Blizzard hates gays?
I found somehow while searching download.com. Talk amongst yourselves since I don't really jump into these "Serious Discussions." I just like to start em.
And here's where Blizzard apologizes.

Seems like homosexual pride taken to the online gaming world to me.

The Blizzard rep was being irrational. Nothing about a group of gay or gay-accepting people meeting online (peacefully, I might add) constitutes sexual harassment.

The people in Blizzard are apparently biased against any kind of sex that they themselves are not used to so they are making excuses such as saying it could possibly constitute sexual harassment, when the reality is just the opposite. But hey, they run the game, nothing much anyone can do about it besides boycott WoW

Well you would be surprised whats considered sexual harasment is today....
At my school if you even look at some one (prob. a girl) it could be considered harasment...

I'd have to agree with Dorkhawk. Blizzard does seem like the company that would take action against anything.

No they weren't. Would you like a bunch of channels gonig around masqeerading WE LOVE GAYS or GAYS SUCK or maybe even WHITE POWER. That would bug ALOT of peope. You have to remeber that annoying people online IS illegal, and Blizzard could be held responsable.

Sexual harassment can be staring at someone without conversation for 11 seconds.

Nicely put, I think Blizz was doing the right thing when they denounced the gays.

When did Blizzard denounce the gays? I jsut think that if they didn't want this in their game they used the wrong laws to back themselves up.

Seems like blizzard did something wrong back there, but who cares who you like on online anyways? They aren't going to meet in person much less love or marry

Err.. I would understand why they would list that as sexual harrasment. You normally don't want a young gamer to see "Join my party, we especially like people who like to have sex with the opposite gender!" so what is different if it is the other way around?
