I call those flip flops
Just because you have to deal with it irl doesnât mean you have to have it in a game. You get that right?
Expressing yourself is fine, but why does that involve me?
But the same concept applies and for the same reason. And you get that, right?
Edit to address your edit: Because expressing oneself requires a second party. You donât express yourself to a void.

ok, Chief, I triedâŚ
I donât mind roleplay, but I prefer it stick to the aesthetic that World of Warcraft is based on if you look at outfits worn by NPCs, hero characters and outfits worn in cinematics and trailers. Thatâs what I play the game for. Goofy fun transmogs are fine but runs counter to the aesthetic Blizzard has established for the game.
So I donât see how it hurts anyone to hide that part of it for those who prefer the more serious side of the game. Itâs sliding down the slippery slope of âItâs a fantasy game, there are no rulesâ the bottom where we have Darth Vader and Hello Kitty mogs available and it devolves into Ready Player One

You really didnât. It was a silly Twitter response that lacked anything really.

Sure, whatever makes you feel better, friend.
Because itâs our expression of our characters the way we want others to see them. Not you ignoring our character identity.
Indeed.
This isnât a single player game. Itâs an MMORPG where people want to show off to others the expression of their character.
Iâve explained it multiple times.
Adding an option to ignore how others want their characters to look is exactly that, yes.

Hey, I wore a cool t-shirt today with Hong Kong Phooey on it as an expression of who I am as a person and no one noticed⌠I was fineâŚ
Youâre bringing your real life views and beliefs into this when I donât think it warrants it. This shouldnât be reminding you of that. Iâve got no problems with LGBTQ+, this topic is completely unrelated to that. Youâre trying to argue that if youâre not able to be seen in a video game by others the way you want to be seen, theyâre racist or homophobic. Donât derail the thread.â
This is about aesthetic in a video game. I like Warcraft for the original concepts of orc and humans, war, etc. I prefer the original art that the game provides over the super soakers and floaties. It doesnât happen often but when Iâm in a raid and everyone has floaties and silly cosmetic items, it breaks my immersion.
I value your argument, I simply have a different take. Gotta learn to respect both sides

Why canât we ignore your characterâs identity? Seems like youâre trying to tie rl politics to video game character fighting monsters. Seriously, why does a person ignoring your video game clothing âidentityâ matter?
People going to walk up to and comment on your spiky shoulders?

You typically have very measured and thoughtful responses on this forum, but this is an over the top false equivalency and asserting a context that didnât exist and was never brought upâŚ

You donât know that. But what you do know is that it was there for everyone to see.
You brought yours in earlier when you accused me of some pretty terrible things.
Itâs about fashion expression in a video game.
Can you show me where I disrespected you? I can show you where you disrespected me, though.
Because itâs part of peopleâs gameplay in an MMORPG.
If you donât want fashion on different people playing different characters, there are single player game options.
