The Drac'thyr are Queer-Coding Done Right!

Nothing sadder than a troll who so desperately wants attention but couldn’t troll even if their life depended on it.

Same could be said about those who pull out alts to have convos with themselves, actually that’s worse.

They stumbled when they were left behind. They’re something people can point to in order to give an example, but they’re not an ongoing presence. Even though they were handled a lot better than Pelagos, I still feel like they were pandering because of their temporary status. They were designed to be disposable.

And why is Chromie a bad example? I thought her story was kind of clever, turning a long-questioned typo into a cute little story.

See? It’s not even funny. It’s just sad.

You really want that last word… Trying to up your post count for the next thread? Asking for a friend…

I’d be offended, but trying to hold my post count against me because I don’t live on the forums is actually the exact opposite of an insult, so thanks for that!

Insult? Nah a question, tell me why do you take everything to heart?

Why does the forums get to you so much? I mean best advice anyone could give you is to log off.

Says the person who got triggered by an unassuming post.

Anyways, this was fun. Toodles~

I am laughing at all of it with friends in Discord to be fair. But again, you assume so much.

All of them are wondering what any of this has to do with WoW?

They think you are a riot fyi, do carry on!

For three reasons. One it wasn’t handled in game, unless I’m mistaken. Two, they effectively gave us a forced image of an old male who likes to pretend to be a young girl. And three, because the character was already well developed, and there was no need to change anything.

I understand what the writer was trying to do, but they fell so far short from the mark it was kind of sad. What they wanted to do was make a progressive statement and thought provoking change to a character that everyone loved… what they ended up doing was ruining a character in the worst way possible.

Huh lol
Man that OP is just weird ~ I just see dragon and elven forms.
Not sure why people like to make it about sexuality or whatever…
Seems that is all the west is obsessed about these days.

Your friends think Akroth is more interesting than you. I’m just saying what they think.

You got that from my post? Cool.

Want an invite to see if you are right?

I’m not understanding what is different before and after, though.

I do agree that it should have been in-game. But the inconsistency with the naming conventions with her dragon form has always been present. There’s no “retcon” here that I can see.

That being said, I do hope to see Chromie actually involved with a narrative. She has been a plot device time and time again, but I don’t think she’s ever had an actual narrative. Chromie Time was the closest we came, but that was just the beginning of a story without a middle or an ending.

I’m just poking, calm down. You people are taking this conversation way too seriously. Both sides, not just yours.

Maybe in 10.0 or beyond? As far as I know we aren’t sure what the Bronze dragon flight is up to in the next expansion, but I could be off on that.

Quite correct. They’ve been pointedly evasive on what the bronze flight is up to, which generally means there’s a few juicy plot points there that they don’t want to discuss yet.

I bring up that in particular because in D&D dragons were not depicted as male or female, more forces of nature or even paragons of their alignment, and greedy as hell if evil.

To be honest the first thing I thought of when I seen the new race were Draconians (evil bipedal dragons created in DragonLance).

Short story long, I don’t agree with your theory, it felt like a nod to older games, also have a nice day ill probably lurk and keep reading post

You didn’t contradict it, either. :slight_smile: Again, that’s the beauty of it all. It makes sense in the context of the game’s setting, and as you state, even in the greater context of the fantasy genre as a whole. Much like science fiction, you can touch on real world issues like this in fantasy without having a flagrantly obvious 1:1 translation of those issues.

every morning I wake up and ask myself…“do you REALLY want to subject yourself to THAT again?”
No matter how I try to avoid it…I end up here…reading this stuff day after day.

Ah, I see the thread that everyone hates is still alive and, unironically, being kept alive by the crowd who wishes it would die.

Funny how that always seems to work.
