To all the LGTBQ players

[Fatch38]

Not to speak for Fatch, but, imo, if we're supposed to be aiming for a world without prejudice, then it really shouldn't matter if the person in question loves the same gender, opposite gender, no gender, all genders, a specific type of identity, furries, Nintendo DS games, or their baking sheet. Ideally, in my opinion, we should be looking at a person for their overall character.

Otherwise, when it comes to a story, when we only care about a character for what they represent and not the character themselves, then the character is generally nothing but a one-dimensional shitpost/meme/joke waiting to happen. Fatch isn't saying to completely ignore the issue of sexuality, just not to make that the point of the character in the first place.



Speaking as someone who is openly homosexual (because, from my experience, that's going to matter to a lot of people here, in a moment), political correctness for the sake of political correctness is a problem because it forces hypocrisy and insincerity for the sake of forcing disingenuous "acceptance" in the name of fairness. If you want acceptance, it must be earned, much like respect and trust are things you foster.

Frankly, this take on Fatch's statement is liable to do more harm than good. From the outside looking in, to me, it looks like you took their statement the wrong way and started attacking heterosexuality just because they said they don't want the focus of characterizations to be on sexuality and you took that to mean they have something against LGBT. Frankly, this kind of reaction makes it look like we do have an agenda.


This is what Fatch is wanting to avoid. You're on paralel paths to the same conclusion, so try to converge and make a connection.

thanks finally someone who understand what i'm trying to say (english isn't my mother tongue trying my best ^^')

a good character will remain be a good character, it's not by putting randomly an lgbtq+ character into the game for the sake of it that it will make a good one (if it's not well written)

like i said we shouldn't care about someone gender/sexuality IRL then why should we in a game ? even if it can make ppl happy if it's put in a diary/sidequest or when you talk to random npc, i'm ok with it (and saying it for hetero characters too)
