Male Blood Elves Get Pumped Up
Kotaku reports that the Male Blood Elves, from the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion Burning Crusade, have been made more masculine by their Blizzard overseers. Which totally makes sense, because when I think elves I think paragons of masculinity. From the article: "You changed it because your constituency is a bunch of capslock-riding asshats who are threatened by bishy player characters. The reason Blood Elves were Horde in the first place is because everyone was whining about all the Horde races being ugly juggernauts. The point of Blood Elves was to inject some swish into a very physically intimidating set of races. They're not exactly chunky now, and I do not begrudge a game company making prerelease aesthetic changes, but their reasons for doing so are pathetic. " Before and after photos are available in their post.
The guy is obviously a roaring fag who is looking for a cause to rant about; how his whiney lil subset of the larger gay community (which includes me :) needs to feel oppressed by everything.

Bishy? I mean.. jeez. That's not a word I would use in an article. He could have at least used the real Japanese word and not his abbreviation
