| Quote: | | # Is Blizzard Anti-Gay? - It seems that Blizzard, however inadvertantly, is discriminating (thanks EvilAvatar) against the gay/lesbian community in WoW: Sara Andrews thought it was a big misunderstanding when she received an e-mail from a game master in Blizzard Entertainment's popular online role playing game "World of Warcraft" citing her for "Harassment - Sexual Orientation." |
People's real world sexual orientation really has no bearing on the game and should be kept out. I think Blizzard did the right thing, the majority won't have a problem with it but a miniority on both sides will see it as an excuse to cause trouble and thats not what the majority pay $10 a month to see.
If we put the sensitive gay issue to one side. If I started a "I love them big titty women" group I'm sure it would receive similar attention. In fact in this case I believe Blizzard only gave a warning rather than the required suspension because it realised there was no malice intended. |

| Well, i kinda do understand their(GLBT) situation. And their search for friendly(OK, I dont give damn etc.) GLBT people. As there is a shit load of moron,s out there. Its toooooo often that you encounter some1,s rage. When it seems more of an frustration, hopelessness, disaccustom and fear cause. And as an effect these "moron,s" use words like "gay, faggot etc." in an denigratory way. |

| You raise a good point but then I guess the same policy would apply to those idiots too and I doubt Blizzard would be so lenient. I guess when people are talking and working together some personal details will come out. But still, advertising something that makes you a minority is always going to bigots going. |
