I appreciate Square Enix supporting LGBT rights in FFXIV.

Who cares? Why was this brought back up again.

Everyone who gets so butthurt over another's interpretation of their relationship, obviously.

there's nothing to interpret, though, but you already know that
though, virtue signalling and trolling to stick it to the insecure "cishet straights", despite not caring about it, wouldn't that make you the snowflake?

edit: I win, yay! also I'll have the last word!

Sure, buddy. You're free to think whatever you want that makes you feel like you got one up on me.

Fun fact: male friends in India hold hands.

kind of sad that many men don't do it because they might be considered gay if they're seen doing it and could result in nasty rumours, even though I know a few 'cishets' who'd love to be able to be as 'touchy feely' as gals without being, well, seen as batting for the other team, same with showing emotions
these societal double standards are actually kinda sexist, tbh

Theres no evidence to suggest they were a couple.

It's a shame the Ryne and Gaia sitation is very... queerbaity. I adore them and think it would be great if they where LGBTQ+, but I get the feeling thats not the case. Prove me wrong Yoshi ion future updates please!

Overall I must admit, I do wish that we could get another explicate LGBTQ+ character in the game... we have not really had any since the post ARR patch's, from what I can tell. Doesn’t even have to be a main character (Though that would be neat!) but given how often we interact with side characters who mention their wives and husbands etc would it really hurt if the odd one happened to have a same sex partner?

Yeah, but it's also their culture not to do it. Who is anyone to dictate someone elses culture?

Also, men holding hands is the least of Indias social problems.

Wow this poster gives me heavy T.a.t.u. vibes, and given how popular they were in Japan in 00s I wonder if they maybe took some inspiration from them?
