@Dungeoncrawl Regardless of how many of us there are equality and freedom are ideas that we should all be able to get behind. . . Further, it was left up to nature and guess what, homosexuals exist. Not just in humans either but many species. Homosexuality is a response to over population but instead of leaving these homosexuals to die they realized that they were useful to society as care providers teachers gathers etc. they didn't have families of their own so they could care for children as others gathered food and what have you. so actually it makes perfect natural sense.
@Claws I'll say it again. It is natural as it happens in nature all around us and it definitely natural in humans. Just because gay sex doesn't lead to procreation doesn't make it any less valid as sexual expresion.
@Claws It's not unnatural at all, in fact. You can observe homosexuality in many species large and small. It's usually a natural response to over population. . . Just sayin'
I haven't picked up Enslaved yet because it was that or Castlevania. I went with the latter because it was longer and has Shadow of the Collossus style boss fights. I would love to play this game and display this statue proudly.
Well, I guess if we're being sticklers he did do Dalaran fishing quest which require you fish and fishing does kill the fish. Unless he threw them all back. Which I doubt.
As a gay man (who is a gamer and has played WoW for many years) hearing these things does not personally bother me because I am confident enough in myself to know that what some 14 year old types out in their parent's basement is not intended to be malicious. However, I do understand why statements like this are hurtful especially if you understand where they come from.
Think about if you had a disabled friend and you said you thought everything bad/boring was lame. How would they feel about that? Same with Gyped, or jewed, or retarded. These statements came to be out of hatred. These words do not have "new" or "multiple" meanings they are words that were used to be synonamous with bad, or evil, or sneaky, or dishonest. So don't trick yourself into thinking these statements have morphed or turned into something not based in hate. They are and you are perpetuating this stereotype everytime you say it.
This is not say I haven't said some of these things. I've even said "That's gay" before. We all do it just don't be surprised if you get flak for it.
White, protestant, hetero-normative males don't often experience discrimination in the form of semantics so they don't often think about it. Here's to hoping the do in the future.
I think people are beginning to realize that arena broke the game and puts class balance way to much in the foreground. Wow can't be all things to all people. I understand Blizzard wants an eSport but I'm tired of everything feeling to samey.
