There is a legitimate reason behind that if you bother to look at the bigger picture
Also isnât there a huge thread (or two) here on the EU trying to stop an english server with a high polish community from being merged because it would cause struggles for the polish community that have made it their home??
I said it before ages ago, but Iâve geniuenly not seen people as sensitive as those who like to boast about how everyone is so easily âtriggered leftistsâ etc and bash on gay people.
Meanwhile we had Tyrande and Malfurion, a straight couple, make this into a main questline for one expansion. As in, it was litterally what 50% of the quest chain was about!
Without gay people you wouldnt be able to play WoW today. Go and do some research and you will see that the creator and inventor of the computers is a gay man who killed himself because of people like this person who created this article
As a new dad, I am very happy with this. The more inclusive the world becomes the better. I hope my son is able to be what ever he wants to be with no boundaries when he grows up.
LGBT have just as much right to be in this game as arthas and jainaâs relationship.
If you donât like it, just donât accept the quest chain.
If this is too much, what is the acceptable way to depict gay people in games? Have a character that has no associations with others, makes no mention of partners or significant others? How are you meant to tell they are gay then?
So basically, the acceptable way to present a gay individual is in a way where theyâre effectively not gay at all as far as the casual observor can see. Alrighty then!
Id argue the majority of âhomophobesâ are just so insecure in their own sexuality that they find a need to display over-reacting views of anyone who risks their own sense of self-knowingâŚ
Ps im straight so yeah⌠get a grip fella.
PSPS - turns out blizzard deems the official word for straight people as offensive, how bizzare.
No one was crying when there was a quest chains about Tyrandeâs and Malfurionâs love, no one was saying straight people getting shoved in our face right? But now they put some gay âânight elfsââ and suddenly you started to feel like you need to cry about it? What a pathetic article is this
It largely stems from bad stereotyping of gay people throughout history as sexual predators and opportunitists, so a lot of homophobic people incorrectly think that gay people will always be attracted to them and try to force themselves upon them.
Contrary to popular belief (iâd assume, iâm not gay myself) iâd assume gay people have âtypesâ and donât simply try to hump everything that is to their preferential liking, in the same way iâm not attracted to every single woman I meet, much less force myself upon them.
itâs actually really wierd, because a lot of people who advocate these views have traditional views on gender, and rails against stuff like âit shouldnât be a crime for a man to chat up and approach a woman ffsâ yet some of their fears about gay people stem from the idea that they donât really enjoy the idea of someone theyâre not into coming onto them and making them feel like theyâre being objectified like that.
The hypocrisy is absolutely staggering. Much of it stems from over-inflated senses of self iâd imagine, hence why such guys (itâs often guys) canât imagine why a gay man wouldnât want to chat them up, and canât imagine why a woman wouldnât enjoy their attention. Itâs like they find it impossible to conceive of the notion that some people just may not find them attractive or care much about them, and theyâd rather get angry at people than acknowledge this fact.
Yeah, when people tend to sway to a certain server, whether it be for RP, PvE, Certain speaking language/Something they have in common, and someone tries to tear that down, of course thereâs going to be repuctions. I wouldnât call it special treatment, I would call it being sensible.
Just look at how much homophobia is in this thread. If I was homosexual, I wouldnât want to be confronted with this kind of hatred every time I log in. So their demand is reasonable.
