wow! really?
Just because you can shut yourself out from the world to shield yourself from harassment doesnât mean harassment doesnât exist. A person shouldnât have to feel the need to shut themselves out at that level ever. If someone is causing someone else to go that far. There is a problem that needs dealt with.

I love how often this is brought up with no actual understanding of what it means in the context of whatâs being said.

I donât care who gets more representation. But how dare I voice my discontent with the situation. Also the reverse psychology on these threads is getting to Jedi levels.

Because youâre wishing to be disgusted and not want to see people that have no say in being born that way. Being lgbt is not a choice but choosing to hate people for such a reason like that IS

Anyway at the end of the day it doesnât matter what any of us think or feel about anything. Blizzard is going to do whatever they want with their game.

That is the definition of the haves being upset when the have nots get somethingâŚ
You really donât see how you have had plenty of representation in wow as a white straight man, but when 1 character is implemented, you go âoh I donât like this, blizz is going SJW blah blah blahâ you are the one getting triggered hereâŚyou could just ignore that character, and your life isnât changed in any way. You do not see pelegos in drag sashaying his hips and flirting with you. Nothing of your views is offended by it in game, unless by definition your views is against them EXISTING

Queer as Folk handles this beautifully.
Bit of context for those that havenât seen the show. Thereâs a teen named Justin and his parents find out heâs gay. Brian, a late 20 something he sleeps with is at his house after an incident at school. Justinâs dad goes on a tirade about how this incident can never be brought up again. And that heâs never allowed to see Brian again
Brian: So in other words. For Justin to live here with you. He has to deny who he is. What he thinks. And how he feels?
Dad: I didnât ask for your opinion pal
Brian: Well thatâs not love. Thatâs hate.

meh, personally I understand. I try to show support and am happy other people are getting something they want, no, not want. I dare say need because everyone needs to feel inclusion otherwise our mental health gets damaged. But on the other end of the spectrum. Change is hard. I have grown accustomed to things being a certain way. And certain characters like Shaw for example not being gay, or if they was. We didnât know and was free to think otherwise. Iâm not saying it should have stayed that way. But change makes people even myself uncomfortable even when I try to be as open as possible to other peoples feelings and needs.
Problem is, those people donât want change. They want anyone different to be quiet and not interrupt them, ignoring the fact they have been interrupting and hurting the others by not wanting them to get representation, and that is the wrong. They are bigoted by this.
I am not sure if it is bigoted, at least not for all of them. Dealing with change can be hard. Not dealing with change well or not accepting it isnât exactly a thing done out of hatred. Itâs just something done because change is hard to cope with. Although there is some Iâm sure that do it because they are bigotsâŚ
Yeah, accurate.

Representation. Itâs easy to represent the straight (I hate this term makes everyone else seem crooked) relationships just by children being a thing. Existing. Representation is important in all sources of entertainment because when there is nothing in it that a person can really relate to. Then suddenly you begin to feel alone.
I personally donât mind people who want to choose a straight lifestyle so long as I donât have to see it.

but that is what you are doing! You are telling blizz to not include them because YOU donât like it! Now you are quitting the game because Blizz is adding in dialog to one NPC. You are telling Blizz to shut up about it or you are leaving.
