The High Elf Containment Thread

No, you’re whinging at me about something that happened several days ago, in regards to a term that is often used in a derogatory way, and expecting me not to call you dude because for some reason you’re annoyed by it.

Get over your victim complex dude.

It isn’t dude. As I said, that’s just you assuming I aim to insult you.

Ok, not going to pick sides here, but…

Girly adjective

  1. characteristic of or appropriate to a girl or young woman “girly pink paper”
  2. depicting or featuring nude or partially nude young women in erotic poses. “girlie magazines”

noun

  1. a girl or young woman (often used as a term of address). “what’s your name, girlie?”

Dude noun

  1. a man; a guy (often as a form of address). “hey dude, what’s up?”

verb

  1. dress up elaborately. “my brother was all duded up in silver and burgundy”

Not sure on how girlie is an derogatory term while dude isn’t considering both have similar meanings just opposed to the gender of the person.

But as I am saying, not picking sides here.

Which is what the other user assumed about me and given the context it was blatantly obviously untrue, and also wasn’t speaking to that user or about them for that matter.

I don’t mean to insult you, but,

That means its still an insult, and it means you’re still picking sides.
Girlie is indeed used as a pejorative term at times.

Dude, I seriously don’t care about it. I am just going to ignore you if you keep whinging about it.

Then do so it is fine, but you lose all credibility about Pro HE’s not calling out their own.

Oh no…I lose credibility with Lann, who accused me of gaslighting him by attempting to help him with the timeline of his quests.

Welcome to a public forum Lann. People can respond to you even when you are not addressing them. Get over it. Quit acting victimized all the time.

Funny I also see a lot of antis playing the victim card, and I would be willing to defend them if I thought you defended Pro’s as well.

But what you’re saying is you don’t, and thats an act, and that is FINE its okay, I know where it stands, and you all stand.

Back to show my support for HE’s and the kind forum posters I see comment in support of HE’s.

I don’t take girlie as an insult. I have been called a dude, man, girlie, even been called a b***h. I don’t find it insulting.

Thing is, everyone is different. You can think girlie is used as a pejorative term, dude can also be used as a pejorative term as well.

And the context in that the user that took offense was not being spoken about or to, and it was a friend.

And? What you find personally insulting does not change that being called a female dog or girlie are terms that are used in a derogatory sense.

Not really, you’re only saying such because you’re hard up to bat for anyone who wants high elves. Just like Lann is quick to laud unnecessary amounts of praise to anyone who wants high elves as well.

This conversation is a waste of time on all parties parts.
His for bringing it up.
You for defending it.
Me for bothering you entertain either of you.

Moving on now. If you can’t do the same then tough stuff.

I agree, I do not find being called girlie, or dude to be to be offensive. @Lann, You calling me girlie didn’t offend me. I want to clear that up just encase you thought that it did.

And what does wanting High Elves have to do with anything about pejorative terms as well?

Thank you that means a lot, I’m a naturally sensitive person which is my own thing, but I have been trying a lot harder to see the good in forum posters from the opposite side of this argument. And the policing of speech I used in the context to someone I view on friendly terms did not seem in any way shape or form anything other then trying to grief me for no reason, and it did bother me because I always value conversations with you and felt it tried to seek the most obtuse reference of the word to make it seem I paid ill intent with it.

Absolutely nothing.
This entire matter was brought up by Lann, and then YOU decided to come in swinging on his defense.
Now you are acting as if I brought this up?
Please refrain from acting so obtuse. Its a forum, not a verbal discussion.

It doesn’t affect me either way Lann. Your justifications are nothing new.

He’ll be fine. If anything he needs to learn not to take everything as a slap to the face. :man_shrugging:

Because as a Blood Elf, I find those Alliance Elves still calling themselves High Elves to be extremely offensive. Why I gave up being a High Elf to honor the memory of all those that had died. Now there’s some group running around with the Name High Elves. How are poeple going to know what group I’m honoring with the name. Awfully hard to honor the memory of something that still exists. So them High Elves have made it so that all my sacrifices were for nothing. Everything I did, I did it for nothing. :sob:

Oh, Gnomest was talking about Goblin Demon Hunters the other day, and how there jokes should be. I laughed hard at this one

“I sacrificed my bank account, what have you given”

:rofl: I don’t think any sacrifice can beat that one.

Which would indeed be quite a sacrifice for a goblin.

Not that I’m against high elves, I think the high elf fans aren’t talking much anymore, seeing as all 3 high elf threads are lead by heavily anti OPs.

I do respect the few who are still here though.
I really do hope they’re eventually playable. Would be fun to RP with fellow quel’dorei or just actually see them as players rather than npcs.
