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"

Seem kind of odd that they would do that...

...queer, even.

Bestiality, on the other hand...

> While it may seem ok because they are truly a heterosexual couple in real life, in game they are two females.

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!"

Slippery Slope...

[Doggan]

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!

The next thing you know, these same groups will be preaching polygamy. Kalimdor cannot support this! It is a slippery slope!

**disclaimer** /please don't take these comments seriously ;p

Sanctity

[The_Rippa]

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?

Gay marriage happens all the time in WoW

[Kawolski]

It's just that the grooms involved don't know it...yet.

What do you mean you're only "ROLE-PLAYING" a female character?!

Re:Sorry Zonk

[Golias]

I say screw the middle man.

So... You're saying 3-way marriage should be okay too, then?

Re:"Harassment for players"?!?

[Kesch]

So punish the harassers.

It's hard to do that when they make up 85% of your revenue.

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 ...

That Special Feeling

[umbrellasd]

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.

[R3d M3rcury]

Well, duh! But why can't the stork bring babies to same sex couples?!

More usual than you think

[Matz0r]

Since most of the female characters in game are actually male players, 'gay' marriage is more common than you think...

I guess you would have to ask the members of said guilds ;)
