    The movie was considered both homophobic and transphobic WHEN IT RELEASED. Just not many people listened back then.

    Straight men aren't attracted to men. You do know this, right? Right?

    White men aren't treated like trash by our (western) society for thier identity.

    You are using the definition of a strawman argument. Are nerdy people killed all the time purely for being nerdy and their murderer gets away with it because "they didn't know they were a nerd"? No. So bringing up your bullshit example is nothing but a strawman.

    For starters, I take issue with the notion that Einhorn "wasn't actually trans" in the first place. The movie never actually presents the idea that Finkle is "pretending", the only justification we get for the 'fake trans' angle is Ace himself calling Einhorn "a man". Unless there's word-of-god floating around that says otherwise, the only source of Einhorn not being a "real woman" comes from a character in-universe who, let's be real, isn't exactly a moral paragon.

    Secondly, even if we concede that Einhorn was a man... vomiting uncontrollably because you accidentally kissed someone of the same gender is not a normal, balanced response.
    "Oh god I accidentally did a gay thing. I'm going to vomit for five minutes now" isn't exactly better than what I initially presented.

    I didn't say white men. I said young men. Try to keep up.

    No. My solution is not using groups of people who are already treated like trash in society as the butt of a fucked up joke. Plenty of movies are funny without needing to make incredibly offensive comments.

    So if I blindfolded you and asked you to kiss someone and you later found out it was another man, regardless of his sexual preference. That wouldn't in the slightest make you vomit a little? the fact you kissed a man while being straight? wake up. Yet you couldn't show your displeasure as it would make you homophobic. LMAO

    Hell maybe we can't even refuse to kiss another man as he could be gay and that would make us homophobic, shit!

    What does that matter? You can kiss someone without seeing them or knowing who they are?

    Blind folds exist....

    These are the people that are dragging the game to the dirt. They think they are resorting to try to change the world for the better according to their own personal agendas since they will never be known for making a good quality game now that the REAL talent has left the company.

    Just a bunch of sock puppets that tweet about their world PoV incessantly while trying to push their political agenda to online PAYING customers.

    I wonder what sort of bullshit these idiots will carry on in the future since they neutered the artistic freedom the game was once allowed to have.

    Fuck wow tbh

    That's it for today folks! Tune in tomorrow to see <something nobody noticed/thought anything of for 10-15 years> being removed because it offends <insert minority or whatever agenda is popular at the time>. All championed by <insert random twitter bandwagon warrior in it for the retweets and likes>.

    Ok, and that's the joke then. A man kisses a guy because he's blindfolded and then he's disgusted when it's taken off and the truth is revealed. What's the problem?

    This is nothing more than a feeble attempt at handwaving away the criticism made of your stance.

    Was it a problem? A problem made by whom?

    "Society has been evolving ever since" Handwaving again.

    As I said in my first post here, your stance is an example of consensus falsification.

    And if you want a counter argument on the jokes issue, i'll just reiterate what's often said in the comedian circles. Do you want your group to be normalized or do you want it to be special? Because there's nothing more normalizing than being made fun of.

    Honestly the reference was baffling as hell from the start. Finkle Einhorn has literally no reference to Ace Ventura in anything else. No similarities at all to any of the characters, none of his quests reference the movies or characters in any way, there's not even any superficial similarities.

    There's literally just a character in WoW who's name was a reference to a scene in a movie where a male character threw up after kissing another male character. There's no other connection. It's always struck me as just... weird.

    No it wouldn't make me vomit? And no showings displeasure wouldn't make you homophobic. And no refusing to kiss some on isn't homophobic.

    You get how "I don't want to kiss a man" and extent vomitting isn't the same thing....

    You're not keeping up. Don't strain yourself, this is obviously too much for you.

    I think the important message being sent by blizzard is, that trans people should name change.
