Same thing applies to trolling.
If I was trolling, I would have just left it at the title and let the thread burn. But I donât troll. I explained my line of thought quite clearly.

In a game where there is no sex, yeah 100%. Political may not be the best word here.
When you push anything that isnât there into it you are forcing an agenda, itâs really that simple.

Oh boyâŚhere we go.
I believe you.
People merely existing isnât political and thereâs already LGBTQ+ characters in the game, lol

Which, as the topic states, is why Dracâthyr are queer-coding done right. Thereâs no agenda being forced here. No ham-fisted attempt to ascribe importance to a character or otherwise raise them out of obscurity simply because of their queer identity.
Itâs there if youâre looking for it. If this type of representation matters to you, here it is! And if it doesnât matter? Whatever, hereâs your colourful dragon to play as! No harm, no foul. No overt pandering. Just inclusive representation, utilizing established lore creatively and unobtrusively.

Listen. I am not engaging with a bad faith poster like you, I was addressing another troll in the thread.

I do, too! Thatâs why itâs great that theyâre getting some legitimate representation! 
- You have no idea if this is what they had in mind. You are very much impugning motives onto Blizz and their devs.
- It is much more likely that they would approach the Drakâtyr design from the point of view of their creator in the lore, Neltharion. I would very much doubt that DEATHWING would have any consideration for those kind of things.
I mean, good for you if thatâs what you see but to me it is very much the equivalent of someone finding meaning in the random arrangement of thrown chicken bones.

Absolutely correct. Because youâre the one out here with this new set of rules you made up, forcing it onto others.
My whole point is that this isnât âforcedâ upon others. Present, but unobtrusive.
You literally did with this thread. You created a set of rules that you expect everyone to follow.
Reread the post above yours and open up your perspective as to what youâve done. Because fun fact: I just had a friend send me a message, telling me they arenât comfortable playing this race now, because you just made them feel that they have to view this race in this way now.

You are absolutely correct and Blizzard has said as much (although you wrote it more clearly than what they said). I was in a raid the other night and there were only 4 of us ranged people in it. We had to take double damage from the Skolex ranged debuff because of this. Meanwhile all of the melee just had to avoid their little blue circles.
I would rather they fixed ranged damage so that people would switch to a ranged class, but I guess dragon people will help â although I think one of their abilities is such that they have to run into melee to deliver it, so that might annoy some.

Can you elaborate on this? Iâm not seeing where I make that assertion. I do see three points at which I mention that this is an unobtrusive integration, however.

You made a numbered list of rules.
And thatâs not true. You just lumped all non-binary into one category and said this is the only race that represents them. Letâs not think about how others may feel, letâs just outright tell them this is the only one they have.
Then you go on to make rules about how gender-fluid should feel and how the visage form is a drag queen.
All youâve done here is make those that donât fit into your concept feel like theyâre wrong if they just want to play a dragonkin because itâs a dragonkin. Or that they canât play this race, because theyâre not non-binary and itâs only for non-binary.
