Actually sad when fluffy fantasy game became into this. There is swtor MMO where 2/3 dialogues is flirt between M+M or W+W. Its died. If it is ingame, not out of game story WoW can be banned in our region(Russia) and China, coz of homosexual propaganda.

But also ,diversity representation in entertainment industry is or to become mandatory by law in EU and NA so most likely it will be different versions for different regions.

Apparently, it’s “neat” and even “cool” according to some WoWhead comments. I fail to understand such people.

I mean they’re only 15 years too late. I think it’s sad.

But then it’s an American company so I’m not surprised, the level of hatred in that country is through the roof.

Think so. (10 chars)

Flynn and I are old news by now. I’m sure people didn’t want to hear about it again.

To be honest I expected better from them, I mean as much as they can come across as xenophobic on many levels, being gay is supposed to be accepted in their country and since a while by now, especially if we are to compare the US to some European countries.

The worst part of it imo is that some of them, like Blizzard, are so late not because they finally came to realize that gay people exist and that is (and should be) normal, but rather only when it proved beneficial for their business. Gay people in many franchises are only there to be gay, without any better development to their personalities, so that their firms can brag about having gay people. Ridiculous.

Hate to break it to you, wow had a lesbian couple in legion already.

Game is still not banned.

This is why I’m really indifferent to this, blizzard just needs to tick a box.

On second thought, bring it on blizzard, make so Azeroth gay homophobes will implode.

I don’t think that’s the case. Some countries or cultures will ban the game if they go overboard. Not saying I agree with this, but that’s what some countries would do as I’ve seen it happening with some games and some movies. And honestly… I don’t want to lose wow. It’s one of my favorite games.

It will be cuted, especially in China region. Coz if they lost Asia region - WoW will die.

I think they’re very aware of that and wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake, because not all countries across the world have the same version of WoW, so they can censor it easily whenever need be.

For example it’s well known that the Chinese version of WoW is free from any kind of skeleton representation, and turning the above couple straight can be easily achieved.
