Gloria Steinem was raiding when she used her macro to determine the sex of the boss in the dungeon. It was a female but referred to as an it. Outraged, she complained. Blizzard ceased all development on Mists of Pandaria to discuss this issue and how to resolve it. WoW had to be re-coded from the ground up to change a line of text.

This is why WoW is now shit.

I can't tell if you're being genuinely sarcastic or sarcastically sarcastic.

Makes sense. Why would elementals have gender?

Every time you mention feminist this is the only thing I see.

I don't get it. Do you think it's a problem or not? Or can you just not hear the sound of your own thoughts over all the background noise inside your head?

Did it ever occur to you that if you were actually a smart person, you would be able to think about things? (that is an honest question)

This is one of the biggest non-issues I have seen in a video game.

I'll go one step further and assume you like believing this conspiracy theory.

Ok, so like I said, you think of yourself as a smart person yet you don't like to think. Meaning you fail at the quality that defines smart. Which is why you talk in meaningless memes and dead-end your own thinking.

What, to you, defines a "conspiracy theory"?
And how does that label invalidate a claim?

Just because I haven't nuked any of your threads in a while doesn't mean I won't start back up again.

O shit you're in on the conspiracy.

You can't keep the voiceless, marginalized male minority down forever, man!

Hey, it's been like 3 weeks since our last MRA thread! And this one hasn't quite devolved into the circlejerk the others have... yet.

Progress!

I don't think feminists are ruining gaming.

I think the games industry is ruining gaming.

It's an issue that defines our time. Just because you can't see how you are being manipulated (I bet you think they give you college money because they're "nice people", and you emulate their hairstyles because they're "cool") doesn't mean you aren't or that there won't be serious collective long-term consequences.

It's been "three weeks" since the last thread but the issue is one we deal with daily. It is arguably the single biggest social issue of our time, way more important than the Iraq War or national debt.

Would you think it strange that black people feel inclined to talk about Jim Crow or apartheid every day if they lived under such a system? Or stranger that they woudn't?

I expected the thread to progress from this post but it didn't. Goddammit. Maybe i've gotta go back into the GW2 thread to get sex discussion on creatures which should be genderless.

Why don't you take the initiative?
