Showcasing a character who was previously female but is now male* in Bastion (Pelegos)
Showcasing a clearly-homosexual male couple in Ardenweald (even if they are a unicorn and stag)
Implying that every time a woman becomes powerful enough to fight back against her oppressors (Jaina vs. Garrosh, Sylvanas vs. Arthas, Tyrande vs. Sylvanas and Nathanos), she must also be rendered psychotically-murderous (see above) and, in Tyrande’s case, in danger of dying.
This is what’s known as a “double standard,” FYI.
Also, the proper term for this is apparently not allowed in the forums.
Which in turn has nothing to do with Baalsamael’s conclusion that Blizzard won’t stop villain batting the Horde, which, as I also said, I understand but disagree with.
You often seem to not understand my posts, as it has become a trend for you now.
Admittedly I read that shorthand as “sorry not sorry” since that’s something I’ve seen semi-often online, and never “sarcasm not sarcasm” before, but that was just my own assumption.
I’m glad you’ve found a way to understand someone’s point of view which you used to be unable to. As far as my understanding of your posts go: I understand it as it’s written. Perhaps you could work on expressing your points more concisely.
Well in a fictional setting, you obviously don’t actually deal with any of the downsides of dealing with such hatred. While you get clear story motivation.
This is largely what I disagree with. I certainly don’t want to downplay either your experience or, yes, Baal’s—which he has shared on at least one occasion:
White people specifically can experience racial discrimination or prejudice, but “capital R” Racism implies a societal power over white people that just isn’t there. (In America, at least. Though with cultural globalization the way it is now, I imagine places where this might not be the case are anomalies.)
That’s the definition of racism I’m operating on. If someone wants to argue for a different word without addressing the concept behind it, they’re just calling a water fountain a bubbler.
