My GF and I were harassed for being Bisexual and kicked out of our Raid group

Community General Discussion
1

Hey all, so this kinda caught me by surprise but I play this game with my two partners. We have somewhat of a complicated relationship, it’s myself (26M), my gf (23F) and our boyfriend (28M) and we all live together and essentially do everything together as we are looking to eventually get married and have children soon.

I understand our relationship set up is a bit unorthodox to say the least, but we are all great people and if you met any of us inrl we’re very easy going and love chatting with folks!

So typically we don’t play together all the time, but this time we decided to join this raid group off LFG and so my partners and I jump into their Discord and everything is normal. It’s nothing odd.

We then had the raid lead doing name check to make sure we’re all on Discord, and he called out our girlfriend’s name and she responded and the raid lead and I guess some of his friends started cat calling her.

It was very weird, and creepy and they heard she’s a woman so they started asking her what her real name was and if she has anyone to play WoW with and stuff like that.

Naturally myself and our boyfriend start to open our mic and we let them know she’s taken, we’re in a relationship and this starts this whole discussion about us and we started getting laughed at and in the end the raid leader kick both me and our BF and kept our GF in there.

The raid lead whispered me in-game and called me the “F” slur and told me to gtfo, and our GF came out of the call crying because apparently they had started asking her very personal questions about her body and stuff after they had kicked us out.

We of course reported the people in the raid, reported their Discord server to Discord and we also recorded this on video and will be uploading it later tonight when we get more time.

I just am at a loss of words, I know there is a Social Contract coming out soon so I hope that maybe curbs this rampant homophobia and womanizing culture that exists in Retail.

It’s fine, we have video and will be submitting it to Blizzard as well as YouTube if anyone cares to see it.

I doubt we can even post it on YT considering they were dropping heavy language throughout the Discord call.

You can post it just won’t be monetized. But you don’t want to make money off this right?

Honestly idk if I should even post it, too many people already are just saying it’s not real and I highly doubt anyone but Blizzard will care enough to do something about it so we’ll most likely end up sending it to them in hopes that they respond and ban these bad actors.

So you refuse to prove it because people don’t believe it? Sooo legit.

Question comes to mind…

What situation came up that it required to know your preference and relationship in a raid? Unless you was running your mouth trying to impress.

You know next time I would post first then link it.

People usually are shocked when they see it, when written they tend to doubt.

Best of luck though!

because previous experience tells us its likely fake, and your unwillingness to prove it when you said you recorded it reinforces that belief.

Speaking in Discord as a woman.

I want to say kidding, but in random groups people can get weird.

It’s just overwhelming you know? I posted this to vent, ofc I figured people would troll this topic and call it fake or w/e even with proof but at this point people are just blatantly being offensive.

We’ll still post the video I guess but we want to give it to Blizzard first, we’re opening tickets with them atm and speaking with a GM so will update you guys.
