so eredar reproduce asexually, but draenei have genders and sexes... as a mutation due to excessive exposure to holy magic?
i srsly hope not, b/c broken babies would be the absolute cutest.I'm pretty sure corrupted doesn't remove testicles and ovaries, can anyone confirm / refute this?
In fact, based what I can find on WoWwiki, I am exactly right. The Demon-Corrupted Eredar (which are entirely separate from "the Eredar" which is just a generic term for the draenei and the man'ari) are constantly in search of a new, more powerful race to corrupt because they cannot raise their own. They have to keep on expanding to new worlds to replace their fallen soldiers.

I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE READING THE THREAD WOULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM
>implying wowwiki
>implying it couldn't be b/c they reproduce very slowly, a trait which we know draenei have
>implying ppl who cannot sexually reproduce have no gender
>implying jfc why do i even bother
Then you're using the word gender in a purely biological and scientific sense. I still think its ludicruous to say Therazane the Stonemother isn't female, and using strictly scientific definitions for a physical embodiment of the element of earth is kinda missing the point. But since we're not talking about making male and female elemental models for shamans it doesn't really matter.
Quoting from Wowwiki, and this is something that does seem to tie in with the story I've read so far
"Most demons were once mortal creatures found on the worlds conquered by the Burning Legion, but have been transformed by their conversion into demonic beings."
IE most demons are just warped versions of regular old biological races, like a fantasy version of the Zerg. Like most assimilated races, including say the Draenai(sp?), they probably had two genders and reproduced sexually. Whether they stayed that way isn't entirely certain, but the Eredar certainly did keep the outward appearance of it. And its really only the outward appearance rather than their means of procreation that's going to be of concern to the Blizzard art department, I hope. Rule 34 will do and probably already has done taken care of the latter.
Demons are not all supernatural manifestations of aspects of evilness like in D&D, which is probably the cause of the confusion.
I have to say, this is the strangest discussion I've been involved with in quite a long time.

Did not remember the incubus, I guess that is cool for all the female locks out there to have an incubus instead working for them.

Hey, I'm back!
And I've brought a couple things.
Coloured version of my female voidwalker sketch:
Really fast sketch and colour of an Incubus. Heavily based off of the existing Succubus model:
Therazane is a name that is masculine in form given to the "Stonemother". Like all elementals, it is an it, rather than a he or she. Just because it acts (or is rendered graphically) in line with our conception about a specific gender role does not mean it is of that gender. There is probably some interesting Freudian angle here with your (plural) obsession with applying gender roles to computer pixels.
Yes, your quoting from WoWwiki supports my position. They have gender-ized forms because they once were creatures with gender, but no longer are due to demonic corruption. Being a big ole demon is just too much work so they don't have time or unable to shack up anymore apparently. Looking through these lore pages shows that there are no sons of Archimonde, no sons of Illidan, no sons of Sargeras, no sons of Kil'jaeden. Even Gruul got on the nasty with sons of Gruul roaming around the world. Surely these demons would have children if they could, right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_orientation
"Sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation, but they are distinguished, with identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves, behavior referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual, and orientation referring to "fantasies, attachments and longings."
"Thus, a woman who is attracted to other women, but calls herself heterosexual and only has sexual relations with men, can be said to experience discordance between her sexual orientation (homosexual or lesbian) and her sexual identity and behaviors (heterosexual)."
I'd love to see you do the same.
...what?! How exactly do you think sexual orientation is inherited? Inherited from who? Their parents? Who are straight? Congratulations on proving that gay and lesbian people do not exist. Oh, wait.If a behavior (sexual orientation) can be genetically inherited, then so can all behaviors. You lose.
Nothing like being a grammar nazi while making a fool of yourself.I agree you aren't "born prejudice" though. You're born prejudiced.
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
