No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft?

Posted by Zonk on from the i-can't-say-anything-because-i-can't-say-anything-nice dept.

Previously, we discussed a World of Warcraft guild representative getting reprimanded for mentioning same-sex relationships while advertising their organization. The subject hasn't been dropped in the intervening days, with GamePolitics providing an update to the community's reaction. Additionally, a Cathode Tan post links to a supposed discussion with a GM that kind of wrecks their whole equal treatment statement. From that post: "[GM] Anyone can report and we will take appropriate action. While it may seem ok because they are truly a heterosexual couple in real life, in game they are two females. Please keep in mind, you need to worry about the other players. While I do understand where you are coming from, there are those who do not have the maturity"

  1. That guild was discriminating based on orientation by Jamesday · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "OZ is recruiting all levels | We are not 'GLBT only,' but we are 'GLBT friendly'! (guilduniverse.com/oz)"

    Seems the guild was created specifically to discriminate on the basis of being GLBT friendly, excluding other customers from membership of that guild.

    Seems clearly contrary to a policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. As it should be, for discriminating on that basis is simply wrong. Whichever way that discrimination is going. People are and should be equally treated, without regard for their sexual orientation.

    they could adopt if they can find an agency that doesn't think gays are perverts that will molest the child or force their lifestyle on them...

  3. Children play this game. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Children play this game, too. They don't need to load up WoW just to see /yell Gay men ony club recruiting. We take tops and bottoms!

    You allow that kind of shit and Blizzard will definately be getting letters from parents.

    Faggots just need to learn that they dont need to advertise their sexual preferences.

    I have yet to see in WoW, /yell PieEaters guild now recruiting! We are men that like to eat pussy!

    So, stfu fag.
