And your evidence is? My point was even simplified, because it doesn’t take into account the nature or culture of an area. Because what I said is proportionately more likely the bigger a population center you have or the more educated your population center is.
They’re sidequests you never have to do. So no, not shoved in your face. You CAN go fight a dragon commander instead.
I mean offhand I count 10 just thinking through high profile or meme stuff (Varian/Tiffin, Genn/Mia, Tyrande/Malphurion, Malygos/Sindragosa, Mankirk/Wife, Arthas/Jaina, Alexstraza/Korial, Thrall/Aggra, Turalyon/Alleria, Rhonin/Vereesa) I’m not trying here either…

That 8% are the “Out of the Closet” people. How would any of us know how many “In the closet” people there are, particularly in conservative areas where the anti gay pressure is enormous.

Do you people just work on a hive mind of a singular neuron?
OP wants those in the closet to stay in the closet, because anything over 8% is bad and wrong.

I’m still shocked so many of you read the quests to even know this stuff is in the game let alone care in the slightest, lmao. They could have all the NPC’s be 100% homosexual and I’d never know as I spacebar everything until I came to these forums and saw fully grown adults crying over a non-issue.

I just have a hard time believing that any LGBTQ+ person would see some minor LGBTQ+ characters in side quests in WoW and would come to the WoW forums to complain that it’s “too much”. The vast majority of players haven’t even noticed it. I’m sorry but:
In fact,
We can literally see your post history. You have visited the forums since Dragonflight was released. What a weaselly little liar dude lol.
You guys are getting lazy and can’t even be bothered to troll this topic on low level alts with no post history.

OMG the hate for people not like yourself is amazing. What a sad time it is.
Please give it a break.
I honestly think LGBTQ folks disproportionately play video games. No data to back that up, just a hunch.
Either way the likelihood of the 8% being consistent from US pop → WoW pop is slim to none. Mainly bc WoW pop skews younger, and younger are more likely to be LGTBQ.
To what degree? No idea.
People are allowed to have an opinion, otherwise it’s suppressing opinions from the extreme left, which we don’t need. Extreme left = Extreme Right, basically the same.
An opinion is whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza.
Not that lgbt+ people should or shouldn’t be in games.

If it’s offensive towards the players and not done with dignity, the discussion is valid. And that’s the case in Dragonflight.
At that point it becomes not a matter of ‘if lgbt+ people should or shouldn’t be in games’
because the answer to that is always yes.
Instead it becomes a point of ‘are the writers doing it properly or hamfisting it harder than a stressed housewife an hour before thanksgiving?’
And if the general consensus on that opinion is no, it then turns to ‘how would/could you do it better?’

It is very simple, actually. Spread it out, don’t push everything into the first two zones.

Yeah I only remember two characters that were gay in the first and second zones. There should also be a character in the third zone as well.
A) depends on the kind of soup
B) naw

How was in done in Dragonflight without dignity?

Thats the problem, the general consensus is yes.
The whole second zone was very woke, which was received by everyone I know fairly badly and annoyed.
Forced wokeness within the first two zones for the sake of it. For professional writers this is pretty badly done. WoW feels like WoW starting with the Tuskarr-zone.
