We have a Pride Walk in my home city. While it’s a nice gesture, it’s also rather sobering, as most of the walk up 'til the most recent few decades is just a retelling of some terrible, terrible events. Laws being put into place, and later (far too much later) repealed.
People keep acting as if dismantling those horrible laws and standards over the past few decades has “ended discrimination”. That’s ridiculous. It’s only the start of a massive societal change which will take generations.
You’ve just answered the first part of your own question, with that same question. Right? Right.
You could go back to your game. What does your protest, I’m sorry, your ‘legitimate questioning’ accomplish here? You aren’t looking for information, nothing said on the matter will cause you to feel differently.
You can ignore all of it, and it will affect you about the same that it has now. With far less dead end conversation.
You know OP not EVERYTHING has to have a ‘pride’ thing? Are you gonna demand your local restaurants to do ‘pride’ things so that way they appeal more to your sensibilities?
It’s not Pride month in Azeroth. In fact, there is no pride month in Azeroth. They have never heard of pride month and if they did they wouldn’t like it either. Thanks, but no thanks.
You responded pretty much the same way I expected as well; your question wasn’t well thought out and I’m glad I called you on it. And yes, I’m quite done talking to you, I’m sure there’s a mythic conversation out there you can illuminate with your wisdom and righteousness.
In the end, a pride month hurts no one, and supports some players.
It makes no sense in the game. I don’t know how many times it has to be said that there is, canonically (Danuser confirmed it), no homophobia in Azeroth. I guess it’s too bad that the writers gave you all this world as an escape from real life issues of being yourself… now you can’t bring the oppression you so identify yourself with into it?
It would have to be something else that universally applies that the rainbow folk can coopt. I’m sure you can think of something. There are plenty of ideas.
Pretty much all of that terrible human behavior is either directly or indirectly related to the church. Our government still uses some of these beliefs. Take your concerns there, not sure how a fantasy game has anything to do with it. Or should.
I’m not gay, bi, or trans. Something, something, assumptions. I’m damn sexy though, and yes…despite your ‘protests’, you may check me out all you like!
I just have zero problem with people, friends or otherwise, getting a nod of support in a game they love.
What exactly did you call me on, asking questions? It’s always the same with you guys, if anything is questioned, it’s taken as offensive.
Do you really want to go this route? Okay, I guess you could also argue that a month does nothing because people could Google it if they actually cared. If pride month isn’t about education and teaching tolerance/acceptance, what’s it about exactly?
Once again, just for asking questions and having an open debate, I’m demonized.
If you don’t 100% agree or understand, the hate comes out. Talk about hypocritical…
Now THAT, I do. Often. Loudly. Those conversations, I do not hold on WoW. Anymore, I’ve been silenced and banned for the things I say and feel about governments in particular, and the church especially.
And, as I’ve just said, I don’t mind people getting a nod of support in a game they love.
