No Pride seasonal event?

[Renalt]

Trans people exist all over the world, and they've existed before America existed.

Do you think trans people were just...invented in 2019 or something hahahahaha

I WANNA think what they are trying to say is in America we try to bring any and every issue around with foghorns and sound and fury.

Everywhere else in the world it is just a thing that happens and people don't feel like they'll need to put a spotlight on it. It's just accepted and that's all.

It's Pride month, not day.

So for companies it's pretend-to-care-about-LGBTQIA+-month-please-forget-our-latest-homophobic-ad-that-wasn't-even-that-long-ago

I pass to that. All so fake. I hate it.

Hm, hard to say. In the UK there's a pretty strong anti-trans movement happening right now, not too dissimilar to the frenzy you're seeing in red states in the US. And many portions of the globe are violently anti-LGBT.

You're not entitled to a special event just because you made a lifestyle choice, just play the game ffs.

Honestly, they are going to get it eventually. It's already an international celebration around the world. Companies like Blizzard are slowly adding it into their products. It's only a matter of time before FFXIV feels peer pressured into following suit. It's not even really an if anymore but a when. Especially when most cooperate offices have made it a celebration in-house. For example, at my job, they actually invite LGBT people in and make us listen to their life stories just to spread the message. They don't do this for any other religion or race or ideology. It just goes to show you how big of a deal this one happens to be.

It's easier to just pile on the "America sucks" bandwagon, though.

I mean, yeah, as an American, America DOES suck, but still.

I mean, it's certainly better than the opposing message of book burnings/bannings, terrorizing trans kids, and ongoing support for sustained racial hierarchies.

Any of imposed message is bad. None of the message is good, be it left leaning and right leaning.

I just want good movies and video games.

In my experience, most people just don't care one way or the other. Unless you force it upon them, at which point they tend to react negatively/hostility.

All stories have a message and are by their nature social and political. You don't sound vey media literate.

There wouldn't be such a movement if schools weren't visited by the charlatans of that specific movement whom then read to kids as young as 8 about certain topics that are of a sexual nature.

There wouldn't be such a movement if people from this specific paradigm were not hell-bent on the conversion of anyone whom has even the slightest "question/query" about the efficacy of the movement and its actual goals.

There wouldn't be such a movement if companies and organisations both televised and otherwise wouldn't be constantly trying to ram this flawed ideology down our throats under the guise of "empath/virtue".

Need I continue?
