No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft?
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"
...queer, even.
Grammar Lesson: you're is a contraction of "you are"; your means you possess something; yore means days gone by.
As opposed to human females performing unspeakable acts with male gnomes, which is just fine. Date outside your species, just get the sex right.
Reminds me of the old "Finding Nemo" joke.
"Why are the fundies so mad about Finding Nemo?"
"Because Ellen Degeneres is in it!"
"She's a talking blue fish!"
"Yeah, but she's a lesbian talking blue fish!"
This is as I warned! First you allow interracial marriage- Humans and gnomes, dwarves and tauren. Disgusting! Now these same groups want to take a step further. Two troll males as fathers?!? This is unnatural! They cannot have children. This is not the way it is supposed to be. They should not be allowed to adopt either. Can you imagine the poor child with two Tauren daddies? Or two undead mommies? Inconceivable!
/please don't take these comments seriously ;p
The next thing you know, these same groups will be preaching polygamy. Kalimdor cannot support this! It is a slippery slope!

You know this will ruin the sanctity of online marriage.
Maybe they should create a monster named Santorum that will unleash a frothy mixure of lube and fecal matter upon the players that choose to have a gay marriage
No kidding! 99% of the time, when I'm playing any kind of game, I'll choose to play a female character. After all, why would I want to spend all those countless hours of gaming staring at a guy's ass as I'm running around killing things?

Hey, it's all 1's and 0's in WoW. And you can't have 1's consorting with other 1's while 0's consort with other 0's. Why if that happened the first time a big, nasty XOR came along everything would become nothing, and then where would you be?

oh yeah, Christians never advocate hurting others.

What do you mean you're only "ROLE-PLAYING" a female character?!
I say screw the middle man.
So... You're saying 3-way marriage should be okay too, then?
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
So punish the harassers.

Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
I see how it is... I guess I'll just have to recruit on slashdot now.

"Hey, I see you always hang around Lagamorph. Are you two buddies?"
"No, we're a couple."
"But your character is male too!"
"Yes. We are a gay couple."
"ALERT! ALERT! PRO-GAY PROPAGANDA!!! PRO-GAY PROPAGANDA!!!!"
And what is the anti-gay propaganda? "I, Lord Flagron, heterosexual (did I mention I'm straight? NOT GAY? Because being gay is BAD!) will give you five gold crowns for that grain (which I will use as a HETEROSEXUAL, because I am NOT GAY!!! GAY IS BAD!!!)

I always hated it when I accidently barged in on my roommate after he hit autorun with his female dark elf and wiggled across the vast openness of the Plains of Karana ...
They taste like crackers of course
People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them
All I'm saying is if you send 40 male dwarfs down into a mine for a month, all alone, something is going to happen. And then when Hurin Little-Too-Manly and Glib Lightboots finally emerge from the mine and return home, if you don't let them talk about things and work out their feelings with their family, the shit is going to hit the fan.
Well, duh! But why can't the stork bring babies to same sex couples?!
Since most of the female characters in game are actually male players, 'gay' marriage is more common than you think...
After all, why would I want to spend all those countless hours of gaming staring at a guy's ass as I'm running around killing things?
;)
I guess you would have to ask the members of said guilds
