Why LGBT representation in games matters:

  1. Arguing that Warcraft is, essentially, escapism from LGBTQ+ people is not a good look, especially considering LGBTQ+ people do play this game.

  2. You cannot argue the concept of escapism when Warcraft has actively dealt with real world politics like, for example, literal war and genocide.

It is a whole different level of confusion, I won’t lie.

I once had someone say I “act homosexually” (think of a less friendly word) to get women

As I was there with a guy

Was weirrrd logic

So make your own game. You can have as much representation as your little heart desires.

135

But it’s fictional war and genocide. Unless you have some weird psychological attachment to, say, the draenei, them being murdered en masse and forced off of their home planet shouldn’t really affect you.

136

This isn’t your game. LGBTQ+ people play this game, and pay for it, as much as you do.

I would also argue that making a game that advertises itself as “only straight people should play this” wouldn’t go over well in this day and age.

No and it’s not yours either to dictate what others participate in.

And it’s fictional LGBTQ+ characters. Unless you have some weird psychological attachment to, say, the sexuality of a certain character, them being gay shouldn’t really affect you.

I kinda do. I want Anduin to marry a cute princess and make many royal babies.

It affects when they shove it down your throat.

Theres a time and a place for said topics, WoW isnt one of them, you already have LGTB characters in there, we dont need stupid stuff like an LGTB covenant.
