Massive gay butthurt over BlizzCon video:

Apparently he called the alliance "homo", referred to the blood elf city as "queer" and offended the noble sensibilities of a night elf by labeling him a "faggot".

From the comments section:

I lost my ex back to WOW. He had problems so it would have been WOW or something else, but to call this kind of speech a 'joke' shows how indifferent Blizzard is towards their playerbase who use WOW to escape from the world. I once contacted them about my ex and never got even the decency of a reply.

I'm sure Blizzard customer support wanted to help him stalk his ex and they will get to it ASAP.

Edit #2, on a different issue:

tldr version: Some chick encounters guys talking about jiggly boobs. She gets horribly upset that her boyfriend and some other guy didn't speak up. I'm wondering why SHE didn't speak up? Can some of the more progressive gentlemen that frequent this fine establishment explain to me the finer points of obligation on the males to speak while the person with the direct interest in speaking up does nothing?

Normal brains hurt because "These are tough. I just don't get fractions."

Engineering brains hurt because "don't ever try to write fractions for me again. What the fuck are you even measuring? With what eldritch tool?"

Are they trying to make children stupid? We have to stop this shit, and start teaching them algebra from the very first time we give them addition to solve.

Who the fuck adds fractions like that?

We added/subtrackted non-fractions like that in elementary school. Took me reading 4-5 posts before I even realized what your problem was. I simply looked at it, searched for the lowest common denominator and added/subtrackted the fractions...
I don't get the university comments either, that's elementary stuff. In uni we only did differencials and Taylor functions and stuff.

And as an engineer I'd wonder how solving those fractions helped securing a clean water supply

Blizzard did behave very poorly. They're not 4chan, they gotta have some standards.

But The Border House calling out others on sexism, racism and homophobia is like Hitler complaining about Stalin's human rights abuses. For example, here's what one of the site's editors once wrote:

Remember, as a white (which I assume you are, because your Facebook profile picture depicts a white man) person (and I hope an ally against racism), your role is not to tell people of colour how and why things are not racist–which much of your conversation is trying to insinuate, with your attempts to poke holes in people’s arguments. A person of colour wrote this blog post and said, “Hey, some of the imagery in Left 4 Dead 2 is racist”. As a white person, your role is to listen and learn from the person of colour, who raised these issues, and to use this comment space as an opportunity to learn and understand, by approaching your comments with knowledge of your white privilege clearly in your mind. Please check your privilege, and take a step back form this conversation. Please do a little bit of self-education before you comment again on any posts that discuss racism at a more advanced level than you seem to be equipped to deal with.

They've got no fucking business pointing fingers at others.

What's so funny about that site is the idea that their orientation is somehow so important to their hobby that they need a dedicated community for it. And then they cry when other gamers don't treat them like everyone else.

Her boyfriend should have stepped up, because that's his responsibility. Or is it? Feminism tells us that women are loud and proud and in your face and won't take shit from anyone, and definitely don't need any white knights around. So I guess this incident once again reveals the wide gap between feminist power fantasies and real life. When push came to shove, she expected her man to protect her. But the more powerful feminism becomes, the less able and inclined men are to do so.

Edit: look at this shit. Somebody very politely asks why she didn't speak up herself, and she accuses the guy of trolling and tells him to go read Feminism 101 and Derailing for Dummies. She's a complete fucking tool.

Cannibal Corpse is one of the shittiest shock banging-and-screaming bands of all time, Blizzard should have known better than to associate with that kind of nonsense. I guess when it comes to public relations they're not much smarter than Bioware after all.

Alex is a cisgender white woman from the US.

Really?

 

[Luzur]

what is cisgender?

 

[hoopy]

"A match between an individual's gender identity and the behavior or role considered appropriate for one's sex." In other words, a normal person. Welcome to identity politics.

They feel the need to highlight that she's cisgendered but they call her white instead of caucasian?

Political correctness is reta-....uh...'Mentally impaired'.

The more white, heterosexual and male you are, the less you are protected by political correctness. A white heterosexual male is subhuman by PC standards.

[JarlFrank]

what is cisgender?

I don't really know but I'm making a guess based on Latin.

In Latin, trans means something like beyond/on the other side. Cis is the opposite of trans and means this side of. Like Gallia Transalpina was the part of Gaul beyond the alps, while Gallia Cisalpina was the part of Gallia on the Italian side of the alps.

So cisgender is the opposite of transgender. Transgender means you've become the other gender opposite of yours, while cisgender probably means you're a normal person who accepts that your own physical gender is also your own social gender.

So basically cisgender means you're a normal person but calling yourself normal would discriminate the transgender people so you call yourself cisgender in order to put yourself on the same level as transgenders oh gods what is this faggotry i dont even

Isn't it just an opposite, more or less the same as calling yourself "heterosexual" because "not homosexual" or "normal" would be discriminating homosexuals? (not to mention it would be centering the meaning around minorities you don't want to offend - "I am Jarlfrank, a non-black, non-homosexual non-female and I post in Non-Actiongame Codex" )

As in, the existence of transgendered people means we need a word for those who aren't transgendered, and just using the opposite (cis - trans) sounds good enough

 

[DraQ]

We added/subtrackted non-fractions like that in elementary school.

Non fractions, sure (though once you're out of elementary school, you'll either do it quickly in your head or reach for a calculator, without bothering with notation), but what's the point of using this sort of notation for fractions, when you'll have to multiply numerators first, after you find LCD anyway?

cisgender

I don't mind the word itself, but being butthurt when someone describes their gender orientation as "normal"?
What kind of cretin do you have to be?

Am I butthurt when some non-sperg describes himself as normal?
No, I'm .

But there already is a word for that. In fact, there are two words for that.

They're called "male" and "female".

 

[Clockwork Knight]

that's not how opposites work, jarlfrank

edit: in fact, that's not how trangenders work either

Transgender people still identify themselves as male or female, so "male / female / trangender" doesn't clarify anything. But since you think that a "cisgender group" is unecessary, in a way you are more tolerant than I am

hah

 

[Mastermind]

Bullshit word they made up for "normal" since calling normal people normal is offensive to minorities.

Delightful Butthurt.

First they ignored us, then they laughed at us, then they RAGED and us, and then we will win.

You can use mods on the PC version. If you have both, I recommend the PC version.

1. Not everybody cares about better graphics!
2. We just don't wanna and you can't make us
3. The graphics might not be better, so what's the point

I keep finding new ways to be confused.
At least it's mathematically sound: (Reason #3) XOR (Reason #1) = No Reason #2

[Shannow]

Actually it's:
1. We consider the graphix to be sufficient. (Very codexian)
2. We prefer gaming on consoles. (Perfectly acceptable)
3. To achieve better graphix we have to invest in expensive PCs. (Reasonable from a POV where you already have a console for gaming and a PC sufficient for your non-gaming needs)

While they ignore moddability the presented statements are perfectly fine, IMHO. What I don't get is why he's so butthurt. Sounds like ill concealed jealousy that belies said statements...

Or they read posts like that five times per day on their board and are simply fed up with the unproductive noise. I don't have any console, but I would also be fed up with people telling me all the time to get one if I were on a PC only board.

PC gamers are loserz. So are console gamers. What did we learn from this? Everyone is lozers.
