Transphobia in the WoW community

I am one too (MtF) and I see it almost daily on various forums, stream chats (not just the recent one this topic is about), and such, even in-game after returning from almost a year away since 9.0.5 (and it was around back then too, and before that)

No, I will NOT be quiet… and if you knew me at all, you’d know how silly it is to ask that of me

Your privileged experience of apparently not having to put up with nearly as much bigotry as is typical in WoW spaces doesn’t diminish the reality that many others both inside and outside of those face on a regular basis

That’s awful.
And so much for people thinking the comments were coming from people who didn’t play the game.

I rarely see it, so I’m going to write you off as yet another attention-seeking Agenda Andy.

XIV is incredibly protective of the community, I’ll give them that. My DC treats sprouts like their own kids.

this whole 2 sides of politics and everyone must be on one is so dumb, like both sides are just playing a bunch of morons and telling them things they want to hear. Anyone that cares about politics is just so insufferable.

What I meant by “other side” is that they don’t see someone being their self. They see someone being “something else”. Why does everyone take offense automatically and get defensive? You and I aren’t even on different sides lol… I simply sees things objectively.

Again, read what I said for clarity. I’m not stating that existing to them is an attack. Hence why I highlighted only one portion of the quote in my previous post. You guys jump the gun on ANYONE as soon as you get the chance.

It’s all one big joke and one big game, which is why I don’t even vote IRL. South Park has it right when voting for either a giant deuche or a turd sandwich, and i refuse to vote for either.

how about we just come together and put our differences aside? As we can all see that is too difficult even in this little thread.

Nor is the hate speech coming from a couple people in this thread.

Are they going to be actioned??

Because the fact that they are still participating in this discussion, and doubling down on their hateful messages, tells me that Blizz doesn’t take this seriously.

Zero tolerance.

Insert trans to get hundreds of replies… if only you could market this easily exploitative topic for financial gain…

When it comes to people existing and treating them like actual human beings w basic levels of respect it most certainly is.

Having a difference of opinion on human rights is intolerance. Because if you aren’t for human rights big yikes.

Having a difference of opinion on treating LGBTQ+ people as human beings is intolerance.

Having a difference of opinion on treating people who aren’t white as human beings is intolerance.

You don’t “have a difference of opinion” on people existing. Thinly veiled bigotry isn’t a difference of opinion.

It’s never happened to me but a few and if you actually think it was all wow players in the chat I can’t take you seriously. It’s widely known people like that just roam from one room to the next. It’s amazing how stuff gets exaggerated here. Has someone made fun of me and got toxic sure but that ain’t the whole community now is it.

Some people think abortion is MURDER / PRO LIFE

some people think it’s WOMEN’S RIGHTS / PRO CHOICE.

both play word games to say they are more righteous then the other.

TRUTH IS somewhere in the middle is probably what’s true

This thread has turned into a nightmare lmao.

I have no idea. I don’t work at Blizzard and I can’t talk to the Mods. I know what the rules are, but not how fast the mods will act.

They can suspend or ban people though.

Well I don’t think it was only wow players. But the protestations were immediate as if how could anyone think such a thing of wow players. lol

Should have been deleted an hour ago.

Why? Seems to me it’s an appropriate topic for this forum.

It’s resorted to nothing but people arguing. I’d hardly call this appropriate.
