It most certainly is.
It is really quite telling that this post was flagged by the community, when all it was doing was suggesting that Blizzard, an ostensibly progressive and inclusive game developer, includes in its most popular game some LGBTQ+ representation in the month of the year dedicated to recognizing and celebrating LGBTQ+ persons.
I love this game, but sometimes I donât understand how dismissive the community can be of things they disagree with, especially when it would have little impact on the gameplay or the larger narrative of the world.

The quote is from me, speaking about things I have actually dealt with in my time as a foster parent. Go back and read the entire bit - not just the part about the African American child. You evidently need to since you missed the one about the child with Aspergerâs. Then come back and explain how itâs racist that traumatized children get to see examples of how theyâre normal and can have the same opportunities that everyone else has. And if you still canât see that, go do something creative with your anatomy. As I said in the full text of that post, itâs not about me⌠I view these things through the lens of a parent trying to ensure the children who have come through my home just might possibly encounter a more inclusive and understanding world when they venture forward from my door.

How about something in between? Like Elsa?
Oh wait that isnât rightâŚ
As has been my experienceâŚadd someone gay, regardless of how low-key or flamboyant, and people start getting angry about politics and propaganda.
Remember, to a good chunk of the player base, ANY representation is âbadâ or âforcedâ.

Why? For what? What does this do for anyone? For one I am of color (wether you believe it or not) and I want 0 representation of History Month in this game⌠(Assuming you are talking about Black History Month).
I think most people ( give or take 80%) play this game to get away from any real world issues or problems in this game. We donât need to bring real world things into a fantasy game periodâŚ

No but more seriously, I am a pan-sexual and I would really like to see some pot and pans story telling in the game⌠I mean come on guys itâs about time we got some pan action 
Couldnât agree more, they should all be aromantic like me. Malfurion, Tyrande, Thrall, Aggra, Alleria, Turalyon, Sylvanas Nathanos (or any other relationship not mentioned, which is a lot) shouldnât exist in my fantasy game!
Why not?
It allows people to better identify with characters? I recall A LONG time ago when Warcraft was a boys club. The RTS had at best a few name Female NPC. It wouldnt even be until Warcraft 3 before we had female units(in the case of the Horde, no female unit at all).
Skip to WoW and now you can play which ever gender you prefer and WoW lore has plenty of female lore figures.
Black history month obvious does not work with WoW setting. Having gay characters/asians/black etc however does. And adding more things, cultural things make WoW that much better.
I was always glad Blizzard managed to add abit of flavor text about Bakunawa in Hearthstone and Tikbalang in WoW, regardless of How minor.
That is stupid, if anything fantasy is a great way to help us examine our world and experience things with little to no physical stakes.
Warcraft as a series has been tackling alot of real life dilemma for as long as at least Warcraft 3(racism, sexism, defining what is an acceptable reason to fight etc).

Anyone else ever get tired of this getting thrown around? As if everyone doesnât have their own struggles. Like seriously way to invalidate everyones issues just because they are not a minority. They should seriously take away the victim card away from anyone that uses this word.

Another take on threads like this:
Let us say that I started playing a game, where all of the characters were Lesbian/Gay/Whatever. Perhaps the people who made the MMORPG, all were one of those things.
Then let us say that I posted to the forums, for that game:
âHey, how about some diversity and have a bunch of straight characters?â
See, it is kind of missing the point.

Funny thing is. I bet that would cause riots. You would get so much backlash for that request it isnât even funny. It would be a total How dare you moment.

I just wanted to link the song and pulled a connection out of my butt to make it happen.
Pretty sure Anduin/Wrathionâs a thing. Or at least heavily hinted at without China censors getting triggered. I wouldnât mind tbh.
Statistically speaking, if you looked at a room of twently randomly picked people, at least three of them will be on some spectrum of LGBT+ When you have a robust game of well over a thousand+ npcs, Thereâs bound to be some manner of LGBT+ characters that would naturally crop up, whether itâs a leading/prominent roll or just a questie npc. I think I can count on one hand the tiny snippets of lgbt+ npcs existing in game.
(Also, the question of if itâs âforcedâ or not depends more about tact and good writing. Not whether theyâre LGBT+ or anything. Poorly written female character? âugh forced representation!â Poorly written black character? âugh another case of forced representationâ poorly written white male? âWe can maturely discuss the pitfalls of bad writing and game design without accusing the characterâs gender or skin colour as being the problem. Yes indeed. I say. Quite.â )
