Nothing wrong with gay characters, but why is it the pretty boy? It couldn’t be that he’s fujobait, is it? Of course not, that’s not why so many women who play WoW want him to be gay. It’s not for their fantasies. It’s about inclusion, of course. Being an ally and all that.
How about we see some representation of less conventionally attractive characters. Where’s the gay orcs, trolls, dwarves, etc?
Well I agree… what they should do is make is not about their sexuality, have gay characters but not making it out to be a spectacle. The thing I notice that people get upset about is forcing their sexuality to the front, instead of making it about a connection and genuine love… they always seem to try and announce it somehow that they’re gay.
I honestly believe the anti-gay crowd is VERY small and the majority of people don’t see an issue. I could be wrong, but I know quite a few gay people and they’re treated like everyone else… could just be my experience.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm but the existence of the concept of fujoshi proves that the desire to see cute fictional guys be boyfriends is a phenomenon that exists across cultures and doesn’t really have anything directly to do with LGBT rights or liberation
Yes, it was sarcasm. People who want Anduin to be gay want him to be gay because he’s cute. We’re not seeing the same push for Muradin or Rokhan to be gay. Ironically it’s actually kind of enforcing homophobic norms. He’s a pretty guy who isn’t afraid of being emotional? Surely he’s gay.
How does anduin being gay serve the greater story though? I mean his sexuality is not part of the story and it serves no purpose to explain his sexual preferences in the game?
I see your thread, I respect it, I would also like to see more NPCs with physical/mental disabilities. I myself have mild Cerebral Palsy but if we don’t see any “special” representation it will not be the end of the world or something I obsess over. Not calling your post SPECIFICALLY an obsession, but some forums go overboard on that topic, and THAT is putting it NICELY. Anyhow, I love you and wish you your best life possible
I…do agree with this…it’s like there all cardboard cutouts/Saturday morning cartoon characters. “THE HORDE IS NOTHING!!, toy soldiers in tin plate” etc etc Sylvanus is BLASTING OF AGIAN!!! (I…can’t spell)
