Hatespeech

The number one cause of gay children committing suicide in the world is hatespeech. This is a fact. I have to imagine that many gay children play WoW as a matter of fact I know this to be true.

Blizzard and I agree that hatespeech has no place whatsoever in World of Warcraft. Every time I see the use of hatespeech in a realm I play on or a BG that I am in, I report it. I promise you, from the emails I have gotten from former players and tells I have recieved from brand new accounts, that Blizzard takes this VERY seriously. And no, me talking to Blizz will not get your account back.

If you are wondering what I mean by hatespeech, I am talking about the 6 letter "F" word that people use regarding gay people, the "N" word, or disparaging words or comments about ANY group or minority.

My point in posting is this: If you use hatespeech, stop it. Grow up. If you see it used report it, takes 10 seconds and could save some confused kid. If you don't want to go that far, warn the player. Say "Hey, you can get in trouble for that.". Either way, one player's lols are not worth a child's life.

Trolls: Let me save you some typing. I don't care what you think of me, my resolve, my gear, my guild, my name, my character's race, class, spec... etc. etc. etc.
