itâs really not.
do you do any research when you go out to buy a shirt?
do you have any idea of the conditions of the workers at each stage of the production?

The rationale for this irl is that the human brain is not fully developed until around the ages of 17-24 roundabout. But, itâs different for every person. Which is why youâre not legally allowed to drink or smoke until youâre 18-21 depending on the area.
That being said: Thereâs nothing about medical transition that is irreversible that you can do before youâre 18. You can start hormone blockers at puberty onset. It prevents puberty only insofar as you continue taking the medicine. If itâs not actually who you are, you can stop anytime.
At a certain point, you can then start cross-sex hormones, which, again, are not irreversible. The only things that ARE irreversible are not legally available before the age of 18. Which, imo, is fine.

Yes, it actually is. Your counterpoints are responses to an entirely different question. The question, âIs it okay for me to enslave another person?â is very easily answered by the golden rule. If the answer to, âWould I find it acceptable to be enslaved by another person?â is No, then the answer to, âIs it okay for me to enslave another person?â is also No.
What youâre answering there is, âIs it ethical to purchase a product created by a manufacturer that does not provide its employees a living wage?â
Thatâs a very different question, and a much, much more complicated one.
if the stuff you buy isnât ethically sourced, you are contributing to slavery.
just because you donât keep your own private slave, doesnât make it ok.

Itâs still a different question due to the number of variables. In my example, there are only two â the prospective slave and the prospective owner. On an individual level, itâs very easy to do.
Youâre introducing a host of other factors that arenât a part of my supposition, then stating that my supposition is incorrect on that basis. What youâre actually doing is mischaracterizing my supposition, then arguing against that mischaracterization. Itâs a strawman argument.
If we want to head into the realm of muddy waters, itâd be better to ask something that contains an actual dilemma, such as, âIs it acceptable to kill a person if in so doing you free a larger number of persons from the yoke of slavery?â which itself is just a slight turn on the old, âIs it moral to push the fat person onto the train tracks (their bulk will stop the train) if in so doing you save the five people tied to the tracks ahead?â
not sure how you made the jump from slavery to murder.
itâs the laws of the land which make it right or wrong.
âŠnot polls or my feelings.
there are places where if slavery didnât exist, the people who become slaves would be left to die horrible deaths.
âŠwhen people have a choice between a horrible death, or horrible life, they often choose life.
regardless, this thread isnât about slavery⊠iâm not sure of the relevance of this line of questioning?
âPractice what you preach. Live and LET LIVE. That goes for everyone.â

So, What is truly wrong with people wanting representation of their lifestyles in game? It isnât forcing you to see it, its just being inclusive. There is no such thing as taking away from others by including new thingsâŠ

Well, they already are in game soâŠmission accomplished?
Itâs always abundantly clear when someoneâs information on a game comes solely from loudmouthed bigots like the Quartering.

This is a public forum under General Discussion. This thread is here not only as a request, but is chalked full of ppl simply having conversations, and just so happen to fall under a label you apparently find offensive. My suggestion to you above seems to be the perfect resolution for your issue here. Good luck in your decision making from here on out.

There are plenty of romances in WoW and majority of them have nothing to do with story progression, even through questlines not too important in lore
The fact you donât know yet is fabulous. Also considering no one exactly talks about romance in WoW story progress is because it isnât needed. Which means there is quite a few questionable ideas with pairings that donât have lore connections or interests.
Also the games about monsters and gear not love and the community is certainly there represented quite a bit more then people realize in game.
The reason is because Wraithon just got back obviously.

Thereâs a server called Moonguard go to Goldshire, they have plenty of your representation.
No, itâs the laws of the land that make it legal or illegal. Laws can be informed by morality, but legality is not morality, never has been, never will be. Codified law recognises âmalum in seâ acts, like murder, rape, theft as separate from âmalum prohibitumâ acts like possession of controlled substances or tax evasion.
We haves belfs.
âŠand Orcs.
Typical short-sightedness and lack of intelligence; a deep desire to commit child abuse is NOT a sexual orientation.
so stay out of Goldshire and youâre good.

I love Scissor Sisters!
If you think the game is only about monsters and gear, thatâs fine, but please donât think thatâs the case for a lot of people out there because thereâs A LOT more to WoW then monsters and gear. Thereâs interest in the lore, various individual characters, pet collecting, role playing. It goes on. Yes, there are some LGBTQ characters but for the most part they are kinda hidden, the jewelcrafting quest, and Paladin Marcus, from the steamy romance novels, showing up in between a male and female Tauren in Legion. There are countless characters who are husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend. For a good number of players they would like to see additional diversity.
Iâm not sure how familiar you are with this specific thread, but itâs been locked numerous times for unfair reasons. Blizz has seen right to keep it up and allow a civil discussion. Seeing how even after all those days being locked, and a mod scrubbing certain comments, itâs still not easy to hold that conversation. To me that shows maybe they should add those characters despite those being against.
Also, to those against romance in WoW are you calling for the removal of the Love is in the Air holiday? I mean itâs an entire holiday dedicated to love and romance.
