I remember when communities first came out in BFA there wasn’t a community forum yet and the usual anti LGBTQ+ nonsense about “why would u want to segregate yourselves” and “this isn’t for wow forums” kept coming up, and I remember a blue commented on that and I remember being like awe, and then they made a communities forum section really soon after, that was like my first forum experience / topic I ever watched and then like never came back for the longest time.
I also think the fact their coc elaborates on
Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
This category includes both clear and masked language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which:
Insultingly refer to any aspect of sexual/romantic orientation or gender identity/expression (male, female, trans-gender, bi-gender, pangender, genderfluid, agender or any non-binary identity not listed) pertaining to themselves or other players
If a player is found to have participated in such actions, they will:
Be temporarily banned from the forums
Be given a final warning, after which any further Code of Conduct violations may result in a permanent ban from the forums*
As well as their inclusion of stories and characters in game, while a blue post would be super nice I have to say I do feel they are on the right side of things regardless, they added more chat filters against hate speech and such didn’t they iirc
Got back in touch with my psychologist and this previous month was also just me trying out a different medication that can help with some of my BPD. So a month to let my body handle it was also nice. Not sure I feel anything yet. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
Well that and I so did not want to deal with any trolls during pride month on the forums. Nasty “tradition” that among trolls every year.
Yeah I’m not like. Cured or anything. Since it’s a personality disorder. But this medication should help “normalize” my brain a teensy bit.
I tend to explain it like this. My brain tends to rapidly switch between extreme highs and lows. This medication should help make some sort of middle ground so it’s not ridiculously extreme all the time. The rest is what therapy is for if I’m struggling.
“Do you have any place you could plant some Strawberries? Fresh, straight off the plant, they have a silica salt that helps balance the brain. Couldn’t hurt, unless you are allergic to them.”
/smile
While that sounds lovely, I can’t eat a lot of fruit because they’re acidic. It agitates my chronic pain. Which sucks because I freaking love strawberries
