Itās been pretty clear for years now that the woke agenda is blizzās priority, look at the new trailer, black, amputee, powerfulā¦ and with a lance? wtf?
My wife, who is the bread winer at home, iām a stay at home dad, and ni, it doesnct threaten my masculinity, we are feminists, we are vegans, i mean, we lend quite to the liberal side, she puts it pretty well, and simple: a woman doesnāt need to be masculinzed and loze her feminity to be powerful, this doesnāt mean that women in games need to wear skimpy heavy armor that is a bikini, absolutely not, but women behaving like men to be powerful and be taken seriously is just nonsense.

Oh. My. God.
She is not behaving like a man she can be a fricking Paladin and disabled and black and a woman and nothing in that is masculine and affecting her being a woman. What sort of feminists are you to say a character isnāt a woman because she isnāt wearing a skimpy dress and heels?!
How DARE you say what is and isnāt a woman? How DARE you say a woman is less of a woman because she isnāt a barbie doll?
I hate these forums. I hate them. Iām going.

What do you think about the topic though? Is it a good idea? A bad one?
I honestly just want Blizzard to see that people care. Hereās hoping the mods can restore visibility to the OP though.

Yes I would like a choice. I liked when the voiced lines refered to me as a āsheā at times.

Yeah, speaking as a gay guy who exclusively plays men I want my characters to be referred to as men. Itās jarring when people or NPCās try to have a conversation without using masculine pronouns.
Thatās one of the biggest problems with the decision to switch to the clinical ābody 1ā and ābody 2ā approach. The LGBT community is not a hive mind and many of us are actually opposed to being described in such terms.
At the very least, making it optional would be a better compromise. At least then those of us who do not like it could refuse to use it whereas those who do want to use it could do so if they so choose.

yup, āthe only slavers where white peopleā
they donāt even know about blacks slaving blacks all over africa on the 15th and 16th century, north africans slaving more than a million people from southern europeā¦ but ITāS THE WHITE MENāS FAULT!
they care about pronous and inclusion but they wonāt learn sign language or brailleā¦

Sorry Shenyssae.
Some people on both sides of the issue need to grow up.
Iām withdrawing from this thread because itās already getting worse.
I still support your idea though. Choice is good for everyone.

And thatās why such a thread is not a good ideaā¦ ā¦ ā¦it always ends in people being angry with eachother, insulting eachother, attacking eachotherā¦
PS: Iād also like to have a choice, so I can choose āheā, āsheā or whatever else for each of my chars.

Yeah unfortunately. I just donāt really see any other way to provide the feedback that I want. I donāt think anyone checks the ingame version of the support tickets in the EU clientā¦

You win the internet for today 
And more often than not, the responses of the āslightedā proudly display why things /initiatives like this ARE important if we ever want to become anythng close to an actual enlightened civilization that doesnĀ“t still constantly pit people against each other by gender, race, creed, etc. for no purpose but to distract the normals from whatĀ“s really going on at the topā¦
Rail against corporatecorruption all day, fight for political toleranceā¦ but demonize your new neighbor for having dared to spend 2 weeks in Tahiti getting a sick suntan before he moved in ā¦

If people could keep their personal politics out of the discussion it would be fine. Honestly just donāt engage with those with bigoted views. Nothing good ever comes of it. If they break the forum rules just flag otherwise just ignore them.
It would be nice if the datamined options were something we had in game.
I understand going for gender neutral terms is probably the easiest solution in the mean time. Given a choice I would have my male characters referred to as he and my female characters as she.

Oh believe me, I did. Iām now on a 24h flag lockout. x)
Before people ask: No, I wonāt confirm nor deny who I did or didnāt flag. There is enough hate in this thread already. If you think it could be you, you probably did write something inappropriate or did troll and you do realize it now. That is the first step for getting better. 
Totally agree on that. That way everybody can chose what seems to be appropriate for them and in theory everybody could be happy.

[Sees OP make a suggestion for more customisation options in game]
[Witnesses the comment section burst into flames because they saw the word āpronounsā and suddenly assumed what the entire post was about.]
OP the only reason I can imagine they havenāt done something like this already would be workload. If Blizz already went to great lengths to make everything more neutral, it would likely be a pain to comb through every quest again and add in more personalised text.
Although a part of me wishes they had someone doing some editing anyway, because I keep finding typos. Especially in quests where they have messed with pronouns to remove tasteless gendered jokes and insults (coughsludgefieldscough.) I know it was done in a blind panic and theyāve left some quest text and dialogue in an absolutely butchered state.
