Kinda ignoring what I said there. Not asking you to accept it, or agree with it, but its not them actively hating more than it is their opinion on it and their character.

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 âjustifiedâ is like having some wise-guy show up to a WW2 memorial day cracking jewish stereotypes jokes because they think theyâre 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 canât force them to change, they canât 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 âismâ you can think of. But if you donât 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 doesnât 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 doesnât matter if it exists in wow or not, wowâs community is played whether you like it or not by humans. Players will take qualities from the real world all day long, they donât 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 theyâre willing to die on the hill of homophobic roleplay, Iâm just going to assume it comes from a very personal place for them.

Itâs 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.
Sometimes admiting you are wrong in your opinion can be harsh.
âIt is my RIGHT as a FANTASY AUTHOR to degrade LGBT people in an online roleplaying game

Vixi, I attend Gay pride every year two of my closest friends are gay, I am far from a homophobe and completely support same sex marrage/ relationships etc. You shouldnât jump to conclusions so much in fact this is just deformation.

Iâm not going to doubt this, but I will ask this question: Why do you feel it necessary to advocate for a less friendly RP environment online when the whole point of pride parades is to allow for greater acceptance of LGBTQ+ people?

Yes, but actually no. 
You can have fun, but only if your fun doesnât offend me even though its not real at all.
Yet you defend homophobia, which is against ToS and itâs not something ingame, people will reach that conclusion pal.
Folk are done saying for her not to rp something that is against the rules, we grew tired of that, just that we will never accept it as good rp and shove it in the void.

By that metric, go about in game and use IRL racial slurs and stigma and see if you still feel the same.
