lol

lol

You're gonna have to write some more than that, if you want to actually discuss something.

I can't even open the link. Can you link to an actual source instead of Twitter?

This thread says more about OP than the link he provides. Yeah, it's trite, but imagine being so shook that you need to come to MMO-C and post nothing but "lol" and hope you can other people to agree with you.

Well in short, its a Twitter profile, where a Select few have been chosen to be apart of "Women of Warcraft" i guess its meant to be an empowering thing, to show that women can play wow... which okay i guess?
But the problem is this opens up alot of Trolls already they have been bombarded with alot of hate mainly because al the women are White, and good looking

[Wilfire]

It tilts me how arrogant and hypocritical this "WoW" group is. They say they're open to BIPOC women only and yet 9/10 of the people in video are not BIPOC.

and good looking

Still, it would be nice to normalize this. It'd be nice to see men actually able to handle a woman in voice chat during RBGs or raids. Maybe by 2030 they'll be able to cope.

I am a female and I find this twitter post discriminating towards men, because there also should be "Men of Warcraft" in that case. We women don't like to be in a such center of attention, we just desire to play game like everyone else. I believe apart from this madness going on Twitch and social media there are women just like me who will agree with this.

Is this Athenelol?

I agree with you. The fact that people even take this blatant virtue signaling serious when the game is dying... lol.

Comments like this make me lament the lack of a like button. Well said, Sir.

this thread will go places

I regularly lead RBGs and I've never ever heard anyone say anything even remotely sexist in the past decade.

I don't know about you guys, but I've always loved it when I'm placed on a pedestal solely because of my anatomy.

[McNeil]

I wish you didn't share this... why did you even?

[DemonHunter18]

umm ok.

I saw this a few weeks back but didn't know what was about.

Well in short, its a Twitter profile, where a Select few have been chosen to be apart of "Women of Warcraft" i guess its meant to be an empowering thing, to show that women can play wow... which okay i guess?

it reminds me of Powerful Women of Warcraft panel from Blizzon they were doing for a few years which served no purpose tbh.

That's more to do with the toxic WoW fanbase than anything else. I know more other women in FFXIV than men.

So silly. Why would looks have anything to do with it? I mean, it doesn't. Isn't it about a game? The gameplay, who plays etc? Why are we so easy to spew hate :/

It tilts me how arrogant and hypocritical this "WoW" group is. They say they're open to BIPOC women only and yet 9/10 of the people in video are not BIPOC.

Isn't it a new group (I have no idea..)? Would it be arrogant for me and my white boys to start a group saying BIPOC is fine and welcome? I mean, do one really need to have people of every walk of life to be able to say that it's ok?

It reminds me of LFG raids who ask for Curve which I need a group to get. Can't get curve because everyone asks for curve :P Catch 22 ftw.

It's your comment that adds nothing, OP actually brought something to the table. I think it's laughable but also worth a discussion. I think this reflects perfectly what direction Blizzard wants to go in.
