Though, achievements are still account-wide :laughing:

A lot of them are but I don’t really care if people know I’m a turbo casual, cause I’ll admit to that myself.

The only achievement that I found really came up a lot was when Classic was first announced there was a lot of accusations thrown around if you disagreed with people of “you never really played vanilla”.

and my legacy PvP achievement of Knight-Lieutenant proves that I did.

The ER? Something the matter?

Speaking of desserts, you should try Brazillian Raindrop Beignets, It’s very tasty and easy to do.

I don’t think I’ve called you a troll or called you privileged. In fact I think I’ve shown solidarity and support the idea of a straight thread, although in my honest opinion, the real underlying issue bothering people is misandry and socio-economic class issues. Both of which are pretty major issues that should be talked about more, but I honestly think it’s much more effective to address those points directly rather than to put it under the guise of sexuality, especially one as vast as heterosexuality. But let me get back to the point…

What I’m trying to figure out is…

Is your issue with specific posters?
Is it with Blizzard’s hypocrisy?
Is it the biased moderation?

And what exactly is expected of us here?

How is the few regulars here responsible for or going to fix Blizzard’s hypocrisy, and moderation?

If your issue is with specific posters, then focus on them. It really doesn’t feel nice for people to generalize their negative experiences and then make an entire community responsible for it. I wouldn’t want people to think badly of the LGBTQ+ community based on the T Trolls, nor would I want to think badly of straight people just cause of a few problematic people on the forums who have sprouted some pretty nasty and hateful things towards us (and we are often left to our own to defend ourselves).

Just like how there’s multiple points of view in the ‘straight’ community, the same variety exist in this community where people have different points of views and opinions on how things should be done. Sometimes I think there’s some misconception that we’re some organized hivemind or something, and this kind of thinking leads to scapegoating which forms fertile ground for some really harmful ideology.

For any one person who will support X, you’ll find another that disagrees with X. There’s no big red button here that anyone can press and say “okay LGBTQ+ agents, we shall now attack the straights.”

And to go on a more personal level, I think that sometimes you need to be aware that you create the evil you want to see. I get, at least from the points you’re bringing up, that you’re frustrated with Blizzard’s socio-political messaging and the potential harm it can cause, but I also feel like antagonizing people here is not going to get you the support that you want.

A lot of us here feel just as powerless and frustrated with things, and idk if I can speak for everyone, but I think not fighting over sexuality would be a really welcome change in this god forsaken place.

Ooh I’ve never tried that. That sounds like fun!

Ew never. What’s wrong with you!

I got a Dirty Abuelita- Mexican Hot Chocolate(iced) with shot of espresso.

And I got an asiago bagel with onion cream cheese :slight_smile:

Meanwhile in Classic, we’re fighting over Body Type.

You haven’t, no which is why I have not slapped you, on ignore. I’m generalizing what some (not all) have said and done to me.

Yes. It’s a wonderful mixed bag of a lot of things.

The “us” being “certain posters” who think they’re “right” by telling me “lol just go make one” are actually wrong and need to stop saying this because it’s an impossible achievement. But, no, I’m painted as “the bad guy” and something else I can’t say 'cause it’s against the rules.

By being bias themselves and contributing to the bias.

I am/have, MULTIPLE times. I’m usually referring to the ones I have ignored. You’re not on my ignore list, so I’m not talking about you, specifically. That’s the problem with today is that some (not all) think a general statement means them, it doesn’t. Unless you really wanted to be included that, that’s your perogative.

I never said the entire community. I’ve said multiple times throughout this thread (and even the forums) that it’s some (not all) people. It’s ridiculous I have to specify this, EVERY time.

It’s not just the T trolls.

I’m left pretty alone, too, and I’ve been responded with some pretty nasty and hateful things, as well. But, it doesn’t matter because I don’t think/agree with the clique, in this thread.

I agree. Which is why some (not all) are on my ignore list and some (not all) aren’t.

Proving my point is not “antagonizing”. There’s LITERAL proof that what some (not all) are commanding me to do is NOT working. I have to be careful with my words because that’s how much POWER and control y’all have, and you don’t realize it.

I agree, but as long as this thread remains, we won’t achieve that. Period.

They’re fighting over that in retail as well to be fair

How many people would have never noticed the change if it wasn’t for the wowhead article and click bait youtubers

Doesn’t help if sometimes wowhead goofs over stuff they data mine. ( Aka what lead to me being worried about Pelagos being The Arbiter because at first they said he’d basically get erased to fuel The Arbiter )

Honestly though, I don’t get what is wrong with “Gender.” If someone is upset by the word, then why not have it as an option to turn from Gender to Body Type, considering the game is already as inclusive as anything.

Flat out Im willing to bet their character creator screen code is so crap that they couldn’t make a toggle option work

So eh, just let people pick big or small
