There's a bingo tile in here somewhere...
For those of you who are not familiar with Warcraft, I'm sure you can still deduce that it's not a good idea to throw around derogatory terms like 'fag' in a community that is largely comprised of women and/or gays. Right?

[info]lougara would not agree with you. Because it's perfectly ok to use such derogatory terms on a community with over 6000 people on it!

She does apologize, sort of. In a 'sorry but I'll still do it if I want to' sort of way. Also, she is bisexual so it's totally ok!

Then she leaves a happy little love note on her friends only page on her personal lj.

What happened on WoW.com? I finally broke myself of the habit of reading comments.

And now, I'm going to go hug everyone in my totally PC guild, who dogpile people who go "That's gay" in gchat.

GLAAD fights homophobia in online communities like WoW.

The ridiculous amount of "why are you not being tolerant of my intolerance!?" is not as astounding as I wish it were.

I should know better than to ever read gay-related posts on wow.com, but my trainwreck syndrome, it is strong. :(

I saw that one appear on WoW.com and deliberately didn't look. I knew I was going to want to choke people.
