason, they’re not offensive. Stop trying to make them so because thats your choice. People that prefer “non girly” things do not hate women so stop trying to suggest that we do.
We don’t have to agree, but only one group is throwing around isms and whatnotms. Be better.
You’d still call them girly apparently, even if they probably won’t appreciate it.
What reason is that? Care to enlighten me?
Well i don’t think they would disappreciate it would they? If they dressed like a girl… Would they not want me to think of them as such?
Its not like they where trying too look like a final boss exactly <.<
Do you think dudes who dresses up in rainbows and glitter wanna be called manly? I don’t think thats what they want…
