Why it's important to be gay in "World of Warcraft"

Sept. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Today, the MMO Melting Pot reacts to the news that the massively multiplayer game Star Wars: The Old Republic will only include hetrosexual romance options.

Columnist Johnnie Ingram argues that the top Massively Multiplayer Games companies, including Blizzard and Electronic Arts, are unintentionally colluding to present hetrosexuality as the only acceptable option for the massive audiences of these games.

Covering the common misconceptions around this issue, including the "but the game isn't about sex!" and "But can't you just choose to believe whatever you want to about your character?", Ingram presents a powerful argument that Massively Multiplayer developers need to think more carefully about the messages they are sending, and the damage they could do.

An active discussion of the article has already begun on MMO Melting Pot and popular social media sites, with more than 20 comments having arrived in less than 6 hours.
