Homophobia in rp needs to cease

And I was refering to the lvl cringe poster who keeps showing up on different accounts.
As for the bloof elf, well, she kinda had it coming tbh, not sure how someone can be so stuck up on their nose that she can’t see other might not like her attittude and for good reason in this case.

Ahh a shame 2 see that one flagged tbh, man was just riled because he thought i was sniping him in a major way, totally understandable.

He did misread you quite heavily, but I personally atleast flagged it once for being inappropriate primarily due to the last part of the post, which was entierly uncalled for & also generally not accepted here.

But it needs more than 1 person to hide it.

Enlightened centrism on homophobia truly is something.

Imagine caring about the population estimates for a race that will have as many living, able-bodied citizens as the plot demands. This ain’t EU4.

For the records there were like five Wandering Isle pandaren coming with me on that hot air balloon. And void elves are like, what, a few dozen?

“But what about their rights to express their hatred? It’s unfair to tell them they are wrong!”

Maybe you missed why this thread is here, Homophobic is against the rules and defending it all because “Don’t tell me how to rp.” knowing full well others might get upset for it, is pretty scummy to me. So yeah, she had it coming.

I found it particularly laughable when she pulled the “I’ve Rped for several years now, so it makes me correct in rping a homophobe simply due to passing the arbitrary time limit!”

In this particular case, it’s not really though. This is litterally about people adamantly wanting to rp something both not existing in the lore, but also not allowed in the game & also generally very demeaning towards a large portion of the other players.

With their only excuse being “I can do w/e I want!”

Tell me why should I accept someone inventing something for their char based on irl and not game lore and is a breach of ToS again? If this wasn’t the case, I could let it slide buddy.

This is where we disagree. I thought personally it was quite obvious that their reasoning came from a place of prejudice, or if we want to be optimistic, some severe negligence/misunderstanding of the topic.

They way their expressed such a defiant need to roleplay this and considering it “justified” is like having some wise-guy show up to a WW2 memorial day cracking jewish stereotypes jokes because they think they’re funny, so therefore they should be funny to everyone at any situation no matter what.

Then their kind of rp is bad rp, no matter how many years they claim to have of experiance, and the same way I can’t force them to change, they can’t force me to acknoladge them if they are going to be pricks about it.

Honestly a joke of a thread, from reading this the only impression this gives off is people whining about a FANTANSY WORLD (and reporting people who dont agree with them, rly are we 4). Of course the will be homophobia, racism, sexism and whatever other “ism” you can think of. But if you don’t like what someone is saying?? Put them on ignore get on with your day. The fact is some people will enjoy having a character that has these qualities, and its not down to you to police there fun. At the end of the day you are playing a role in a game. This doesn’t mean the person hates that type of person in real life or they are out to get you. Its just what they wanted to RP as. It doesn’t matter if it exists in wow or not, wow’s community is played whether you like it or not by humans. Players will take qualities from the real world all day long, they don’t have to be things they agree with just concepts they find interesting/ will make role play more dynamic/ They just want to role play as that.

When someone is part of a demographic that has been historically and is currently (in many places) marginalised and oppressed, I think it should come as no surprise when said person reacts defensively over arguments in favour of bringing that oppression into their hobby. The intolerance of intolerance is a natural reaction.

Imagine having your first forum post/cherry be a post like this.

Yikes.

But why do they want to roleplay as a homophobe? There are dozens of other, better character flaws that provide a better experience for themselves and those around them.

If they’re willing to die on the hill of homophobic roleplay, I’m just going to assume it comes from a very personal place for them.

It’s funny how this question has been asked numerous time in both threads and not a single person has given an answer to it.

Because we know the answer and so do they.

It would annoy me slightly less if they would own up to their believes instead of this thin veil of some sort of eccentric artistic liberty in roleplay.
