The word "Priest" isn't inclusive.

[zlygork]

That's really weird. All other languages have 2 forms for that class.

Most latin-based languages have two genders for pretty much every noun, not something specific to priests at all

[Astalnar]

Food for your thoughts, the french loc genders the classes.

Male priest is "Prêtre"
Female priest is "Prêtresse"

But what about if someone identifies as an attack helicopter?

[AwkwardSquirtle]

This.

The inception of certain words into language do not always mean the "masculine" version of it.

A police officer is a police officer regardless of gender. There aren't "officers" for males and "officerettes" for females.

Police officer is the PC version. Traditionally it used to be policeman, and later policewoman when that was allowed.

Fun fact is that blizzard actually already have the Tech to put difference in race/class names based on gender. They do that on the Brazillian and Spanish versions of the game.

Then I want female DKs to be called Death Maidens.

Nonsensical. Maidens aren't anything like Knights. Try harder. At least a Priestess is somewhat like a Priest.

[Felaris Stormrage]

I doubt Blizzard had any ill-intentions in not including gender-specific labels to classes in the EC.

Should it be fixed? Nah, why allocate resources to something so minor.

If you are triggered by something this absurd, then you should go and play a different game. I hear Destiny 2 caters to this particular mindset.

It was sarcasm. I don't mind tbh, but other localizations differentiate gender.

Dame is a female equivalent. Death Dame would be fine.

Police officer is the PC version. Traditionally it used to be policeman, and later policewoman when that was allowed.

I thought the PC version was "peace officer" or something?

Also, the use of the term "priestess" WITHIN the lore can be a cultural thing. I believe Night Elf culture uses the terms "priestess" to describe the female followers of Elune.

What is wrong with that? Fighting for social justice is noble and just. We should struggle for better tomorrow and make our world a safe space where people won't be discriminated just because they love same gender.

Not to mention that MMO-C already is a tumblr, moderators would agree with me.

This is a troll thread right. We`re in the world of Azeroth. They don`t give a fuck about our stupid PC garbage.

MMOchamp is a toxic boys club. Just not one that actually matters, since it's populated by 12 year olds in their early edgy internet phase. You'll grow out of it, and wish you could erase the embarassing bile you spew, the kekistan flags, the desperate and outdated 4chan memes, the earnest attempt to be as horrible, racist, sexist whatever as possible. All of its going to make you cringe until your eyes roll out your sockets in 5 or 6 years

And why would you need a female counterpart to a name/title/etc when it is not necessary? Wouldn't you think it's discriminatory to say "No, females cannot be priests. They must be called priestesses" even though they are both the exact same thing?
Use your brain. It isn't that hard.

[Radaney]

Priest is inclusive actually.

And the Priest class in WoW is not a reference to in world religious titles so the sex title distinction is irrelevant.

Thanks for spreading more cancerous bytes in the form of this thread upon the internet OP.

[Noblebanned]

I saw someone else mention this and I realized that they were right.

For those that don't know, Priest is masculine, and Priestess is feminine. But for some reason in game, we only have the ability to create Priests, even when our character is female.

Does anyone else find this a little discriminatory? What if a female character wanted to be called a Priestess (like Tyrande is) rather than just a priest? It forces an unwanted male perspective when playing.

I also think there should be more gender neutral names when playing too. Many people use X to replace the feminine or masculine letters in a word, so a totally inclusive version of "Priests" could be "Priestx"

thoughts?

Shut the fuck uppppp

Boy howdy, I can't wait to read your 3rd post.

[ge0]

I can't wait for political correctness to work itself into video games. Isn't it time for transgender orcs and non-binary worgen?

Considering their movies have grossed over 12 billion dollars, probably pretty damn well.

Because their movies up until the latest Spiderman weren't SJW. And I was referring to comics.
