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

[Lexia]

How about no? Just cause it 2017 doesn't mean anything, you know why LGBTQ community gets so much hate cause of stuff like this. The LGBTQ community thinks they have to shove it in everyone face, whether it be movies, tv show, games, (target) bathrooms. I personally have no problem with said community, there even couple gay people at my work and they great people and I view them just like anyone else. What I start having issue with is with the members of the LGBTQ community start thinking or even demanding in some cases I have seen that they get representation in everything. I have seen some movies/tv shows do it subtle where it there but don't notice which in that case it feels natural and most won't complain but if want to put a spotlight on it as one said "hey look at me" that when people get annoyed/upset about it.

Mandatory representation for the sake of not appearing discriminatory only serves as a way to make one look even more discriminating. It's 2017. Why can't we all just coexist and not worry about what others are and just worry about ourselves. If SE does or doesn't want to put a "prominently" LGTB character in their game, it doesn't matter either way.

[Vexander]

No offense, but how do we -know- that we don't have one? Couldn't Y'shtola be into women? Maybe Thancred's constant need to hit on everything with breasts stems from insecurity of others finding out he actually likes guys? Maybe Lyse likes girls? How about Yugiri? Merwlyb seems like she might be the sort to go either way, and as for Raubahn, well, someone making a fortune out of a career as an oiled up scantily clad guy fighting other oiled up scantily clad guys is suggestive enough. Given the undertones in most of our encounters with Aymeric I could see him passing as Bi.

My point here is, the story doesn't really have any elements to it that would -require- any kind of romantic or sexual exposition on behalf of the main characters. So why should we have one that's just, "We need to defeat Garlemald, destroy the Ascians, and oh by the way, I'm gay?"

[Edit]: Sigh... I fell for a Skyrior thread. 10/10 Trolling.

..........

There is no implied romantic relationship with anyone, be it male or female. But I guess being one of the first MMO's to allow marriage not limited by gender doesn't count for anything huh?

I'm gay and I'm not INTERESTED in the slightest of getting a gay protagonist in game. As simple as that

Who are we to demand this sort of stuff?

maybe the same kinda people who demand crossdressing and the likes.

They're not exactly prominent but wasn't the adventurer couple for Wanderer's Palace (hard) gay?
I'm playing with the German client and distinctly remember them mentioning they had to leave their home because of their orientation.

The English counterpart to this was that it wasn't so much that they were both male that they had to leave their home, it was because one was a Hyur Highlander and the other was a Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon.

Terrible idea if you ask me.

Terrible idea if you ask me.

I agree, but you tell them.

Theres some specific thread that, albeit covered up, is basically all about it.
