: World of Warcraft uber-wank
I'm really surprised I haven't seen this on here yet, so I guess it falls to me.
Blizzard reprimands a player for advertising her guild as "GLBT friendly"; all hell breaks loose.
This is actually showing up on every forum and blog with even the slightest connection to gaming, but I've chosen the official forum because Blizzard deleted the first three threads that mentioned the issue, and we have to reward persistence, now don't we?
I can't figure out how to link to specific posts in the thread, so have some choice quotes behind this cut.( Read more... )
Anyway, it goes on like that for another twenty pages. I know I'm supposed to do a full report, but frankly it's making me kind of sick. Blizzard remains silent on the issue, and eventually locks the thread when it devolves into a discussion about sandwiches. Liberals are generally canceling their accounts, moderates are generally disturbed but figure it's not a big deal, and Blizzard can do whatever they want since it's their game, and conservatives are generally continuing to not understand why anyone would be gay in the first place.
