Transgender day of visibility

real people play these games

@Liotuse-wyrmrest-accord

yeah dude like video games have never had social, political, or other realistic and discussed themes before lol

Not saying they haven’t, saying I don’t like people bringing in things like this into a videogame. It is not politics 101 or anything of the sort. It’s a videogame.

Trans people play the game too.

[Phoenickz-sargeras]

@Clarke-wyrmrest-accord

Trans people play the game too.

Nobody is saying they don’t, myself in particular. I’m saying keep politics out. That’s literally it.

[Liotuse-wyrmrest-accord (Liotuse)]

nothing political about a human being’s identity

Trans people aren’t political. They’re people.

It is political.

@Clarke-wyrmrest-accord

Trans people aren’t political. They’re people.

I dunno whether you’re trying to be a smart allec or whether you’re actually serious with that statement. If it’s area 1, you got me good there.

[Liotuse-wyrmrest-accord (Liotuse)]

@Phoenickz-sargeras

It is political.

if other people’s personal details, identities, and lives bother you so much go play a singleplayer game like Pac-Man or Xenogears or something, my friend

[Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord]

Imagine a trans person talks in a voice chat call and gets misgendered.

The trans person gently corrects the misgendering.

Half the forums: Reeeeeeeeeee stop bringing politics into the game reeeeeeeeee!!!

[Liotuse-wyrmrest-accord (Liotuse)]

when i get home and i want to escape from the real world, i like to sit down in a social video game like an MMORPG, one of the biggest ones around, and interact with other human beings that have their own lives going on and are also playing this potentially incredibly social game

just don’t tell me anything about you though whether you had a hard day at work or you tripped while walking your dog

wouldn’t want to get too political

They don’t bother me. Is there a male day of visibility? Is there a female day of visibility in this game? How about the rest of the LGB somethingsomethingsomething’s at this point. I can’t keep up with the acronyms as it’s too many, but, main point is; no and not to mention, again, it’s a videogame. Stop trying to bring politics that aren’t already there into it.

@Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord

Cool, you corrected them. Problem fixed and solved. Just the same if someone didn’t say your name correctly. It’s just one and done.

@Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord

No, this exact topic is political nonsense. What does it matter what you are? You are you, and you’re good the way you are. Don’t need a trophy for it or a spotlight.

[Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord]

I’m a cis lesbian thanks.

International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual event occurring on March 31 dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society.

[Muram-bronzebeard]

Bringing your sexual identity up in a mmo is stupid… no one cares. Demanding Blizzard make a community and do special things for you is just plain ridiculous and attention seeking.

I have never seen a guild/raid/M+ in lfg with “+12, dont join if your trans.” If your telling people you dont know online on a game that has zero to do with an person being gay or trans then you are 100% seeking positive/negative attention. No one cares if your a Tank/DPS/Healer who is trans… only that your doing your job.

[Phoenickz-sargeras]

@Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord

Ok.

@Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord

The entire point of trans day of visibility is to raise awareness that trans people exist within communities and are people just like everyone else.

Everyone already knows that they exist. Why does it need to be a parade? I don’t see any lesbian parades. I don’t see any cis parades. I don’t see any pan/bi/ X parades. Again, it’s political nonsense that is brought up because people feel left out. You’re not left out, everyone is left out, because we are people. You are you, don’t need to be raising awareness because the ones whose opinions matter most already know you. Why is that never enough for people?

@Muram-bronzebeard

Bringing your sexual identity up in a mmo is stupid… no one cares.

Exactly! It’s a game, not a sex dating app or anything else. Just stop bringing nonsense in.

@Phoenickz-sargeras

Is there a male day of visibility?

november 19th

@Phoenickz-sargeras

Is there a female day of visibility

march 8th

@Phoenickz-sargeras

in this game?

no but it wouldn’t hurt to be considerate and respectful of other players

@Phoenickz-sargeras

How about the rest of the LGB somethingsomethingsomething’s at this point.

june in honour of the Stonewall riots, IIRC? there’s also a coming out day in october 11th and obviously march 31st is transgender day of visibility

@Phoenickz-sargeras

I can’t keep up with the acronyms as it’s too many

LGBTQ+ there, boss - you can write out all your frustrations on the forums but can’t stretch your fingers out for like 3 more keys?

@Phoenickz-sargeras

it’s a videogame. Stop trying to bring politics that aren’t already there into it.

there’s always been mild (albeit terribly shallow and not quite enough representation) hinting at some same sex couples and then there’s Mathias/Shaw now and a transgender character in Hearthstone and i’m pretty sure some of the Kyrians are trans

were you also upset at humans getting more diverse facial features, hair textures, and skin colours? elves?

@Muram-bronzebeard

No one cares if your a Tank/DPS/Healer who is trans…

bigots do, lol

some people get nasty on the internet behind a keyboard

So do you tell every straight guy who talks about his girlfriend or wife agroing on him to shut up about his “sexual identity”?

Did you protest Thrall getting married for promotion of the het “sexual identity” politics?

Also

Transgender has nothing to do with who you have sex with.

And how would they know? Oh yeah because you join a random group and say “Hey, I am trans and you will refer to me as they and if you dont I will go post about how mean you were on the forums!”

Again, no one asks because no one cares.

ah yes, raiding groups and guilds and communities don’t exist where people don’t learn about each other on a personal level it’s all business all the time did y’all remember to bring your flasks

[Elainia-grobbulus]

Where did all these based human male paladins come from all the sudden o.o.

[Truthspeaker-wyrmrest-accord]

I have a guildmate who is nonbinary. They have to correct people from time to time.

We don’t have any problems because we kick people who are not LGBTQ+ supportive. But people come from other servers to ours to escape bigotry and harassment for being LGBTQ+.

[Muram-bronzebeard]

I cant say this enough… NO ONE CARES. People don’t play WoW to hear about who some random person sleeps with, they dont play WoW to hear about what you want to call yourself, they don’t play wow to hear you complain about how you told everyone you think your a unicorn and they laughed you. Keep it to yourself. People play WoW for many reasons none of them is so you can have a pedastal so they listen to you whine.
