    But they don't

    They have no way of checking someone's sexuality.

    If I started playing WoW and started discussing homosexuality, I would be violating that policy and would be banned.

    Thus, the policy does not discriminate against only gays.

      The thing is that you wouldn't be banned.

        Blizzard would kick heterosexual people out if they talked about homosexuality in general chat.

        So technically it's not discrimination.

        Is there a "litmus test" of sorts when you log on to the game that says "ARE YOU GAY"? And it will prevent you from logging on if you answer "Yes"?

        Didn't think so.

            Not even close. Your response is like saying (in an extreme example) that Nazis would kill other Nazis if they pretended to be Jews, therefore there is nothing wrong with the Jew killing policy.

            Anyway, heterosexuality in World of Warcraft. Here's an example (risque but hilarious content warning)

              you still don't get it

              WoW is not preventing gay people from playing

              they don't have any litmus test that disqualifies gay people from playing

              THUS, your examples (and Godwin, BTW ) are completely irrelevant...

                I still can't understand why this is news, or why Agathon is so concerned with it. It's a private game, even if I did think what they're doing is morally wrong that is their choice to make.

                Get over it and get over yourself, Agathon.

                  Nice try. Have you been smoking the wacky weed again? You don't have to stop gay people from playing to do things that are prejudiced against them.

                    Would not anther solution to this problem be instead of saying that you are pro gay or gay friendly, that you start a guild that does not allow intollorance of any kind? I think that would be much better then saying that you are gay friendly.

                    Second any kind of sexuallity has no place in a video game, especially if it is being played by minors. Why would you want to talk about anything about your priviate life in a video game? When I go online to play a game, I play the game, I dont sit arround and chat about my private life.

                    Third I fail to see how this has anything to do with discrimination of gays or any other group. I do see how they are censoring any speech that has anything to do with gays, but that is a free speech issue.

                      The game is full of such content. Straight players are allowed to talk about it too, within reason. Homosexuality is verboten.

                            The rules aren't the same for businesses as they are for, say, your home. But hell, your attitude can be used to justify all sorts of despicable behaviour.

                            Just another reason why right wingers are morally retarded.

                              Why shouldn't sexuality be included in video games for adults?
