Perhapes not out right homophobia. BUT there are not fare from Racism (WHICH are in the Warcraft lore. Just play Warcraft 3 blood elf campaign) to Homophobia. Don’t get me wrong I am not condoning OOC homophobia nor have I ever played a Homophobic character. But still if someone RP as one and do it will I can’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to do so… And if a LBQT person gets in a titsy over it that’s THEY problem. If they can’t Separate IC from OOC they shouldn’t be on an RP server in the first place.

Homosexuals are not a race.

There is no homophobia in WoW.
Doesn’t matter how you try to justify yourself or others. We’ve been told by the writers. It is not a thing.

I feel like this is a weak argument. Because again, even back when Warcraft was still finding its footing and regressive just for the sake of it/cus it was the style in fantasy at the time, EVEN then, we had no homophobia.
Also just because something exists, doesnt mean that it automatically leads to that something else does.
You could use the same argument in saying that “Well, we got steam engines, so it’s not a far step away from having Ferraris, so people should be able to rp having race cars from our world.”
It’s literally non-existent in the world according to the writers, AND is not allowed according to the Terms of Use.
This isn’t rocket surgery.
No, that’s the problem of the person breaking both lore and ToU. Also, how do you even get to the galaxy brain take that being offended at something horrible that happens to queer people every day is somehow the fault of the queer person?
You are a special kind of thick, aren’t you.

Said it before, I’ll say it again.
When someone uses the whole “Well, it’s not my fault if other people get offended or upset, its THEIR OWN FAULT”, the person is in most cases, actually entierly at fault and just extremly self-centered and douchy.
If I upset someone and they tell me that I upset them, my natural instinct is to say sorry and apologise, not go “ACTUALLY ITS YOUR OWN FAULT, GET A THICKER SKIN LMAO!”

In this house we don’t build thicker skins; we trim the barbs.

It is kinda amusing that most of the edgelords talking about how triggered and sensitive everyone is, usually are the ones who are the most fragile when questioned about anything.
But, being sensitive is okay!

Instead of giving me sh*t for being sensitive, how about just not being a douchesandwich in the first place?
Just, y’know… be nicer to people?

I love it when the pro-homophobia posts are in broken English too.

That’s probably not a coincidence given the recent resurgence of anti-queer legislation in several european countries.
I spent minutes of my life trying to find the woman who coined the phrase “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” and failed. Dang it

I’d honestly be impressed if someone came into the thread and made a point we haven’t heard before. So far it’s just people rehashing the same tired dogwhistles.

the people who can’t separate IC from OOC are the stubborn morons who insist on bringing homophobia into an IC universe where it doesn’t exist.
Why do you insist on regurgitating the same empty-headed nonsense that was already refuted about 2000 posts ago?

Another one… well… here we go again…
Specism doesn’t and shouldn’t result in homophobia.
True, you are supporting breach of ToS and championing lore break for the sake of a flaw not even the likes of Gul’dan has or needs (to my knowledge).
It’s lore and immersion breaking, plus it’s against the rules.
Being bullied is the victim problem? Ok.
We can, but we are also allowed to tell folk lore and ToS breach is wrong. If the other person can’t see that, they are the ones who don’t belong here.
“I’m going to RP a homophobic character, you can’t tell me otherwise. There’s a form of racism in lore, there’s violence so this is okay. Get a thicker skin and don’t @ me huns!”

It’s especially Interesting and Big Think how these people are always very clear to say “Well I’m not bigoted” but then go out of there way to enter a thread where clearly disagree with the idea of RPing bigotry applicable to real life and try and defend the Definitely Just Hypothetical homophobic RPer
like, you know you can just not post right
It’s cool, I got you. My minutes are worthless here at the hospital.
