nevermind
20 character

As long as its an Alliance character it doesnt matter what Race/Gender/Sexuality it got my sword will cut down anything without discrimination.

Brutum-drakthul · October 16, 2020, 2:20am

As someone who hasn’t read the book/lore or whatever, was him being gay of any significance to the story at all, or was it just like “The dude’s gay. It has nothing to do with the story we’re trying to tell but we thought we should tell you anyway.”? Just honestly curious.

Beerwolf-sunstrider · October 16, 2020, 2:26am

Plenty of gay people, and such, don’t feel compelled to announce to the world they’re gay, or whatever they are… they ain’t shallow. It’s a matter of “not your business”.

And those that do tend to be obnoxious.

Thimli-silvermoon · October 16, 2020, 2:30am

And this matters why ? Sexuality of fictional characters should have no impact on your life

Johnfred-draenor · October 16, 2020, 3:42am

It has impact because i’m a minority, im constantly getting straight relationships shoved down my throat in every piece of media. It’s nice to see someone like me.

Dainara-draenor · October 16, 2020, 3:50am

I think Mathias Shaw and Flynn Fairwind may be more relevant somehow.

Thiernax is a moose now.

Unholydeath-quelthalas · October 16, 2020, 3:52am

if only shaw and fairwind were represented as gay/bi ingame

Dainara-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:06am

I’m not surprised that it hasn’t been referenced in the game yet when their relationship was confirmed when BfA was effectively over.

At least there’s potential for more stories since Shaw is the head of SI:7 while Thiernax and Qadarin will be left behind in Ardenweald in just two years or so.

Johnfred-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:24am

It isn’t represented everywhere though. You know what is? Heterosexuality.

Beerwolf-sunstrider · October 16, 2020, 4:26am

And I’m probably more of a minority than you being an asexual. But I don’t give a damn about representation to feel ‘better’ of myself, I ain’t that vain… keep that social politics tripe out of games.

Johnfred-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:28am

jfc i knew the community could get bad at times but this is just straight up aggression for no reason

Kenrou-argent-dawn · October 16, 2020, 4:35am

Sexuality and representation shouldn’t matter in games…
As long as their straight and white people only. lol TLDR of these forums as of late.
And your a drama lama if you think thats hypocrisy

Johnfred-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:40am

They made Shaw and Flynn a couple? When did this happen?

Dainara-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:46am

In Shadows Rising.

They’re also going on a romantic trip around the Eastern Kingdoms in a new story that is due in just a few days.

Johnfred-draenor · October 16, 2020, 4:47am

Thats SO CUTE, I love them omg!!!

Lunaera-kazzak · October 16, 2020, 4:49am

Move I’m gay.

Bjornson-nordrassil · October 16, 2020, 4:53am

Aren’t we discussing this type of subject too much the last few months?

Kenrou-argent-dawn · October 16, 2020, 4:55am

We are… And I keep seeing ‘‘it shouldn’t matter or have any place’’ being brought up a gazilion times… Yet the ones it matters too the most and who brings it up the most. Aren’t even the minority represented… Go figure

Lynlia-silvermoon · October 16, 2020, 4:55am

Honestly. Why does this even matter? I really dont care who loves who. Both rl and in-game.
