Homophobia in rp needs to cease

Imagine accidentally misgendering someone

It’s a good thing we live in a world where no one ever interacts with people from outside their country or language group!
That would be so awkwaaaard! :grin:

You’re right, we should make Finnish the new lingua franca of the world to usher forth a new era of gender neutrality

one step closer to the Finno-Korean Hyperwar…

I’m sorry but I’d have to oppose this because if the movement failed I’d be able to say it was…

Nothing wrong with being gay. If the characters themselves are homophobic however, not the player, then that’s a different story.

Of course, if you don’t feel comfortable with the idea in general, you do have the option of not interacting with those people.

Again, if it’s an OOC thing, fully agree, not cool.

It doesn’t exist in the setting + is against ToS.
It’s really not hard to read back up through the thread.

I read through it alright. Still keeping to what I said. IC interaction is between the characters, not the players.

Obviously the moment when that distinction isn’t clear, is when you should consider breaking off and just not continuing to interact. If needed be, report it to a GM and have then look into it.

White moderate take

If that IC interaction still breaks the ToS then it shouldn’t be present in RP at all.

I doubt Blizzard is going to care if it’s IC or not when you get caught using homophobic remarks and try and defend it with the “B-but it’s not me, it’s my character!” take. You still typed those words out, and it’s still against ToS.

We made it to nearly three days lads, better luck next time :pray:

Homophobia does not exist on Azeroth (aside from very nuanced examples eg bloodline/population numbers but it’s a different topic) to make it a plausible IC interaction, so it inherently becomes an OOC interaction due to the homophobe inventing its presence into IC.

but yea i’ll report the homophobes and say they’re bdrp too :slight_smile:

Are you incapable of reading what I wrote?

Lotta things present in the hobby shouldn’t be there at all, and breaks the ToS.

For this in particular, it’s a matter of context. And of course, weither or not the player is simply playing the character, or just trying to upset you. The latter is not okay.

Homophobia doesn’t exist in the setting, as per Danuser.

Except, as Koiffen has already stated, homophobia doesn’t exist in WoW as said by the Word of God (Danuser).

Nobody in the setting cares who you bump uglies with
