World of Warcraft has fallen!

[Fladdermus]

Haven't played for a while. Finished for Christmas at lunchtime today so thought I'd dive back in with a new character. It used to be that you selected the sex of your character, male or female, by clicking on the relevant sex symbol. Now you can choose between body 1 and body 2. Body 1 being male and 2 being female.

I know it's only a computer game but seriously, I want to be female whether that's in real or animated life. I'm not a 'body 2' and neither is my gaming character.

How sad. How devasted you must be. Truly horrible stuff.

Indeed. Having your sex erased and replacing it with a number is sad.

How typical that female is number 2 as well.

The second sex 🙄

This. Having two options that clearly are male and female but can't be called male or female are then numbered 1 and 2 with 1 being the male.... how depressingly predictable

The OP is entitled to feel peeved at this, without snark about devastation when the only person bandying those hyperbolic words around is you

Exactly. Male = first, number 1, default. Female = number 2, second, always, of course.

Meet the new patriarchy, exactly the same as the old patriarchy.
