Gayorzea: Discord Partner community for LGBT FFXIV players

I guess that answers that, then. A shame, really - I was tempted to join but that response has put me right off. Echo chambers can be very dangerous and unsettling places, after all.

It's definitely not an echo chamber. That happens a lot with small, insular groups sometimes (regardless of the theme/topic of the community), but Gayorzea is pretty large at this point. There are people of all different shapes and sizes, religious denominations, political affiliations, insert-worldview-here, etc. It's just a place for people who like FFXIV to hang out and talk about this game or others and many other things in a judgment free zone. I've been part of the community for nearly a year, and it has some of the most inclusive people I have ever met.

I think Lethys just wasn't expecting to get so much negative attention from a harmless post, but he hasn't spent much time on these forums either. Please feel free to come check us out sometime!

Fair enough - thanks for the elaboration! I may drop by later, then.
