No Pride seasonal event?

[Final-Fantasy]

Okay so, we apparently have 8.1 million LBGTQA+ players in this game (27 million total players claimed by SE).

Maybe we should have a Pride event, the thing is, only 1 of the 8.1 million LBGTQA+ players seems to think so, on this forum.

Swordbresker is correct, I believe, because all this thread and any post on forcing representation of any kind (race, culture, gender, politics) does is cause psychological reactance, an inborn brain reaction when we feel our freedom is being curtailed or choice limited. I think the OP knows this and that the fastest way to get a group to hate another group is to try to force your beliefs upon them and/or punish others for not agreeing.

This. This is what always said, even my boyfriend said said it. You want people to accept you and like you don´t force them to like you or they will only dislike you. First of not every one will like you and that´s how life is no one on this planet is loved by every one. Secondly if you want people to like you be kind be respectful be a decent human and never ever force them to like you.

And I say it again as I gay my self all I want is to be accepted you don´t need to like me but I want you to treat me like you would treat another human being becuse I'm a human as well but I like dudes. I don´t need flags or parades or event´s I just need to be treated as a human.

I am glad that we are playing a Japanese game...

I live in Japan (and grew up here), but in general the topic is never a big deal (also same with topics such as abortion) because sexual orientation was never a strictly defined thing until Japan started taking a path towards "westernization" and adopted legal codes from other "developed" countries at that time. A wealthy man was praised when they can sustain many concubines including male ones, and male-male romance was praised to some degree among the samurai (and then cascaded to other groups to a certain degree). The major religions in Japan doesn't have anything to really say about these topics, and anyhow religion has historically been very pragmatic in Japan (people have generally practiced multiple religions - Shinto, Buddhism, Confucianism, and a heavily modified Daoism).

Meanwhile, Christianity is a different deal.

Learning about moral structures / values from different cultures with massively different cultural / historical background is a very good practice, but to say one is better than the other is cause for bad things.

What about the other 70%?

The fact that this got 19 upvotes (as of my reply) is disgusting, and you should all be ashamed for your bigotry.

There are still countries where being openly LGBTQIA+ can get you prison time or worse. Go take your crusade to one of those places, your entitled attitude has long since gotten old.

LGBTQIA+ folks are the ones who made this game popular. Over 30% of the game's population is queer. Why is there no Pride month event?

Make one yourself. Do a pride parade through any town, get people to join you. Don't expect this from developers.
