Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

Unfortunately. At some point I'm sure we will have political lines drawn around whether or not the sky is blue.

Technically it's more of a cyan. Gauntlet thrown.

I thought it was more of a chartreuse. Come at me.

Wait... is not red?

The existence of LGBT+ people, and the acknowledgement that they exist and that some people simply are attracted that way, is not in itself political.

Even that's a stretch. Even acknowledging their existence in media can get called out by political pundits.

Can we just not bring the SJW stuff onto the game? Leave it on Twitter and Tumblr where it belongs. And by that I don't mean the LGBTalphabetsoup stuff. If they put it in the game fine. But the complaining about representation and if it's there or not, and all of that. Just leave it to the cesspools of the internet. People use games to escape reality. Don't drag reality in.

Honestly, there's no escaping it. It's everywhere. However, I do think that we are finally at a tipping point where people have had their fill and then some and just want it to go away.

This went down about as well as I expected...

I was about to say the game doesn't really specify one way or another, but there's a few instances. Thancred is shown to be interested in women (early on, at least) tho could just be for info-gathering, Alphinaud too apparently? Urianger seemed pretty into Moenbryda, female characters are not allowed relationships lest the nerds riot actually Krile and Mikoto (who?) express interest in male characters so there's that...

On the flip side besides the WoLsexual characters (Haurchefant, Alisaie, Aymeric??) I can only think of the Wanderer's Palace (Hard) duo, a Hyur and a Miqo'te both male... which, yeah there's barely anything...

Hopefully Ryne and Gaia, as reasonably major characters, can change that but that's probably not happening

Don't answer to this thread. It will only make the necro pay off for our usual forum troll.

Well... that's true, but they're not the one who made the thread, and I think this's something worth discussing.

Discuss it on a non Troll post?
