American? What kinda language is that?
Yup, itâs looking like people just made this reason up to have something to yell at LGBT people about. Itâs certainly summoned the bigots so they can spew hate and the âall lives matterâ closet bigots who want to pass it off as âoppression of straight peopleâ which I figure was the purpose.
I still stand by my statement that if the players didnât want the server connection then they shouldnât make it, you know if that had actually been the reason.

You think only certain people can face descrimination and one of the groups of people you feel this way about is one you belong to(According to your previous posts). What a coincidence.
Bigot:
a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.
Any descrimination is bad. Youâve clearly shown youâre ok if stright people get descriminated against or white people but are ok with it because of your own personal prefrence. Unlike you I think itâs wrong when it happens to anyone gay stright black brown yellow white. I donât pick and choose where itâs ok, So whoâs the bigot exactly?
It seems you think calling someone out whos gay or black makes you a bigot or racist even when your point has nothing to do with their skin colour of sexual prefrences. You on the other hand have shown the opposit.
Not standing by and letting people assume Iâm a racist or homophobe because of my skin pigment doesnât make me a racist or a homophobe. Being racist and homophobic does that, If you think someone needs to agree with hypocrisy to not be either of they things you need to get a grip of reality.

Feels like it lmao
I would agree within reason though, even if you go by the population statistics, there was no way a server like Grim Batol really had the numbers to sustain itself in the long term, and without a similar server like it sometimes painful decisions that might not be popular have to be made for the long term health of the realms. I think the frostmane-Grim batol connection was a necessary one.
That being said I feel like they could have connected DrakâThul to Burning Legion (since there both dominated by slavic communities, this would have also made a realm the size of Tarren mill) and freed up Xavius to be connected elsewhere but alas Iâm not blizzard and I might be missing out on the bigger picture, we will only really know when the connection programme is finished and we can see where weâre at with the servers that will be leftover.
So when did people have to say what theyâre intentions are without people knowing? Blizzard doesnât need to make a statement towards something for others to see what they did?
Janiah loves assuming that people are racist or bigots but doesnât like it when people assume Blizzards clear intentions.
Disagreeing with BLM doesnât make you a racist, Here you are changing the subject again. Disagreeing with you while not descriminating on peoples skin colour or who they are doesnât make you a bigot. You think everyone has to agree with you because youâre LGBTQ? How does that work exactly?
I love how you think disagreeing with BLM = disagreeing with black people in general, You do know lots of black people dislike BLM too? They donât speak for every black person, slapping people into boxes and then calling everyone else racist? ironic.
What I find funny is how you ignored multiple gay people who have disagreed with you in this thread. They hate themselves? Your logic is clearly flawed.
Actions tell people what your intentions are, Words donât need to be said. When everyone objected their server merge for other reasons they got ignored. except in this case. âHUR DUR PEOPLE JUST HATING ON GAY PEOPLE BIGOT BIGOT HOMOPHOBE RACISTâ
Server connections are all well and good but ultimately they should be about improving player experience for the players rather than balance the numbers. Thatâs something I feel they failed at with the Burning Legion connections and if I was on Xavius I imagine no connection at all would have been preferable.
Indeed, but having an bigger realm economy should by extension create a better player experience. and who knows maybe burning legion is in for an other connection in the future. Itâs got healthy population now sure but its not so crowded that it canât be connected again, thats why I think we need to wait until the programme has run its course cause we dont fully know blizzards plans and they have shown to surprise us sometimes.
Certain slogans are used by a specific crowd to delegitimise the plight of others, turning a blind eye, ignoring or downplaying injustice in society doesnât magically make it go away. I got nothing more to say to this.
and who said they slogans in this thread exactly? Oh right, just assuming.
You know itâs a shame, when I first saw this topic it felt positive, if they canceled a connection because of the social context of the server maybe that meant theyâll reconsider their approach and not connect servers to ones dominated by another language. The LGBT aspect was just a footnote, really. But as usual bigots show up to poison the well.
Of course, turns out the social context wasnât why they cancelled the connection, the well had just been poisoned from the start.
Nobody cares that they are LGBTQ, This person is tottaly ignoring the point of the posts. The point of the posts is Blizzard not stopping the other merging realms except the one with LGBTQ people complained.
I guess you donât like that point as you canât do your whole everyone whos stright and white is a bigot routine.
People care when you get special treatment, Not that youâre in a same sex relationship, different story.
Yes homophobes exist, yes racism exists. However giving you something that other people donât get to pander to you, Is descrimination in itself. Treating you the same as a white stright person isnât. Do it for all or donât do it.

Social dynamics are very different in The US than EU. There are a lot fewer languages in play but the political divide and partisan tensions are stronger than anywhere else.
Even in US however, you can see a lot of Xenophobia directed at players who play on Latin American/Brazilian servers, and those servers share group finder queues with English servers because they donât have the population to sustain their own queues⊠Iâve seen people get vote kicked from lfr because âHeâs from QuelâThalas lelâ.
On US servers themselves baring a select few oddities (Zulâjin for its Quebecquois community, Illidan for its Chinese community, & Tichondrius for a few other asian languages), all servers are exclusively English speaking. Sure certain servers have certain reputations but I wouldnât say there are nearly as many social barriers between them.
Where people complained about the high populations involved (on both servers) and questioned why it was needed⊠FTFY.
And blizzard hasnât put the connection off entirely even in the post they said they are monitoring the population and if they feel like itâs still warranted, Hyjal may still be connected towards the end of the programme.
Europe definitely has more languages to consider. And in a way itâs part of the charm of Europe, itâs far less insular and you get exposed to a greater variety of languages and cultures. It can be an issue when you need to communicate though as some people just donât speak English, and I would find it grating if 90% was in a language I donât understand. I do empathize with people ending up with such a connection.
As for âwell they might add more and we donât know their long term planâ if the short term result is that people are transferring off the server, if guild rosters dwindle even more, then no connection at all would have been better. They could have made a better one later.
Honestly I wouldât advise realm transfers until the programme is complete because you donât know whatâs going to be connected next, you might just end up on the same server with a different âsurnameâ for your char. (assuming your doing it for server connections reasons and not because you want to play with your friends etc.)
Hahahaha!
Those bigots are saying that every life matters? Some sign of bigotry right there, saying every life is equal. Yup.
And what? You disagree, cause you so woke and they so bigoted, right? So not all lives matter to you then?
Man, Iâm getting real tired of seeing your virtue signaling posts attacking people who just happen to have a different opinion than yours, something you seem to mistake for injustice.

like I said certain expressions arenât necessarily wrong if you take their meaning at itâs literal face value, but they came to being and are routinely associated as being used by a certain crowd to drown out the plight of others and thats wherein the problem lies.
Oh I agree. That certain statements are used by devious and malicious people to push their agendas. Like Black Lives Matter.

There is no point in arguing with you, you are obviously oblivious to the bigger issue. All this is doing is further derailing the thread.
Well if youâre going to attach certain statements to negative things like that. You could do the same for BLM. Have you watched the riot videos? There is people with BLM signs attacking people and looting shops. Lotâs of people donât like the Black lifes matter slogan because of it implying racism and descrimination only happens to them. Thatâs the issue people have which leads to people saying âall lives matterâ but weâre changing the subject to the thread, thanks to Janiah.
Just because some racist say a statement that makes sense doesnât mean it should become a racist statement.
There is also people rioting against them and acting like idiots too. You canât judge normal people for that side either, Like I donât judge black people for the BLM rioters thatâs attacking people.
