Default WoW hates gay people?

Quote:
As many players have noticed, we have made a slight change to the male Blood Elf character models. In response to concerns that the Blood Elf male appeared to be too feminine, and after reviewing the model from a visual and conceptual standpoint, the decision was made to increase the body mass to give them a more substantial, masculine feel. It was also important that as members of the Horde that the Blood Elves gave the impression of strength and a more menacing presence.
Apparently the gay community is in an uproar. I can only imagine the upcoming jokes with Fae vs Blood Elves.

Heres another article.

Niber, I didn't know you read gaygamer.org =p

Actually, WoW will do what they did last time:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4700754.stm

They'll issue apologies, reverse their position, and send all CSRs to sensitivity training.
