In fact, it probably isn’t even some sort of conspiracy, people tend to write what they know.

This sort of reminds me of the new Battlestar Galactica. They changed a lot of the characters to female to try to modernize it and show how sensitive they are, or something. But in the process they removed all the black characters. They went one step forward and 2 steps back. Eventually they had to make a minor black character into a major one halfway through season 2.

As much as I’d love to see two lesbian NE elites going at it, it probably won’t happen. Too many kids play WoW, and it’d border on being soft porn at best. Besides, I don’t think I’d want to play a game where the male quest NPC hits on my male toon. Better yet, the man hating dike NPC who belittles all males needing the quest, and hits on all the chicks.

People come up with these bold ideas, but never really make suggestions on how to safely go about implementing them. Rather, they attack Blizz for not doing it. Shit happens and it’s Blizz’s game. They have a vision of the game and it’s up to them to decide what goes into it.

In a world where the most powerful nation (and many of the lesser but still more powerful nations on this planet) are lead by people who hide behind their religion to actively get around their homosexual discrimination (discrimination that should rightfully land them in court), the latter is all too likely.

Oh and by the way, I’m not gay. I simply oppose the blatant and obvious hypocricy I see in these cases. I find it hard to believe they can get away with such things.

Anyways, here’s a Furl Archive of the first page. FYI, I usually Furl forum threads (page 1 only) when I find them. Sometimes they go missing if they’re really good donchaknow. My entire Furl archive here.

Here’s a Flickr screenshot of the first page, in case Furl isn’t working as intended.

I think it’s very much a policy of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’, given the antics I saw around Valentine’s Day last, with all that perfume and cologne nonsense – any Alliance who completed it r teh bisexual!
