Just so I have a good starting point, can you please clarify if you have actually seen the Blood Elves, listened to their voices and so forth in game and are just not seeing what I am seeing or are we about to have some “Binarydrone isn’t culturally sensitive” moment?
Okay, here’s the funny thing. In composing a response to this post, I did a search for “blood elf voice clips” and got this page. Gaygamer.net, so taking them at face value I presume the person who said that blood elf males “sound like a queen that lives next to a gay bar and is always at the salon” is also gay. So there’s someone that agrees with you.
Still, snooty and effete doesn’t always mean gay. Sometimes it means British. 
Really, though, my first thought on hearing that voice was metrosexual, not homosexual. Going to the stereotype doesn’t always come off well.
(Also: holy crap, some of those quotes are hilarious. I haven’t played my BElf much, so I haven’t heard some of them. “sigh I could really use a scrunchie. Yeah, you heard me!”)
Sounds like Sideshow Bob to me.
Yes, I’ve been playing WoW since the day it launched. I also have sex with dudes. Outside of the scrunchy quote Bosstone linked to, I’m not really seeing a whole lot of gay stereotypes with the blood elves.
Kelsey Grammer as the Blood Elf King confirmed!
One of their emotes was them saying “you wish your girlfriend was hot like me”. For the males.
Yeah, the BE doesn’t sound any more gay than any of Cam Clarke’s other characters.
(Clarke himself is gay, but this doesn’t carry through to his characters.)
Yeah, okay, that’s pretty gay.
Still, though, those are joke emotes. They don’t really have much of a reflection on how the race is portrayed in the game as a whole. Going by just that link, the female Draenai sound like sex-obsessed gnome-ovores. But there’s nothing in the actual game that reflects that. The same with the blood elves: there’s really nothing about how they act in the game that says “gay” to me.
And I’m usually all about the unsupportable gay subtext.
Even if we do a hand wave and pretend that the emotes don’t exist, to me the Blood Elf “accent” sounds like an over the top gay male “accent” (or more precisely the stereotype of a gay male accent). The slight lisp. The speech patter. Pretty much all of it. This is to say nothing of the weird “hippy” way that they stand. Seems a little over the top to me.
I never really saw blood elf males as gay (yeah, I can see how a lot of people would, though)–just metrosexual, androgynous, and conceited. More “Eurotrashy” than “gay.” 
I personally love them–all of my WoW characters are male blood elves. I love their lore, the fact that they’re all addicted to magic, their society…as soon as BC came out, I dropped my human rogue like a hot potato and never looked back. (Just for the record, I’m very gay-friendly, so even if they were canonically gay I’d think they were just as cool.)
Oh, there’s also the fact that they look the best of any of the races and either of the genders in gear. The BE females look good, but their gear isn’t impressive looking–their shoulderpads and weapons are too small.
The one thing I don’t like about BE males is one of their jokes–it wasn’t in the clip someone posted earlier, but it’s definitely in the game: “The trouble with these *Horde *characters is that they lack sophistication.” Immediately followed by a farting sound. I enjoy self-deprecating humor as well as the next one, but blood elves hardly seem the “fart joke” type. Mine certainly isn’t–and the few times I risk the “/silly” emote on my main, that’s invariably the one that comes up. I don’t use it anymore with him for that reason.
I’m not saying the emotes don’t exist, I’m just saying they’re a pretty small part of how the races are characterized, and are deliberately over the top and goofy compared to the regular characterization. We’re talking about two lines of dialogue out of hundreds. I don’t see that being a controlling factor in the casting of the movie.
As for their accents, I don’t hear any trace of a lisp at all. They do come across as snobby and a bit prissy - they did start out as High Elves, after all. That doesn’t read as gay to me, though.
Not really sure what you mean by their stance being “hippy.”
Again, the Blood Elves sound just like half of Clarke’s other characters - Leonardo turtle, Max Sterling, etc.
That’s exactly what the makers of* Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within* thought, and look what happened there. Filmmaking should be left to filmmakers.
Look at it this way: I’ve never played WoW, but I’d be happy to see a fantasy movie directed by Sam Raimi. No way I’d pay money for a 2-hour cutscene.
So I found an interesting article in Wikipeadia here that kind of touches on what I am hearing. Especially this:
So, I don’t know but it just seems to me that there is a lot of this going on with the Belfs. As to the “hippy” it is that random animation that the toons do. Like the femal Night Elf’s bounce or the Male Night Elf’s shoulder thing that they do. The Belfs sort of stand on one leg and shoot a hip out. Anyway, I am sure that I have hijacked this thread enough.
