Don't Mind the Frothing, It's Probably Not Contagious
Posting this here, as I don't want to actually get involved in the wankfest, but aaaaargh must say something somewhere *froth* Basically, WoWInsider posted a short interview with a GBLT-positive guild on US-Proudmoore. There were a surprisingly large number of positive comments, but of course the inevitable internet wankfest occured (complete with Godwin!), and in among the back and forth, there was a special little comment that got looked over in the general melee, and made me seethe with rage.
Wait wait wait, so I'm 'weak-willed' because I don't want to have some stupid fifteen-year-old try out his crappy pick-up lines, which can only end in me saying 'STFU, I have a boyfriend already; and if I ever find out where you live I will come and personally kick you in the gonads to ensure your stupid does not spread', every time I try to do a pick-up group for something? I play WoW to relax and have fun, not to be an activist - it's not my job to teach idiots I don't know on the internet how to be mature and respectful.
....There, that feels a little better now. I almost want to go roll and alt on Proudmoore, because that guild sounds full of win and awesome, but I have too many alts, and I don't think I could leave my awesome DotA gals ♥
“On gender, think of all the women who play WoW and refuse to talk on Vent in fear that they'll be hit on or people will freak out.”
Then theres a good chance that they have a weak character (Not speaking of their in game characters). I know plenty of women who play WoW (Including the one who first got me playing), and none will be so weak as to not speak out of fear.
