Good article, and don't bash on the writers opinions, its what they are, opinions. Just post your response, no negativity needed.

Im gay and I play WOW. I in no way look like a Belf, more touren if you will. I live in San Francisco where gay and straight culture is intertwined and have many straight friends. They are slimmer, more cropped and better dressed than me and many of my gay friends. I guess the term for them now is metrosexual. People need to let go of the old belief of what masculinity should be, its not the same anymore. Well maybe if you live in the suburbs somewhere it might not.

When I saw the Belf models and all the hair choices for the first time, I thought Manga or Final Fantasy'ish but never gay. I think belfs were the perfect addition to the horde, we needed a race that was not monstrous. Before Belf I played Undead, as in my eyes they were the least monstrous and more normal race physically, not cosmetically though.
