I was following this on another board as well because controversy is fun. There have been a lot of posts around lately, claiming GM abusive behaviour and unfair decisions. Geez... why else would anyone become a GM?

Nobody likes going home at the end of the day feeling like shit, and no manager wants customer service reps who treat customers like shit. But if we're being jaded, yes, the industry is geared toward lording over customers for the sadistic pleasure of the game's evil rulers. |

It was more amusing that they upheld the complaint of a guild called The Spreading Taint.

Many pointed out that Warcraft has a thriving community of gay players, or gaymers (Insert Haemish-flavored rant of fury....here) Dear God, am I that predictable? Yeah, ok, that is probably the stupidest fucking term I ever heard. I would say that it makes me want to stab someone to death with my engorged, tumescent cock, but then someone would just call me a fucking gaymer. Cocknibblers. |

Many pointed out that Warcraft has a thriving community of gay players, or gaymers (Insert Haemish-flavored rant of fury....here) So...fucking....stupid. Who fucking cares who someone has sex with outside of the game? Why aren't all the hetero gamers recognized? Or more likely, the celibate? If it is a minority angle, why not all the different races of gamers? How about mentally challenged gamers (insert dev joke here)? Disabled gamers? Bald gamers? Equality is important, but part of equality is being the SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, not labeling yourself something cutesy to get attention. |

> Why aren't all the hetero gamers recognized?
When we form guilds for f13 members, we do it get recognized? No, we do it get away from the idiots(well, except Nix). I am sure they are doing the same thing.
EDIT: not defending the Gay Pride Parade thing, just the "GLBT-friendly" thing that started the uproar.

This whole situation is dumb as hell.
Edit: Also, the word gaymers should be wiped from the entire language as if it never existed. Fuck damn that's a stupid word.
