Homophobia in rp needs to cease

I think your armory must be bugged or something.

Peachyxo-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:21pm

You realise there’s a pvp tab, right?

Soulburn-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:23pm

If only I could be as acomplished a raider as the level 10 alt poster.

You realise there is a thing called gallywix boosting service? xD

He is unable to keep a solid dot uptime on even simple zero movement boss fights, spell prios are horrible and he is bottom dps in a group that is carrying him. (all evidenced in logs)

Heck I would bet on it he is backpeddaling lul

TL;DR Horrible warlock, would have a passing grade by LFR standards.

You should log onto your main and show me how it’s done, we can learn from each other.

I see borderline guro descriptions of violence in the capital cities. I’ve observed graphic detail of torture done by supposed self-described “good” roleplayers. I’ve seen racist slurs (completely unfounded as per the lore by the way) and and anti-semitic dogwhistles masked as “religious” roleplay.

What I am more bothered about is why there is this hyperfocus on an Orc male saying he doesn’t find the idea of two men kissing in public, or any PDA for that matter, very proper to do, and then saying the player behind said character is somehow homophobic for it.

Just to get this thread back onto the topic.

Yeah this should get dunked on too, just like wacky homophobia in RP.

glad we agree

Telaryn-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:33pm

Report them. None of that is appropriate and no-one in this thread supports that, unless you’re like to call out some specific offenders for their double standard.

There used to be a trend among northern RPers some 5-6 years go to Blood Eagle people in graphic detail and when that came to light, they too were torn a new one over it. The only ones in support of it were the ones exposed for their disgusting RP, same as what has largely happened in this thread.

The level of violence you should stick to in RP is the same as what we’re seen depicted in WoW. Most of it is implied, and where violence does gets detailed in a more grim light, none of it is the kind of guro posting you’ve described.

Soulburn-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:34pm

Because there’s no lore examples out there of characters in lore expressing homophobia or anything that remotely implies it.

The thing is homophobia is taught by your enviorment, there’s no reason an orc should hate his fellow orcs for their sexual prefferences if there’s no societal pressure. So the homophobia can only be traced into OOC opinions leaking into RP.

You can def RP a character that finds it improper to kiss in public, as in general. That’s completely fair.

Learn something from a backpedaling grey parser? wutface

Currently I am unable to swap characters but I will still indulge you

Just to be clear though, be careful what we wish for. Once the blades come out for one type of behaviour and considering how Blizzard generally behaves in a hackhanded fashion it might have unintended unpleasant consequences on more than just the extreme ends of rp.

Tehya-wildhammer · July 25, 2020, 6:36pm

A concern for then. For now, let’s just get people back on a proper track

Amdusias-mirage-raceway · July 25, 2020, 6:36pm

I shall give you an example of what happened. My Orc saw two guys kissing in the middle of Orgrimmar. He approached them and asked them to take it elsewhere private.
Not that he was particularly against the idea of two men - he personally doesn’t have that inclination - it was more the PDA, he would be the same if it was two women or a man and a woman.
But I was immediately blasted for being “homophobic” in whispers. Do you see the problem?

Tehya-wildhammer · July 25, 2020, 6:39pm

Yes and I’ve been called a 1940s german for RPing a guard. It doesn’t really matter how a few goons overreact, tbh. I highly doubt blizz would even care about that.

This thread and its previous incarnation is more on about things like a certain individual dropping the f-bomb.

Vixí-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:39pm

As Tehya said, all of these are bad and should also not be roleplayed.

Soulburn-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:40pm

Yea I’m unable to swap onto that character too, that’s strange.

I can see that and I’ll work under the asumption you didn’t really instigate it with bad intent ooc. Work on good faith etc.

While it might just be your character being against public displays of sexuality, which I suppose is ok. You have to look at it from the perspective of those RPers who just sees this guy crazily targeting to the two men kissing. Probably not something they have seen the first time.

We all work under asumptions and it is probably what lead to that misunderstanding, that’s just where you either have to just drop that part of your character, and I mean that in a no-flame kind of way, but it’s just a touchy subject and you have to expect those reactions, or you just have to prepare to explain yourself consistently OOCly.

Peachyxo-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:41pm

KEKW, people here know very well who that DK is

Vixí-argent-dawn · July 25, 2020, 6:43pm

I’m not saying I’m agreeing with them, since guessing your intent so bluntly right away isnt really on, but I can understand why they assumed such since it is very rare both IRL & in RP to see people say stuff like that to a straight couple, but to a gay couple it can be very common.
