I’m sorry, but the last time you apologized in this thread, your outburst only got 10x worse.
I don’t think you understand the severity of the lines you crossed either. You owe a lot more than a paragraph directed at nobody in particular.

Yeah, well;
F them dragons. Western dragons exist to be slayed. In folklore they are monsters.
Want me to be friends with one? Bring on the Asian styled dragons. Those dudes are nice.
Western ones aren’t. And I will not stand for this historical revisionism.
Call me St.George.

I think it’s very funny you posted that clip because the point of Starship Troopers is that the humans were wrong and it was a satire on jingoism.
Congratulations you got the joke.

In case you’re confused I’m a bisexual leftwing activist from Chicago who’s been homeless and typically works blue collar.
Your perception of me as some unhinged right-winger because I don’t think dragons are people is frankly bizarre.
Log off.
I didn’t say that, but ok. Sorry I got the wrong impression, the weird sexist remarks threw me off.
I think I’m blocked oop.
It can be hard to judge your sarcasm levels since they fluctuate wildly. Admittedly I didn’t catch that you weren’t being serious until you said that was the joke.
I do feel Doness should get a more direct apology, especially since this started when all he initially did was relink a blue post.
Honestly, I care more about Baal at this point. He came here to share his experiences, and Benediktion decided to snidely accuse him of wanting to work for Blizzard. That’s what I meant by “lines” here.
Yeah I was wine drunk and in a bad mood about this insurance spat. Plus I’ve been raising a new rescue puppy and she’s such a joy but. Man I finally got my gf to take time off work and watch her and slept for 14 hours. I get so used to grown dogs I forget it’s like having a baby.
I did mean it when I apologized for my ravings. I get a little unhinged sometimes. But yeah I’m just not with ya’ll on this one.
Sylvanas I got. Because fundamentally that was… like barely allegorical. It’s a man stabbing a woman for challenging him then forcing her body to do things against her will.
I can see why that would bother a reasonable person when played fast and loose.
But, this involves egg clutches and a demon soul and it’s all an excuse for RTS flyer units from a 1995 game.
Idk seems like a reach to me to draw any direct comparisons. And as I’m about as personally connected to this issue as possible without being a victim myself I was just grossed out.
Because my feelings on the matter where the worst days of my mother and several close friends and SO’s lives were being compared to utter fantasy nonsense.
And that’s just still my feelings on the matter. Hence why I’ll refrain from commenting on this topic further.

I mean, that’s all well and good but the game’s narrative clearly does. They’re sentient and spend most of their screentime in the form of human or elf (which is just a human with pointy ears) forms. Not only are they granted personhood but Alexstrasza is very clearly sexualized.
They’re basically people with the ability to turn into super powered reptile creatures rather than the reverse.

Eh. He’s 21. That’s a grown man and I’ve been off and on these forums for years and dudes always here posting. Getting involved in drama with people 10-30 years older.
Guy needs a stern talking to. Amongst other things. I’m not apologizing to the guy for telling him if he wants to do anything with his life he needs to log off.
I lost interest in WoW when I was 18. Because I did these things like getting a job, a girlfriend and going to college.
If you ask me we’ve an epidemic of Andrew Tate fans because nobody’s telling these kids how to be a man.
And in the spirit of Father’s Day I’ll paraphrase what my dad told me;
Ya gotta stand up and do something. You cannot despair at your own helplessness. You cannot be a bystander. If you see something wrong with the world then stand up and do something about it. Don’t wait for other people to. Think, by God always think, but only as a prelude to action.
And as always; read, learn and always consider the perspectives of others who’ve walked miles in shoes you’ll never wear. Because they’ve noticed things you haven’t.
I’m damn tired of ya’ll treating draft age men like they’re toddlers. Whether we like it or not we are in one of those times that’ll be studied, examined, and talked about for generations to come.
History has her eyes on us. All of us. And I’ve no patience, no patience whatsoever, for people who want to do nothing but sit on the sidelines and whinge.
Do something. Even if it’s just knitting a sweater or mailing a letter. Too much is at stake right now to tolerate listlessness.
So you admit that you’re 30 and behaving much worse than I did?
I started using the story forums two years ago. And I mostly stick to twitter now.
That you and your psycho friend who I suspect is about to come back, try to start.
It doesn’t take much time to tweet or use a forum.
I’m a South American English teacher in the middle of an economic crisis affecting her country that got gentrified out of her home city. I literally can’t afford rent, not even a one bedroom apartment, and had to move back to my already full family house. My salary is scraps and barely enough to contribute to my home.
Have you considered the reason why you are treated like a toddler is because you make wild posts like this that completely disregard experiences out of your own point of view and make the wild assumption that every person around you that vehemently disagrees with you is actually some silver spoon baby that doesn’t know real struggle like you?

Oh. Okay. This goes along way to explaining the confusion actually.
I wasn’t talking about me lol.
And sorry I’d attempt to speak to you in Spanish (yes I know Portuguese, English and French is also spoken there along with numerous still active indigenous langusges) but I’m presuming your English is better than my Spanish
Which is crap, frankly. I keep 404 erroring and slipping back into German. I’m American but my grandparents were WW2 refugees and I lived around them for awhile and picked up a Low German Austrian dialect. Then took German in school for the easy A lol.
Anyways I’ve a very of each according to their means, of each according to their ability attitude toward these things.
But I’m a big believer in trying. As I said I’m the grandson of WW2 refugees. Specifically German ones.
The road to Hell is paved with apathy.
Also pewter spoon mainly.
My family doesn’t have a lot but they always have a roof for me. And my cousins. Aunts. Uncles. Whoever.
The other half of my family is Sicilian. And we look out for eachother. We don’t get along perfectly and there’s more than a few black sheep but when ish hits the fan we always have eachother’s back.
I’m glad to come from a culture that understands that importance. I’d be dead if I wasn’t, most likely.
Allow me to rephrase:
I feel it’s beyond odd that you have continously made the insinuation that you know real struggle and that everyone in this thread is somehow idle to “real” suffering.
People are capable, and generally can, care about more than a single thing at any given time. My current reality and the things that I do to change it doesn’t mean that I will suddenly not care that a source of escapism and a hobby has content that I, and several other people, think is uncomfortable, for whatever reason it may be. You might think it’s silly, and you know what? Fine. You do you. But frankly I feel I can afford discussing things like this.

And ultimately this is something that Blizz needs to clear up. I think everything else is just pointless arguments over an unknown variable that different people have different interpretations on due to it’s ambiguous nature.

Not a single other woman who I know of has said this about me except your psycho friend, who later decided to stalk me and my friends’ twitters, and one other lady who just blindly believed her lies. Get help.
That’s ultimately my opinion.
Because. I’ll be honest the phrase “We have to go back in time to make sure a dragon is forcefully impregnated”
Is so pants on head insane that either that isn’t at all what’s happening and as per usual people are wildly extrapolating off half finished PTR stuff which rarely if ever resembles what’s in the finished product.
Or
They’ve actually lost their minds. In which case, morbid curiosity speaking, I’m kinda fascinated to see where that goes.
Because what the actual Hell is that?
