Why LGBT representation in games matters:

I just respond to posts as I get to them .

You can do the same, just by editing your first post and to attach the quotes of the people you want to reply to. Have some manners

I’m not going to copy every quote from a person I am replying to .

I’m not going to reply to multiple people in one response .

I am going to be respectful and respond to each person individually .

If there is a time where I see 2 or more posts exactly back to back then I may respond to all at once.

Well it’s considered disrespectful, and blizzard won’t let you do double posts if you keep doing it too. I have accidentally done the same thing.

That’s a nice double edged sword there. There is no right course of action as the people against inclusion can view either choice as wrong.

No matter how eloquent the writing is, a new character is seen as forced in or tokenism. While an existing character, no matter how long they take to explain closeted behavior, and internal struggle about when to come out, will be called out as a retcon.

They’ll stop me at 3 until someone else posts . I can live with that and really it isn’t disrespectful . I am just commenting on posts I see that were made while I was at work .

Have some respect for other posters

Somebody will always complain no matter what, but personally I’d prefer new characters.

Changing an existing character just feels cheap to me and my investment in this begins and ends pretty much with just wanting interesting, well written, and believable characters(not that WoW does the best job of this either way, but still).

So bring on the new characters, and let the old ones be what they are.

Because then you bring yourself down to the same level. It just makes you look bad and less likely to be taken seriously.

Not that I’m particularly taking you seriously to begin with because you seem to have set your course and will not deviate from it. You (like some others) respond to disagreements with insults, which simply escalates a discussion into a juvenile shouting match, which serves no one.

Let me try to summarize my position before i withdraw back to the audience on this one.

I have no problem with “reasonable” representation of social concepts in the game.

I do have issue with forced social concepts, and representation for it’s own sake, because to me that sounds like trying to claim priveledge from victimization, which concept I disagree with.

Blizzard so far seems to me to be doing just fine with representing LGBTQ characters in the game as they have already done, and I have no objection if it continues in that fashion.

I disagree with those demanding more than that because i see it as uneccessary. If it should happen, it will not cause me to stop playing, as it is still easily ignored.

Now i’m going to sit back and see how long this thread fire keeps going.
Kthxbye.

It still don’t…
But um. How about we get some more straight romance in this game too. There like one straight romance since Warcraft was created that hasn’t ended in death but they added two lgbt in this one expansion…

“The only one I recall, that ended in ‘death’, was Mankrik. What others are you referring to?”

Stop, Overall that crap don’t happen anymore. Stop the victim card already. It’s pathetic. And these days you do get crap for being straight. Let me have a straight parade and you folks with have a crap fit! So stop. Just stop. Even other LGBT people are telling you all to stop.

Yet you won’t because as I said before being a victim is easy and a full time job.

“You’ve never been oppressed for being straight.”

“You’re a bigot because you are expressing a straight idea.”

…???

Jaina with Rhonin is one I can think of. Varian Wrynn wife who died in pre-lore Is another… I bet there others but I can’t think of any more.

Also there three lgtb this expansion. I’ll give a like to anyone who can guess them. Hint: one was not told in game

“Then there is Thrall and Aggra, Malfurion and Tyrande, and Jania and Kalecgos. None of which ended in death. I believe there are more, but my memory is failing me right now.”

“Edit: Genn and Mia are both alive too.”

Sorry but if you want to reflect me equitably on the spectrum then I need specifically straight white male atheist clinical depression and anxiety representation.

I’m really not seeing any of that.

Unless we’re in the middle east we do.

“Are you addressing me?”
/curious smile

My dad died when I was young, my mom and I don’t talk, I am straight.

I was bullied in school for multiple reasons, one of them being that a person I knew went on a ride along with a cop, the cop revealed information to him about my older brother’s criminal record. That information spread like a wildfire and it served to have a negative impact throughout my elementary, middle school, and high school years. Including fights and beatings yes.

No, but you weren’t either.

You’re absolutely right, lets stop pretending that everyone has the same life because they are straight or lgbt or whatever. We all go through things and we all struggle. It’s part of the human experience. Get over yourself.

Can’t say I expect anything beyond a witty and offensive retort boiling everything down to my life being perfect because I am straight, because you don’t actually give a crap about anything but your own distorted view of some experience lived by someone else a century ago. So I wont be checking back in.

This is a pointless topic.
