Thanks D, this was a really insightful read, especially the section about Anduin's coding. I feel like I learned a lot, and would encourage anyone else interested in representation in WoW to give it some attention. https://twitter.com/lollipophustler/status/1283526668867469313 …

I do love that the characters resonate with different people for different reasons. No one reading of a character is wrong. Unfortunately I've had people accuse me of homophobia because they've asserted that so and so is queer-coded and therefore my ship is bad.

Same, but on the opposite side of the spectrum on that. When discussing certain characters and how I feel certain ones are queer-coded, often times it just turns into people calling me a "twink fetishist" or shoving my desire for gay characters on their straight ones.

I just kinda want us to all have fun with this IP we love, without people coming in and going WELL ACTUALLY, yknow? Let me have fun in my cornee with my bi Anduin and bi Tess getting together and Tess blushing over Jaina as she gives her shovel talk...

I did want to add, because I've been talking to some friends about these broader discussions, that it's important take away that this isn't about shipping in the end. It's about broader queer rep. Often times these discussions get sidelined into what's a valid ships or not.

Oh of course. Shipping is the least important thing here. But I can't help but feel that slinging words like "homophobic" around because Person A and B like different things is really quite dangerous, and just breaks down any further talk on the matter.

For sure, it's a delicate matter in the end. I just know from past experience it's that which also segways into *the damn gays?!* However communicating without being insulting is important. As it can scare some people away and all that. Good thing to highlight of course too.

Yeah ;; It's a big ol' discussion that is never going to strike a balance that will please everyone I think. It's unfortunate.
