Oh dear.

Yes. Seems like these people exist.

I’ll give you the quick run-down: There’s an NPC in the beta of the new WoW expansion. Depending on the character’s sex he either said “Wow you are some kind of gorgeous aren’t you? I can tell we are going to be good friends!” when he was facing a woman and something about strong and good-looking when looking at a man.

Then the political correctness lightning struck and a poster on the beta forums called the NPC sexist. Then it all went down-hill from there.

I’m not even touching the sexism aspect, because the internet-hate-hyenas are everywhere today. But I want to say something about narratives in both passive and interactive media: Demanding every character in a piece of art to be either bisexual or completely neutered doesn’t make for better stories, it just makes them awful and boring. Characters need “flaws” and I’m putting this in quotes, because in this day and age appearantly being a hetero-sexual interested in girls and being upfront about it counts as a flaw.

So rest in peace, Ji Firepaw. I hardly knew ya as a character, before they turned you into a heap of mashed potatoes like every other NPC.

Studied at Wake Forest University
Lives in Norwood, North Carolina

Went to West Stanly High
Lives in Midland, North Carolina

It hurts that they live in North Carolina. Just… kill me please.

Holy fucking hell.

Jesus bloody… fuck.

English racists are bad enough, but white supremacists IN NORTH AMERICA who want people to ~go back to Africa~ or Mexico or wherever the fuck… I can’t even FATHOM what goes on in their tiny little brains. Are they shooting up chalk to boost their fucking whiteness, or what?! And when exactly are they planning to fuck off to their Eastern European countries of “ancestral origin”?

This makes me so sick. I am literally trembling inside with nausea because I cannot believe there are people who still think this is okay. It’s almost enough to make me cry, in all honesty. How could you think of another human being like this? These people make me sick.

What surprises me is that people are actually surprised that this is a thing. Signal Boosting, anyway.

Excuse me while I go vomit.

I’m not racist but


Niggers

I hope these pieces of uncultured swine fucking rot and never find a fucking job ever again. I hope their asses are thrown on a street in the cold and they’re at the mercy of the same people they hate. And they’re denied that mercy. Fuck those people.

I am absolutely ashamed to be the same species as those monsters. Good luck getting a job now, assholes.

People like this need to be shot into the sun. BTW genetics say we all originated in Africa. We’re all brown, just different shades of it. 

This is weirdly relevant to my last post.
