    Are you really offended by the fact that they didn't put same-sex couples in the only 3 couples of the quest just to fill some sort of "representation quota"?

    There was no Miquo'te couple in this quest. Do all Miquo'te players should be offended by that?

    Yes, it's a missed opportunity. But nothing more than that. Stop being offended by everything.

    The gay couple from the WP HM quest were adorable, I haven't done the event yet but I was hoping they would make an appearance. Unfortunate.

    Except, y'know, gay people are real and representation in media actually affects them, whereas Miqo'te aren't... real...

    I agree that it isn't a big deal, we are represented elsewhere in the game (see: above), but it would've been nice to feel included in a holiday about love and romance.

    Well, representation for minorities in media does actually matter a lot. As long as it isn't shoehorned in, it's definitely important. It helps "normalize" it for people so that prejudice lessens and it helps people who are struggling with their identity come to terms with it. That may sound weird, but it's legitimate and it happens a lot.

    Yes, we should. We are the maste race, after all.
