It's 2017, when can we get a prominent LGBT character in the storyline?

Watches Arutan & ExKage

There's a girl in Revenant's Toll in the Waking Sands who talks about being okay with a -threesome- with her boyfriend's brother. A -threesome-



How is it even two up?????

The girl in Revenant's Toll isn't a main quest thing. this is about the main quest. And as I said - and you poignantly ignored - in the main quest the only romantic interest you are shown comes from Haurchefaunt and Aymeric who are two men.

You do know that it's over a decade old term? It's not new and it doesn't encompass the entire queer community.

-.-

And I live in a close-knit BWAM/BHI community(Black. White, Asian, Mixed/Biracial, Hispanic, Islander) and quite frankly I don't think that acronym represents the LGBTQUILTBAG+÷^ people and the MWTBKt people(Men, Women, Toddlers, Kids, Babies, teenagers)

So to keep it simple, we just called it a Neighborhood.

It's fascinating how accepting you all are.

Ah, old misplaced sarcasm.

Not supporting the demand for the creation of characters destined not to enrich the story, but to support an agenda that has nothing to do with the game (which already leaves plenty of room for anyone to identify hundreds of characters however they want), is completely unrelated to being accepting or not.

As much as some would certainly like to artificially link the two things to disingenuously paint those who don't agree with them in a negative light.

Mide and her lover (Au Ra in the Alexander line)
Livia and her unrequited love for Gaius.

Actually, I have never once said that there must be QUILTBAG representation or insertion. I've only asserted that it is not hard or laborious.
A) It's easily done just like Mide and her lover (Alexander line) or Livia and her unrequited love for Gaius. Or the general rampant amount of sexual innuendo. It's really not that hard.

B) That there's quite a bit of anti-queer/anti-QUILTBAG sentiment expressed in this thread. "How dare you assume their gender!!?!1" meme. The general assumption and assertion that those who are genderqueer or do not fit the gender binary (Intersex, nonbinary, genderfluid) are just trying to be 'special snowflakes'.

Unless sex is some new 4.0 mechanic I don't see the point. There aren't even romance themed plot lines at the forefront of the game anyway. Seems pointless to add.

I don't care that Aymeric and Haurchefaunt are interested in the WoL. I'm just pointing out that there's already LGBTQ support in the mainstory when the mainstory isn't really about that and there's no heterosexual equivalent, so demanding for more lgbtq representation is, perhaps, greedy.

This has never been more this in the entire history of this.
This.
