Oh great they were summoned.

I wanted to agree with you initially but then I remember my experience and have to disagree. However, I leave situations that get too dramatic. By “leave”, I mean slapping unpleasant people on ignore/mute and whatnot.

Bored and jotting down ideas. Rosenivy is Lawful Evil. An alignment that’s both fun to work with and somewhat tricky.

Its all a weird line

I guess my experiences are just different but ive been in like 100’s of discords with plenty of lgbt folk and never have I heard anyone making fun of them. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it def isn’t everywhere you go lol
 If it’s stinky everywhere you go check your boots :man_shrugging:

Sorry to interrupt the conversation on who is a troll or jerk and who isn’t, but I am actually feeling quite talkative today.

I was considering making my own thread today, but I had a think about it, and I realize deep down in my heart that everything on my mind recently, it all actually ties into LGBTQ+ issues.

The first thing I’d like to say that there is frustrating narrative that gay/transgender people are somehow a threat to traditional norm of the old days, where a straight white guy got married to a woman had 2 kids, a dog, a house white picket fence and whatnot. In my experience, this actually hasn’t been the case at all, there’s nothing that’s stopped me from having straight cis relationships, in fact the majority of my relationships have been like that.

One breakup a few years back hurt me so much, that I was having thoughts of self-harm, but it was actually a year after that breakup that I met a transgender person that that had a love of the sea that took me out into the ocean, and the waves got a bit nasty that day. When the sea got too rough, I asked them to turn back, and it was then that I realized that I actually did still value my life. They didn’t think less of me for getting scared, telling me I would be an absolute fool not to be afraid of the ocean, as they had a deep respect for it. I might have dated them, but I will never forget how they helped me with my healing.

The second point is, that let’s be honest
Blizzard has a company has copped a lot, they’ve made lots of mistakes along the way, some people have said they’ve been cozy with China, disrespected their fans with the initial Diablo Immortal thingo a few years back, and the recent sex scandals I don’t know if they can ever fully recover from that, that’s really damaged their credibility on a large scale, BUT in their defense, I will say this
when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, I would give the company a big A+, they’ve shown that they do care on this issue,

Based on my personal experience, I still think though that more needs to be done for gay rights in society, I mean right-wing media on youtube is constantly whining about drag queens or whatever else, but after dating someone that was constantly gay bashing because in their mind all they saw was my experience with a transgender person as some kind of sexual one, when in reality it was a SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL experience for me,

So I’ve formed the view that this insane incel crowd can whine about drag queens and whatnot all they like about being some kind of ‘threat to society’ or other rubbish, as far as I’m concerned, the job won’t be finished until people stop assuming that an encounter/relationship is just some kind of overly objectified sexual thing, obviously yeah that can be part of any relationship, but that stereotype needs to go,

But in conclusion I will say this, I’ve actually developed a close friendship with someone that is a strong advocate for the gay community quite recently, and the funny thing is that it’s been a combination of listening to both what they are saying AND listening to some silly incel video on youtube that is making me think twice on my position on certain issues, for instance I’ve always been the sort of person that has taken the attitude ‘what I don’t know won’t hurt me’, a real ignorance is bliss kind of approach, but now I’m reconsidering that position and view toward life,

There are still certain things that I’d rather not know, but that’s just something I been thinking about a lot


Anyway, carry on

Unless us actual lgbt try to talk about some issues. Then they start throwing out suspensions.

Has anyone here ever played those old text-based adventure games? Like Wizard and Princess, or Mystery House?

It’s been a long time but I remember playing some kind of old text based game.

It was at school if I remember right and ran off DOS

I feel this way even when media portrays “straight” relationships, in “extreme” ways. There’s ways to portray relationships without having to be so “extreme” about it. I stopped watching a movie because of the “extremeness” of the “straight” relationship they were trying to promote. I’m consistent regardless the type of relationship it is.

They were fun, though quite frustrating when you were struggling to figure out what to do next.

Or when you had a good idea as to what to do, but had to figure out just how to phrase it. get rock? take rock? steal rock? throw rock at snake? use rock? Though if they still made them, I’d like to think the programming would be better on that score.

And Zan is chaotic good dad. I could just imagine the hilarity of them hanging out together. I imagine, “Zan no,” would be frequently uttered.’

Thankfully when a Lawful Evil considers someone a friend, it sticks a lot. Word is their bond and all that.

But I’m sure there will still be the occasional banter back and forth between them lol

Lawful evil is the only evil I like at all. My favorite lawful evil character recently is a no-nonsense Hellknight from Wrath of the Righteous who will order injured soldiers executed so they wont slow them down or be captured, and who is just a prickly jerk with a nice deep voice.

He’s also an elderly gnome with purple hair.

For my WoW characters, I think the vast majority of them are probably chaotic good, just because thats by far my favorite alignment.

watching the re4 remake stuff and man. I feel freaking spoiled XD

noms on all the new silent hill and re4 news

Nice. And yeah Lawful Evil is interesting. Since to them. They’re the good guys.

Some guides on the alignment say they shouldn’t tolerate anybody weak like common people. Rosenivy is more “okay you all are neutral to me but if you get in my way, you are weak and will be destroyed.”

A little similar to this

Not the snobby sounding character. The one that goes “The next two minutes are going to be real important to you” and everything else he says at this point.
