I’ve never understood the need to keep putting one’s hand in the fire, and not learning the first time.
It’s the internet, weird people happen.

I don’t know if any of this is true OP and honestly don’t care but if this happened in Discord and you expect Blizz to do anything about it , well they can’t . Blizz has no say what happens in Discord even if it is being used by people playing Wow at the time .
Now if this was in Blizz’s own text or voice chat , that would be a different story .

And now, because you slung mud yourself, you sunk to their level. And depending on what the three of you said in game chat, y’all could be the recipient of action yourself.
Blizzard has said, don’t respond just report. If you respond you’re just a guilty as the idiot that started it.
Next time, just leave.

Hindsight 20/20 but you’re right.
When we did go back and forth, we never engaged in their same toxicity. We were simply just defending ourselves and wondering why they were harassing us more than anything else, this of course empowered them to be more toxic.
Don’t get in Discord with people you don’t know, please. I don’t recommend it ever. If they need to tell me something, they can tell me in instance chat or WoW’s voice chat. If they want me to visit a third party website so they won’t be held accountable when they cross a line, I’m not interested.

Mhm we learned our lesson, I figured it was a raid and they wanted to be more organized as a PUG so we joined.
Never again

If a raid advertises voice chat, I don’t sign up for it. If a raid group doesn’t advertise discord and they link it, I tell them no thanks. If they kick me, so be it.

I am glad you are reporting this to Blizzard and Discord. it should not have happened and the people involved should know it is unacceptable behavior.
But I am going to warn you here and now if you think there is harassment at this stage of your relationship, when you add children to it, that harassment will become tenfold.
Be prepared to be reported over and over and over again for child endangerment/abuse. Be prepared for your child/ren to not only suffer harassment from the other children at school but from the adults there as well.
Make sure you are in touch with your local advocacy group. They will be an indispensable source of support and assistance.
RECORD visits with any case worker on two devices (ie a phone and a teddy nanny cam). If the case worker turn out to be decent, make friends with them as they can mitigate a lot of the harassment from that agency. If they are a bigot, you will have proof needed to request another case officer.
Vett any schools. Talk to the principle, teachers, councilors, make your situation clear, watch their reactions, ask then about their harassment and discrimination policies and don’t be afraid to make those questions specific and pointed.
Most of all, make sure you have a good lawyer with experience fighting this type of harassment and discrimination and the funds to pay him, just in case. Having to make the choice between having one of your partners at home or having your child at home while waiting for your case to come up is heartbreaking.

The most I’ve heard in Discord is the typical “a girl playing wow?” joke, but I’ve never heard any cat calling. I’m sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Why did your GF not immediately leave group? I mean, that’s what I would have done if my friends I joined a group with were kicked. I’d quit faster (if it were even possible) if it was my husband who was kicked.

We were honestly shocked too, never seen something like that before.
I think she got emotional about it all, stayed in there to give them a piece of her mind which is obviously not the best idea and that’s when they were harassing her about her body and making sexual comments about her and that’s when she left crying.
Definitely an understatement. Hope Blizzard pays attention to your complaint. Of course, they won’t tell you about any possible discipline that occurs, but at least you made the report.

Yeah, thank you! We had a talk with her also, and she agrees as well it wasn’t the best idea.
Cooler heads def. prevail, but we shall see what the GMs say.
Y’all dumb. Also, apparently only you were kicked out of the raid group (referring to the title). She wasn’t, although she obviously wasn’t going to stay if this actually happened.
And as folks have mentioned before, Blizz isn’t gonna do a thing about what happens outside of the game. Doesn’t matter if you have recordings or screenshots or anything. If it’s not something that’s on their platform (which they can access anyway without you needing to provide it), they aren’t going to act on it.
If this is real…
Don’t tell, didn’t ask.

There are a lot of bigots out there. One of them just shot up a grocery store in Buffalo. It’s sad but it’s the reality we are living with today.
Best thing to do is go find a group run by decent people who are not on the side that believes in “Replacement theory” and hero worships a guy who brags about sexually assaulting women in the work place.
Those people are losers. Find a better group made up of decent people.
