No love for V-day.

If Thancred were hitting on men instead of women would the main storyline be affected in any way?

The entire subplot concerning him and F'lhammin would have to be changed.

Bisexuality exists.

Bisexuality exists.

Yes, it does. Which would mean your statement would have to read:

If Thancred were hitting on men and women would the main storyline be affected in any way?

In which case, the answer would of course be no. It might even be more entertaining. However, you said

If Thancred were hitting on men instead of women would the main storyline be affected in any way?

In which case, the answer is yes. Because there's at least one instance of this being relevant.

Though it's been hinted at by a couple people I think this deserves a brief cultural explanation.

Valentine's Day is celebrated in Japan as a holiday where females give (traditionally after making) chocolate to males. The holiday still has a romantic context, somewhat, but it's mostly just celebrated in exactly this way. A girl in Japan might give chocolates to her entire class. A woman, to her entire office or team of coworkers. One month later, on "White Day," the males who received chocolate give a gift back to the same females.

This is why last year's event had us trading chocolates with the opposite gender. And it's why, this year, all three of your NPC clients are female while the recipients are male. That's what the holiday entails in Japan, disconnected from necessarily the idea of romantic love.

Yoshi be like -


"Not this fucking thread again."

Why do people think that any form of media has to add in minorities to fill some some of hidden equality quota?

This guilt-tripping over the lack of homosexual relationships in the holiday event is offensive in itself. You should stop being ignorant about how you want to force SE and everyone else who plays to accept your ideals.

This and this.

Seriously I am fine with homosexuals but all these crap is making the LGBT community at large look terribad.

Half of the new raid grp I joined recently are homosexuals and they wouldn't even give much of a shit to little things like this and be so butthurt about it.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about since you insist on talking about ideologies as if this matter is an opinion someone can agree or disagree on instead of a fact of life that you'll have to come to terms with sooner or later, so I won't reply to you anymore.

Choosing to ignore what I explained, (yet again), as well as telling me I -have- to come to terms with homosexuals existing, as if its existence is a deniable fact, to try and have some sort of misguided last word is sad. You said there was no sob story, I elaborated, and now you're strawmanning again. You really aren't contributing anything at this point because you're still, (several hours later), only reading what you want to read and trying to force acceptance of the ideology that this whole thread is really based around.

The gay couple in the WP HM questline were not even major NPCs nor were we ever going to see them again afterwards (that we know of yet, anyway). Why were they able to give representation there, in what is arguably an even smaller and less noticeable role than the Valentione event, yet give absolutely no representation whatsoever for the event meant to be about love? Please don't act as if SE's hands were tied on this due to some arbitrary restraints.

I'd argue that their role is larger and more noticeable. Everyone is going to do the quest to unlock WP HM. In a week, nobody will ever do this Valentione's quest again.
