Homophobia in rp needs to cease

[Nerathion-argent-dawn (Nerathion)]

@Ïrelia-argent-dawn

No I wasn’t. I am no longer going to entertain accusations of homophobia.

idk considering you took short vacations blizzard (the court and the judge here) also proved you wrong

@Ïrelia-argent-dawn

What I meant by that is the people I normally talk to are actually civilized and act as if they can function in the real world.

dunno looking at your friends here i don’t see what you’re talking about

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

I have had my sexuality questioned.

nobody did, i don’t think anybody cares either. saying 'homosexuals can be homophobic (through self-hatred for example) is not an attack on you, but you still somehow felt it

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

I have been accused of being homophobic.

validly accused too! and proven to be homophobic!

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

I have been accused of being bad at roleplay by people who have never roleplayed with me.

by inventing homophobia in a game and setting that does not have homophobia, yes - you are quite bad at RP especially when that’s the most interesting flaw you can come up with

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

I have been psychoanalysed by wiseguys who play fantasy characters as a past-time

?

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

I have been led to believe that the separation of character from player no longer can happen nor is it desirable any more.

sure it can happen, don’t conflate being homophobic with separating the character from the player. those aren’t the same

((though complete separation probably can’t happen anyway))

@Ïrelia-argent-dawn

Because, practically, why would I make another post to say the same things I already said in this one?

and if you still stand by this and continue defending other homophobic takes because of your takes, enabling and encouraging other homophobes and more, then you are a homophobe

the argument doesn’t hold much water because guess what, gays can procreate too

@Kufell-argent-dawn

Thus why I think using “Well, there’s no canon examples of this therefore there is no feasible way it could ever exist” is a bad argument

except my character has basis for existing (there are night elf druids in azeroth)

there are no homophobes in azeroth

1000 posts later and we’re still at a crossroads where some people just can’t grasp the logic that playing a homophobic character is very cringe and unfitting to WoW.

People desperately grasping at straws and making mountains of out molehills. It really isn’t that hard to grasp. Just don’t RP it, in a setting where you can RP thousands of interesting concepts and you willing choose to RP a homophobe. Very WeirdChamp tbh.

[Amdusias-mirage-raceway]

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

I did not

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

You claimed yourself to be a gay man IRL

Stop trying to get one up, because you can’t.

[Soulburn-argent-dawn]

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

What’s wrong here? Was it not you who said you were gay?

[Amdusias-mirage-raceway]

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

What’s wrong here?

“Claimed” is the insinuation that i am lying. Because you are not acting under good faith.

[Kufell-argent-dawn]

@Nerathion-argent-dawn

except my character has basis for existing (there are night elf druids in azeroth)

there are no homophobes in azeroth

People hate people in Azeroth for all sorts of reasons, including bad ones, this is another.

[Nerathion-argent-dawn (Nerathion)]

people hate people in azeroth for all sorts of reasons that are shown in azeroth

being gay is not one of those reasons, you’re inventing it to be homophobic

Except Steve Danuser recently denied the existence of sexuality-based bigotry in the setting. Next.

Because:

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

we’ll count how long it takes before blizzard takes it down.

@Kufell-argent-dawn

My point is purely that we all insert our head-canon around the existing canon, trying to fit it in as well as we can.

“Trying to fit in as well as we can” is the important bit, especially in a world in which the creators of the world said that homophobia doean’t exist, quite the opposite.

@Kufell-argent-dawn

we would be much better off spending our time reinforcing the fact that it is against the ToS, you can’t argue against that.

Yet some people here find a way to do so.

[Arano-argent-dawn]

Like if you think Homophobia adds nothing to RP

[Ïrelia-argent-dawn]

@Nerathion-argent-dawn

idk considering you took short vacations blizzard (the court and the judge here) also proved you wrong

I disagree them also and have challenged them on it.

@Nerathion-argent-dawn

dunno looking at your friends here i don’t see what you’re talking about

People I have met online and never met in person? Doesn’t apply to what I said. Like I said, stick to things you are actually informed on.

@Nerathion-argent-dawn

and if you still stand by this and continue defending other homophobic takes because of your takes, enabling and encouraging other homophobes and more, then you are a homophobe

I haven’t gone back to my previous arguments once since I returned to this post.

@Sainur-argent-dawn

t can’t grasp the logic that playing a homophobic character

That isn’t what is being discussed.

[Amdusias-mirage-raceway]

Like if you think people should separate their own ego from their characters.

[Soulburn-argent-dawn]

@Amdusias-mirage-raceway

“Claimed” is the insinuation that i am lying. Because you are not acting under good faith.

No a claim insinuates you stated it.

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

you interpretated it as I did and I clarified that I belived it was odd that you could not see why injecting homophobia is harmful despite being gay.

Saying “You claimed” isn’t about calling you a liar, it’s about saying it’s by your own words that you said you were gay, and it’s not a label I’m pushing on you.

Stop trying to vicimise yourself over a misinterpretation I corrected literally the next reply after you took offence.

Irelia not liking it explains the constant snowflaky concepts

[Tehya-wildhammer]

Yeah i agree

So where is the existing canon on homophobia?

[Soulburn-argent-dawn]

@Kufell-argent-dawn

My point is purely that we all insert our head-canon around the existing canon

That was my initial argument from the start, there’s no existing canon on homophobia.

[Ventheas-argent-dawn]

Could be all the non essentials spamming her inbox

[Ïrelia-argent-dawn]

@Aeílmar-argent-dawn

Irelia not liking it explains the constant snowflaky concepts

No. I just don’t react to that format of post. It is nothing personal against the OP.
I was going to call the first person who did it an attention seeker but I decided it wouldn’t achieve anything.

[Amdusias-mirage-raceway]

@Soulburn-argent-dawn

Stop trying to vicimise

And stop trying to label me something I am not?

[Aeílmar-argent-dawn (Aeílmar)]

@Ïrelia-argent-dawn

Good for you.
