Look, I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to other people's feelings. I try to think how the other person must feel, what they're going through, before I make any scathing comments.

But frankly, the disparaging against Ji is downright silly. For all you know, Ji is bisexual or gay or asexual. If you're female, he calls you gorgeous. If you're male, he calls you handsome.. would it be more 'fair' if the two terms were reversed? And since I'm gay, should I feel compelled to be creeped out? His words could be construed as hitting on me as well.

I hate to tell you this, Josh, but the genders are not physically equal. I don't have a vagina or breasts, and they don't have a penis or testicles. This relates to your other comments, because yes, harassment of females exists in WoW - but it exists everywhere else in the goddamn world, too. Men will be men, because that's how they've evolved. It's hardly Blizzard's fault that the playerbase acts the way they do.
