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

Went a bit too far with this one, Skyrior ;T

It's sad to see just how many people are willing to spout homo/transphobic stuff without stopping to think twice. Can we just get the thread deleted now?

glad (not really, quite disappointed actually) to see the typical vile homophobic attitude of the internet is not lost on these forums

Remember kids, disagreeing = being homo/transphobic.
And then the LGBT community wonders where the negative sentiment against them comes from.

There´s only so many "xxist" and "xxphobic" words (and related tantrums/accusations) one is willing to take before eyerolling even at the simple mention of any pertaining acronym.

Yeah it's so hard being straight. You get shunned by religious family, attempt suicide, sent to conversion camps, get jailed or killed in many countries. Oh wait...

He didn't say he had it hard being straight.

Actually I almost have to agree with Saga. There's no point in adding an LGBT character just to have one. If one is included I'd rather it not be a huge deal™. Let Y'shtola kiss her girlfriend/partner and then have said partner be integral to the story. Otherwise, all you've done is say "Y''shtola has a partner. That's all there is to this character." And people who think that shouldn't be labeled as homophobic or transphobic just because they have that opinion.

Whoever needed to read it has already done so.

And the reason why i do not claim to belong to the LGBT community is because i do not want to be related to professional whiners like you.
I have nothing to do with nor i want any part in any SJW group and i do not need it to "defend me" because i do not let my preferences define who i am.

Thanks you. You sir deserve more likes

[Dreggit]

Not getting into the gender debate and people's personal preferences but what would having a character who is defined in this way have any impact on the story?

In my eyes. The story and it's characters are defined and played out by its creators. I don't think that outside influences should affect the stories direction or its characters no matter what the community may want. Purely from a story standpoint, it's up to Yoshi.

This topic may not be a proper place for the forums in that it generates controversy

Dude, you're not gay. By you're own definition, you're barely bi.

The hilarity of the sentiment you just tried to push out and then telling him he's "barely bi" and then calling him an uncle tom.
Girl, sit down. You're being thrice as ignorant by preaching that kind of rubbish.
His concerns shouldn't be dismissed or eradicated because he prefers women.
