There was also an instance where a burglar was trying to....well, burgle. Wow, that word doesn't look right. Anyway, he fell through someone's skylight, fell on a knife left out on a kitchen side and actually sued the person. Successfully. I mean, WHAT?
I remember this! The thief was still paid, but she did file for an appeal after the case and won, so good thing she had the money paid back to her from the state.
Fact still remains, thief still got paid. Terrible state laws let this happen.
Try this %^&* in Texas, ill claim trespass and I can legally kill you.
They are also passing a law to where if you see your neighbors house being broken into, you can legally shoot them as well.
I remember hearing a news story a few years ago about a guy in Texas who did just that, he was on 911 the entire time and the thieves were breaking into his neighbor's house, they were starting to leave and he tells the operator "I'm gonna git em, this aint right watching this go down and not do anything" and next thing you hear is like 4 gunshots in the background and the dude comes back to the operator and tells em he killed both of em in his neighbors front lawn lol. He did not get charged, which is awesome.
Lolwow.
Too bad you can't do that here up north. Would be something interesting to dispense justice...I guess.

Redneck Justice is never a good thing if your on the receiving end.

Gnomes look like little people to me. Little people are humans, too. I'm offended you would take such offense. The game is rated T for teen. All the teenagers I know can take that joke. If you're so offended then gtfo if you can't handle a bit of adult humor.
Aside from that, don't drop the soap 'cause the people here are raping you.

If you knew what the Blood Elves do to the Leper Gnomes in Silvermoon City you'd probably /uninstall.

I'll also leave this here:
WoW carries a Teen ESRB rating:
TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence,
suggestive themes
,
crude humor
, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

It's not quite as exciting as it sounds, but then nothing with Blood Elves ever is.

Yeah, here's the
story.
But there's a lot of controversy surrounding it, I remember seeing so much local coverage over it.
If you ask me, it had a little less to do with "Oh, hey, my neighbor is being burgled" and a bit more to do with "Colored men be doing illegal stuff. Lemme get my guns!"
But I think that type of discussion is better left to the Off-Topic forum should anyone wish to continue down that road.

If you can't handle such a minor case of QQ then it is you who should gtfo. WoW comes with QQ, deal with it.

Ok:
-Gnomes are not kids, they are little people
-The fact that you pointed out the gay, and "not androgenous" part...
...You're being more offensive than WoW was.
A good point has been brought up. WE ALL KNOW THIS STUFF HAPPENS. We aren't new to it. And, THIS GAME IS RATED "T". Is it appropriate for 9 year olds? No. Do 9 year olds play? Yes. But the game is rated T for teen for a reason. So they've done the best they can to stop it.
So let me ask you Jesus Christ, how are you so pure? Oh my god, a rape joke? You just down-casted gays, and tried to compare little people to kids. Both are more offensive, to every age level. And once again, TEENS KNOW ABOUT THIS. Now if they made a joke about furries... ok, I'll stop there, I think I've made my point.
Edit: Oh, and I for one thought it was pretty funny.

How can it be inappropriate? Teens do worse stuff... It's not like because you mention dropping soap teens will suddenly learn about prison rape like they "never knew". Honestly, what bad effects does this carry?
That isn't the point. The point is that most people out there find the thought of gnomes (which look like children) being raped in prison disgusting.
I agree completely that teens do worse stuff, and this joke might be right up their alley. But why does Blizzard have to take the maturity level of their game down that low?
I personaly find it... well not funny welll.. yes funny after all the jokes blizzard and everyone else has put out about gnomes I just find gnomes being the joke race its all they are good for. Hell have you heard the worgen /silly yet? one of them goes. "Are you into... Furry." or something like that.. There are way to many sexual jokes or things out there.

EDIT: You would immediately leave my guild if you find this offensive enough to post a thread about it.

That's a pretty low bar if a Gnome walked into it.
As to the original post, I'd just like to say: After surveying the six people in my office that play WoW, none of us equated Gnomes with children.
Pure, adulterated evil (because anything that small and adorable
has
to be demonic) maybe, but not children.
