Genders of warlock minions.

Incubus and Succubus?

"I'm happy to share we actually do have plans for offering players a choice between male and female versions of all warlock demons. This is a task already in our system, though I don't have a time frame for you at the moment. Other art tasks could always take precedence, but we're committed to making this happen. :)"

My first reaction was "Hahaha, what a silly idea." ... But when I think about it, it a very good idea actually. First of all it would be nice just to be able to customize your warlock a little and stand out of the crowd. Much like mages and the different "sheeps" they can do. But also to make WoW less sexists (or more sexist but atleast more balanced).

Let me explain, I don't think the succubus is an objectification of women, it is just to far way out of line that it becomes a joke. Much in the same way as a little lipstick is nice but too much makes a clown. You don't look at a succubus and think "This is a good representation of how women should be." It is a bad view, taken to it's extreme ending up as being ridiculous. So, yes, I would very much welcome an Edward Cullenesque incubus that whispers sweet nothings, sparkle and shower you with flowers as you travel Azeroth (he might even cry a little when critters die).

And the different male/female combinations of seduce on your targets? Well, thats a completely different hornets nest to stick an appendage in.
