Oh, I liked the second zone. I was saying the third zone wasn’t gay enough.
I don’t have high hopes for this thread… more are getting 404’d, and there’s still some loud folks.
Just be humbled that you are protected by an umbrella for this offensive comment.
Gay people are being used as a beating stick for the writers of the game. Thus bad writing.
… okay, how is that offensive? Please show your work.

Well all the LGBT threads seem to have 404red lets see if this one stays up
Gee, I wonder why… it can’t possibly be the hateful rhetoric that comes out in it that delegitimizes LGBTQ+ members of the WoW community, makes reference to harmful tropes and bigotry, and just all-around comes out as hostile, could it?

adds NPCs based on Jon Waters and Paul Lynde
The user is protected as a minority to make offensive comments. If anyone non-LGBT would write that the zone is too gay or anything in similar regard, it would end in timeout for the user.
I don’t see the progressiveness here when an user tries provocatively to spit oil into the fire because they can do it without any repercussions.

It’s just pandering by a large business in the US.
They pretty much all do it. None of these interactions felt genuine.

I give it a pass because Hanu and Norukk were a cute couple.
I’m surprised certain people haven’t complained about the “WOKE AGENDA” in regards to them because Hanu is a warrior and Norukk is a scholar guy that wears glasses.

This is precisely why I said that the only hateful group Ive seen recently were from pro gay people. They have made insult after insult while reporting any opinion against them, resulting in multiple users getting suspended. I was one of them.

That means we’re gonna need about ~13,600 LGBTQ+ characters in the game, get to work Blizzard!

Please don’t forget that these are the left extremist and you can also report them. Don’t give either extreme left or right a chance, they are basically the same and are not part of the LGBT-community.
I’d been keeping this in my back pocket for a good opportunity to say it, I won’t lie. I’m just wondering if people will counter with the decent rebuttal or come up with nonsense like they usually do.
Okay but Norukk is cute. I can give a pass.
That said I’d be very open to a Jon Waters-esq character. Maybe we can throw Divine in there too.

True, I was so sad when I thought he was dead I almost teared up a bit, then he popped up and was like “looks like you saw right through my feign death!”.
Haha yeah, totally…

Nice to meet you. I’m bi. I want to preface my response by proclaiming that I harbor no ill will inspite of what happens in this discussion.
I’ll start here,
Personally, I don’t agree with 6 seperated occurrences representing a “huge amount of quests” but that’s just me.
That statistic might not even be true first off. But even if it was, I don’t think it’s realistic to use this as a basis to reel Blizzard in. They can have 2% of their gay quests, or 50% or even more than that. It’s fantasy and the ratio of representation is not really something that I consider relevant. I am happy to see it in game and I generally think the more the merrier.
Again, the goal isn’t about maintaining realism. It’s just viewing different types of stories through the context of an LGBT character.
Take Teen Titans for example. Cyborg was a controversial character albeit for different reasons. And perhaps not even necessarily for the reasons you may think.
But all things considered, it opened up an avenue for fans to feel connected. Maybe they enjoyed his backstory, or identified strongly with the character. Maybe the friendship dynamics between him and Beast Boy were relatable.
Does being 1/5th of the main hero cast equate to realistic representation? Probably not. But that was never the point.
No it’s not.
The game can be 100% gay dragons and I still don’t think it would amount to any sort of problem.
Art is art.

I don’t use the report button cause I have a thicker skin. But perhaps I should start doing so. Assuming my reports actually get answered. There’s more extremists here than moderates, which is why it’s tough to “fight back.”
