About the LGBT thread

That literally made no sense, and had no historical references or facts.

EDIT: Please explain how having MORE (since they already exists) LGBTQ characters will stop members of that community from being murdered. Do you know how delusional you sound?

Putting LGBT characters into a MMOG that already has them is a far, far, far cry from doing anything of that sort.

I know how self righteously angry you sound at the notion of increased inclusion of gays in entertainment.

That really says it all.

I spoke about how as a member of the LGBTQI+ community I had personally experienced harassment, discrimination, saw friends publicly abused for dating the people they were dating and constantly feel the need to hide myself from members of my family. You instantly tried to discredit my experiences.

You said people made fun of you at a party, which, spoiler, happens to all types of people.

Even then, you used this as an argument for something that already exists…

Regardless, if you really wanted to see small changes in the world, you would spend your time volunteering and donate your subscription to funding those changes instead of lingering on forums and pretending to be an activist.

No Olympics as there is, and never will be, any comparison.

Except for that big post where you compared racism to gay hate to me.

Very selective reading?

Please don’t speak-down to to me about activism and volunteering. I have been a campaigner for Amnesty International for 4 years. I worked on the Marriage Equality Campaign. I work on Australian Anti-Poverty and Equity campaigns.

Wasn’t a comparison, it was a reality check.

If we’re going to talk about who is worse off, and insist only that group has any right to complain, how about the present situation of Muslims in India, or if time is not an issue and past difficulties are all that matters, how about the Israelites who were enslaves by the Egyptians?

All this - “well someone else has/had it worse” - is irrelevant crap spouted to shut people up for your own personal reasons while busily waving the virtue signalling flag.

And y’all wonder why these threads keep getting locked.

Far too late for popcorn. Want some coffee and toast? :wink: :coffee:

Sounds heavenly. :blue_heart:

No one is “speaking down to you”. If you have this much time to devote to this topic, and you pretend to feel so strongly about it, you can probably fit a few other organizations in there.

You have people on this thread who literally believe that including digital stereotypes will some how make the world instantly change. There are places in the world that have not changed for thousands of years, and never will. A western video game is not going to do anything to change that. The type of people who would hurt someone just because they are LGBTQ are probably not the type of people would would get caught playing WoW, sorry to tell you.

Complaining about something you already have is the equivalent of crying wolf (no offense worgens). People will eventually get tired of hearing you, and not take anything you say seriously. If you haven’t noticed, individual rights are actually slowly being rolled back (look at the current supreme court cases). People are tired of all the fake outrage and the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction.

Why would you drink coffee late? Do you want to take a sledgehammer to your circadian rhythm?

Coffee helps me sleep sometimes, I don’t pretend to understand. :woman_shrugging:
