Retaining the male voice of the character would add authenticity to this stunning and brave feature.

Imagine spending your day sitting around banning people on an internet forum for talking about the gender of a fictional video game character

I'm suprised it took them this long to add this customization to their game, horrendous that they are banning people for speaking against it, although i have a hard time coming up with reasons to be against this ?

I don't think anyone is against it (although other similar services like race change and server transfers are still $20-30). The article was mostly focused on trans issues in WoW, so most of the deleted comments seem to be anti-SJW or against agenda posting.

ignoring the reason behind why they did this, its a pretty good change over having to pay real money for a sex change.
now the real problems will happen when they start demanding blizzard insert a a nonbinary character option in the creation instead of just male and female /eyeroll

Mechagnomes shouldn't even have genders!

Unless I’m mistaken mechagnomes replace body parts with machinery so they are sexually dimorphic even if they were to replace their sexual organs with machines?

Remember Futurama - Manbots and Fembots, and something about them using different types of oil.

The shitty thing is that people who paid real money for it in the past don't get a refund, now that it's free.

They've had these swaps in the game so long I can't even remember when they added it. Wrath of the lich king?

It was just paid before and instead they're just making it an option that you can change whenever. It's a complete non issue.

This, on the other hand.

If the TRAs want to celebrate this change and how it’ll make their ERP better let them, who cares...

It’s a game character changing the gender switch, it doesn’t make a character trans. It’s a damn polygonal model. Anything to do with trans is player projection and that’s fine, let them have that.

Again, why do people care?

This is the most laughable in the worst ways possible...
