Why are people so up in arms about it now, like it is something new? It is just baffling, where were all these people who are so concerned about sexuality in the game been hiding since it has always been in game? In your face, unavoidable, undeniable, examples of it but now we have all this whining about it.

Because back in 2004, talking about queer identity was a much more monumental task than it is now.

Made all the more interesting when I could have laid out a thesis statement to the effect of this type of design is how you properly do not force an agenda. Itâs full on integration. No pomp and circumstance about it.
long live kelthyr? dracdar?
you got a nice name reserved already? Iâve chosen to name mine after Ganondorfâs last name, Dragmire, personally
I have a couple candidates ready. I really want to see their names before I commit to something, though. It would be strange if they still adhered to typical draconic naming conventions after 10,000 years apart from the actual dragonflights.
thatâs pretty fair, tbh
canât say Iâve seen much 'xâtharion names since neltharion/deathwing fell to madness
Oh, this old trope. 
âiF yOu CoMmEnT tHeN yOu ArE cOnCeRnEd!â
Just because someone makes a comment to say it isnât a big deal so that people donât blow it out of proportion, doesnât mean someone is âway too concerned.â
Letâs not start gaslighting.

Itâs generally referred as the LGBT community. Queer is generally used in a derogatory way by people outside those communities.

I was under the impression that the term had been adopted by the community as a way of robbing it of its potency as a derogatory term.

Oh gurl, get you one of them semi-colons.
The OP makes some good points. But jumping ahead⊠this thread went exactly where one would expect.
So was the N-Word.
That doesnât mean they like people outside of their community using it.
Fair point.
Call a PoC the N word, see where it takes you. Your use can be seen as derogatory as you are an outsider.
While I donât think blizz intentionally âqueer-codedâ the spec or class, you articulated it well to the point of making some people anxious in here lol which i find hilarious. Some how your opinion will end up owning a spot in some sad peoples mind thinking " i have to play the âgayâ race to try the new spec".

This is pretty good! As a trans woman I felt like Pelagos was kinda forced and they never did much with his character. Also the whole âtransition suddenly after deathâ feels weird.
And I am looking forward to the dragons! It makes me wish we had nonbinary options and more diverse bodyshapes and customizations.
