It’s not a nice term at all. Not something that should be used for a friend.

I wouldn’t worry about the HE discord has been nothing but full of the kindest people, sharing incredible artwork, and conversation. This is just negative speculation.

oh yes, this can get very specific . once language policing kicks in, nothing is safe. common sense goes whoosh outta window

yeah i eat fish too. and the fish on fridays thing was never mandatory as far as i know, just a tradition. i was just getting the point that once we start letting people change our language, then comes all kinds of silliness, some of it delicious and good with fries and vinegar, and some not.

I’m letting it go, utilizing the mute character option in preferences Blizzard provides, people know what it is.

In other news I saw a concept of a playable HE again in Farstrider attire and it made my heart drop!! :heart_eyes:

Farstriders is a Horde alligned organization.

That was probably just a blood elf.

Is it? I’ve seen it used by those with southern dialects, albeit sometimes used in a way to talk down to somebody. Doesn’t seem intentionally harmful in the way he used it though

I’m gay and I’m going to be honest I use it all the time and this attempt to police my speech feels well
 I’m not gonna name it for the sake of the thread so I suggest we all move on.

EDIT: would I use inappropriate words no, the amount of times I’ve been offended at being called bud at the end of a condescending personal attack I can’t even count

Like a couple days ago where I linked the incident in question and pointed Leinadh at the text in question where the person did exactly what I said and he dismissed it as nothing because the jerk on the discord (who’s not in these forums) said he was just joking.

Leinadh got it right. And no, not a lie at all, it’s still up on our discord, and as I said I gave him the proof and he blew it off. So if you don’t actually know what happened don’t go yelling that I didn’t see what I have seen.

I read the conversation its not what you described,

Looks like he came to your discord per request, explained why a person was removed and why another was demoted, which was nice of him because what goes on there isnt really any of your business, but he was professional and courteous unlike how you guys are describing what went on.
