It's time to talk about gender discrimination

It’s 2019, I think it’s pretty ridiculous that you still only offer 2 options for genders when creating a character. How hard is it to at least create a gender-fluid option so that people that identify as something other than male or female can feel welcome in your game? How hard is it to create character models that are “in-between”?

For the most played MMO on the planet, you sure are doing a poor job at being inclusive. I honestly don’t believe I’ll be playing any longer unless you AT LEAST begin having a conversation about this subject. As a pioneer in the MMO sector, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to take this very important step so that others might follow. Years from now, your company can be viewed as heroes by the trans community. Think about that.

By introducing Kul Tirans (appeal to plus-size people), you took a step in the right direction. Now it is time to go further than that.

Thank you,
A person that has been playing WoW since release

You’ve honestly straddled that line between “I’m serious”, and “Trolling” so well that I’m impressed.

I can’t tell for sure if Troll post, so 6/10 for ambiguity, but no higher because the content is so uncreative.

I thought that went without saying these days.

Its a fantasy video game. Your gender politics have no place here poster. You wanna rp a certain way? You can. But wows character creator is a fossil that blizz will never update to give us real creative freedom.

And as far as real life. There are two genders. Whom you find sexually attractive is private. It has nothing to do with wow or the interwebs.

Gender and whom you find sexually attractive are seperate things.

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal

Which is more of a reason to have made up fantasy genders in the game.

You can its called rp. Blizz won’t ever update the character creator to be better then runescape.

So leave the agenda please.

Dont trans people just identify as male or female still? Not some mystical third gender? Its kinda weird you assume a trans player wont be comfortable playing a male or female character.
