The Daily Grind: Have you been discriminated against in game?

Jul 14th 2010 3:31PM (Massively)
Agreed that some thing are worse, but that doesn't mean that the little things don't count as well. Just because some people use a word doesn't mean that it has lost any of the sting. Also...you don't get to narrow down the definition of a word on your own. It does not mean only flaming homosexuals, and even if it did, that is still discriminatory.
People don't walk around throwing the n-word and then go "Oh! sorry dude, that only refers to black people from Nigeria." It doesn't work that way. I honestly believe that you use it in a narrowed sense, but the people you use it on, and the people that hear you use it don't. It's just an excuse for you to use a disrespectful phrase against people you don't respect. I guess you have respect for straight-acting gay people, which is cool in itself, but that doesn't mean you can treat queeny ones less.

You know what always irks me, but in a bitter-sweet way..is when people whisper me to tell me that they're not gay but they're okay with me being gay. I'm like...congratulations on not being a neanderthal. I really do appreciate the support, but I get a little miffed that they treat it like it's a special occasion. I know, it's not entirely the normal thing you see, but is it so wrong to just want to be treated that way? I would like to mention my bf without an onslaught of support /whispers. I really appreciate the effort, and I love them all a little more every time they do it, but I'm not trying to make some political stand by describing what move I went to see with him last week.

Alganon steals press release from BioWare

Apparently, Smedley from Everquest 2 used the same lines in 2004. Don't know if that's true or not, but if it is...then it probably would have been a PR person's fault and not Quest. Not that I'm trying to defend them. Maybe they just stole some stolen goods, lol.

I personally like my demons' names, but another guild warlock has an imp named "?". Not sure I'd EVER change that, but maybe one day he'll wake up and want something that doesn't remind people of the artist formerly known as Prince.

Drama Mamas: When the game is no laughing matter

I have no idea why you people are quoting Shakespeare...I'm not an RPer, so I won't say anything negative about her speech, but as far as being Shakespearean, it clearly isn't and she would probably agree that she wasn't trying to be. But what's worse, lol, is that your quotes are so unlike her RPing that you only ruin your own point.
Also...you vs. teacher. It's an extra level of sad that you think you know about Shakespeare than a teacher of the subject, on top of being wrong by a wide, WIDE margin. Shakespeare is almost musical in its rhythm. Hers was def some fantasy novel style RPing. Not a bad thing, just not Shakespeare.
I mean honestly...why would you even think that she was going to RP in a Shakespearean style? Besides innate awesomeness, I guess.

Originally I was gonna write a long post with copious corrections, but not only are they obvious, but the other articles are bad too, so I'd just rather give up. I'm speechless at some of these choices honestly...just speechless. I'm stuck on the speccing for trash pulls and the rare add heavy boss....
