Transphobia in the WoW community

Maybe more people need to read the Bible.

Funny, didn’t God or Jesus or whoever in the bible says they love all their children on earth or something?.. You would think they be following what God or Jesus said?

I’m only asking because i’ve never read the bible.

[Minnienuker-whitemane]

I think people reading it is the problem.

Neither an attack on a player, nor an attack on the OP. Just pointing out my priorities at the moment are not them.

Then go post your personal life story on Twitter or Facebook. This thread is about the WoW Community chat response to seeing a gender fluid or trans person on a video screen. Your issues are not related.

in this sort of “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” sort of way when it’s against a majority population like Whites, Male or Heterosexuals,

Oh good grief.

If you think you’re coming off as devil’s advocate or seemingly fairminded…you’re not.

[Phairi-stormrage]

its pretty phobic to say you dislike trans people. apply it to race and you’d be called racist immediately, so why would it be different for trans individuals?

[Fluffykinn-stormrage]

I really don’t want to stay in this post any longer, people being hateful just makes me upset. I feel bad for the trans employee at blizz that had to go through that verbal abuse.

[Feronar-warsong]

I turned off the comments before the stream even started because the visual noise scrolling by at hyperspeed would have been really annoying and distracting, so I didn’t see.

@Phairi-stormrage

he said “love your neighbors”

Indeed. Hating someone because they’re different is the surest way to drive that person/group away. If you want to be a force of good in the world, embrace them and welcome their community into yours. Will you always see eye to eye? Probably not, but you can still love the person.

[Baridorielor-malfurion (Baridorielor)]

Yeah, how dare i be against all forms of bigotry towards anybody, and everybody It’s a problem to be equal and actually know human rights. /s

Also, nice job intentionally missing this part…

@Baridorielor-malfurion

(And same goes for everybody else) when hatred only begets hatred.

I love how you seem to think i’m not being fairminded, when you literally just cut out that quote to make me sound like a bad person when anybody can read beyond or before that quote. The fact you’re even upset that i’m against justifying bigotry is quite telling about you Starlagosa…

@Baridorielor-malfurion

That’s not to say the bigotry you’re thinking of doesn’t exist. They do exist. I just think were too quick to think that people who are allies are thought of never bigoted or their bigotry is justified… in this sort of “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” sort of way when it’s against a majority population like Whites, Male or Heterosexuals, (And same goes for everybody else) when hatred only begets hatred.

I dislike bigotry of any sort.

Infact, that comment is about how certain allies can be actually bigoted and incite hatred… and you seem to be taking an issue with that…

Ok. Yall heard it here. Only people’s feelings matter, and only if you are a specific group. Anyone else discussing their RL problems can go pound salt. Great to know. God forbid that a free discussion of ideas was allowed for anyone but the protected classes.

Sorry you had problems OP, can’t help though as I said to start. Ain’t something I did, don’t appreciate being lumped into the community that does; hope it works out. Gonna go to other threads or probably more likely hit other games for now. WoW’s Moderators sure know how to suck the interest out of a title.

[Galsonna-proudmoore]

it says whatever people want it to. it’s the perfect hypocrites book.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

@Kainas-silver-hand

I can’t and don’t have time for you OP,

I’d say you’re not being honest.
If you want anyone to care about you it would go to your benefit to be compassionate and empathetic to others.

[Minnienuker-whitemane]

My friend, there are plenty of free resources out there if you need mental help. These forums are not the place to get any kind of decent advice on RL issues.

[Igorgos-blackrock]

I really don’t give a damn.

[Phairi-stormrage]

if you follow the translations back youll learn that all the homophobic and transphobic verses started showing up after the 1940s king james version was released. hm.
interesting.
almost like it wasnt actually written in there to begin with.
wow.

[Jayne-malganis]

Hey guys what’s going on in this thread about world of warcraft

[Igotmadclout-area-52]

That is not even close to being true. Dead Sea scrolls have been discovered you know. As well as the Septuagint.

[Callieamaya-proudmoore]

I was watched the live stream but thankfully wasn’t paying attention to the chat. People have the right to be bigoted jerk but it’s best just to keep it to yourselves.

[Vadimier-tanaris (Vadimier)]

@Tresa-eldrethalas

Where are you seeing this? Do you have examples?

It was all over the comments in the livestream on YouTube as soon as one of the devs showed up on screen.

I was very disappointed in folks.

[Keremi-area-52]

Reading the comments in live chat on YouTube were pretty awful. Made me sick.
