Considering that Jaina was pardoned for her crimes against her homeland and then moments later became the Lord Admiral… I don’t think Flynn deserting the Pirate life and being turned Buccaneer by Crestfall is -That- out there. Most likely a very rare thing to happen.
Edit: I meant to write Privateer, but it really doesn’t change much about Flynn’s position in BFA.
Happy about this. Representation is good.
What an odd couple - the criminal chaotic goo-zzz character of the expansion dating the boss of what’s basically alliance secret services. I understand that he’s been around assassins and other morally objectionable people, but they still feel like night and day to me. Granted, I haven’t done the Alliance questline, so I might be missing something.
yeah man, dont you know blizzard plans this kind of stuff years in advance, this isnt some low effort fan service to make a dumb demographic consume more product based on a pair of characters’s sexual preferences
which also looks forced lol
Those dastardly capitalists, forsaking the g*mer for the much wider and more lucrative market of queer people!!!
God damn it the agenda has reached OUR Blizzard!
What can we gamers do against such hatred?
Another excerpt from the book, involving the duo in question: https://www.polygon.com/2020/7/7/21314747/world-of-warcraft-shadowlands-lore-pre-event-nathanos-flynn-fairwind-matthias-shaw-book-excerpt
anar’alah belore I can finally post links
same thing innit
I absolutely love this.
Listening to Shaw and Valeera speak outside the Embassy, it was easy to assume that Blizzard were just offering a lovely vague ending to our Spymaster’s journey through BFA. I never thought they’d continue with it!
They do say opposites attract…
In this case, it’s an Outlaw Rogue and an Assassination Rogue.
Madeleine Roux just confirmed Garlakk is gay in the canon on twitter

There’s a lot more details about the book here, for those interested.
I love her Twitter. You can tell that she’s passionate about her work – and seems very funny.
She also bench presses haters and it’s great
Who was Garlak again? Tried to wowpedia him but nothing (yet)
“The worgen returned home after Darkshore”… Like Gilneas home? It would explain why Turelyon instead of Genn would be regent if he has his own Kingdom back.
So Rokhan (Darkspear) and the mag’har sode with Talanji on the aftermath of the war
Given that there has basically been almost zero representation in the game thus far, this is a great step into making diversity more visible. It should’ve happened a long time ago. I think people finding problem with it would find problem with anything that doesn’t fit into the mainstream narrative, and have generally always been represented and had characters they relate to. If this helps more LGBT people feel seen, then it can only be a positive thing.
not convinced
If only they actually wrote decent story.
As best I understand it, fetishes are something you personally develop rather than something you’re born with. Nurture over nature, etc.
Edit: The post I was replying to seems to have poofed.
