You’re not as smart as you think you are. I can see right through your behavior. There’s no point in engaging with rational debate because you aren’t interested in it. Most people aren’t. Schopenhauer may have been a miserable man but he was right about how people argue and view others in dialectics.
Took you a whole seven minutes to google and repost that.
I mean, if you weren’t doing that you would have rapid fired like you always do…
Google!
Why did you feel the need to make this post, what compelled you OP?
???
I have a life outside of replying to you
it’s a cool theory and they wanted to share it?
Are you asking a question ? They liked to share it ? Are you asking me something ? Otherwise why do you like question marks?
Oh no! Whatever will I do! Some random person on the forums thinks they know everything about me because they claim they’re a scientist!
Get over yourself. This thread was a terrible idea to try to push onto others. It’s half reaching and half ridiculous.
We had enough threads trashing people for wanting to play this race. We didn’t need more fuel to the fire so that they could trash people some more.
No one should be telling anyone that this is the only race they can play as non-binary. All of your responses tell me you just lump every single LGBTQ+ person into the same category and same feelings. The world doesn’t work that way.
I don’t know why else you think someone would have posted this genuine analysis. This isn’t a troll thread or ‘bait’ despite what the curmudgeons on this board would believe.
In fact, this attitude is why these places are mostly desolate and everyone goes to Twitter or other spaces to discuss WoW. Without active moderation, places like these become infested with reactionaries.
Nah referring to your response to Thallia you poser.
See you are cute, will give you that. But an expert typing out the same amount of lines as per usual doesn’t need an extra 7 minutes to google their point!
See if I am quoting Frost I can just ramble it off. Yet every time you want to seem intellectual and try to further again your agenda, you post some random easily found line with a simple search.
Let’s say I was a TA in Uni, I was, part of my job was to find plagiarism. I know you understand how it works, since you got your degree there right?
There are keys we look for, every science based thing you have posted is a basic google search not even remotely reworded. Right down to your watermill analogy.
Yeah I am having a ball with you, please carry on!
Mostly recent conversations I’ve had on the topic in recent months trying to get “up to speed” with sociological trends and the like. Add in a little diversity training we went through at work. Mix that with the recent expansion announcement and a little time for these ideas to share the same headspace for a week or so, and eventually the connections were made.
Something I also realized: even if this wasn’t deliberate, I do think it might be indicative that Blizzard is putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to hiring a more diverse and inclusive workforce. In the same way that the existing races are “coded” in certain ways subconsciously, so too could the Drac’thyr be.
I didn’t say this was troll or bait, I’m asking the OP a genuine question. You sound like you feel personally attacked on OP’s behalf, are you okay friend ?
That’s cool OP, thanks for answering my question
You know what? I’m, just going to leave this place. Forever. This is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deeds are commemorated here. It’s a dank hole where a bunch of cloistered men with hygiene problems congregate to whine and moan about the game. It’s always been like this and it always will until it’s mercifully purged from existence.
Tseric was right, and may god have mercy on each and every single one of you.
You’re so dramatic, theater kid lol. Get some fresh air
But yeah, more specifically, I simply thought it was an interesting observation to share. And I firmly believe that conversations on the topic should be normalized, such that the content itself becomes normalized. Just like Orc males being “coded” as male doesn’t really warrant discussion, a race being “queer-coded” shouldn’t warrant discussion. Regardless, it’s still notable topic presently. And I do believe that a good amount of constructive discussion has been had here (even if somewhat buried by certain parties).
Dragons are cool. If I were going to make a dragon race I would likely do something similar to what Blizzard did. not for any of the reasons Keldar said. his entire argument is incredibly thin. Some of it doesn’t even make sense. It seems like projection of his personal views.
They are dragons. that is the fantasy they are trying to capture. That is all
Ultimately, my point is that these are not my personal views. If I hadn’t been exposed to these topics recently, this would have completely escaped my notice. And that lack of proselytizing obtrusiveness is why I think it has been effective.
Check out my post history: I like dragons. Perhaps obsessively. When they were announced, that’s all I was thinking: dragons are cool, and I’m glad that they’re going to be leaning into draconic themes. I will be playing a Drac’thyr on that basis.
I just find it interesting to note that certain facets of this implementation may be coded for certain individuals that are outside of my (and I assume your) demographic. It’s a good thing. It means Blizzard is actually listening and not just serving up platitudes.
Oh, damn!! This didn’t get 404’d? I really thought GC would burn this one into the ground
I don’t think it’s that, I think it’s just someone projecting something onto something else based on interpretation and blasting it out to cause exactly the kind of thread that this would become.
All I’m saying is that you’re being disingenuous. This whole “Oh how convenient of you to not bring this up until now” shtick is irrelevant because you wouldn’t have believed them, either way.
Nobody pushed this thread onto anyone. Anybody who is here clicked on this thread of their own volition. Are you being forced to read this thread? Is OP telling you that if you don’t read this thread then you’ll be banned?
To put it plainly, in your own words:
