Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[Raoabolic]

My first crush was honestly to danny phantom and i was 11 at the time and honestly i did have dreams of marrying danny at the time and having a wedding in the ghost zone with ember playing the music and stuff

Let's be real. That wasn't your first crush, that was your first husbando. Not to mention your past sounds a lot like you have a bunch of baggage to deal with but everyone has that, it's up to you to deal with how it will change your outlook. Fore example, my baggage ensures that I can't have a proper friendship due to the average person's self destructive nature. At some point you need to take a step back and look at things objectively. In this case, are you making the story better or are you just signaling to yourself at the expense of a product?

Yep those ideals shouldnt have been pushed on you as a child thanks for proving my point =) let kids grow up and learn to make educated decisions based on facts not feelings.

okay lets accept your logic no more allowing kids to be taken into churchs no more allowing kids to have to say pledges no more forcing sports on kids..

My point was that back then this was 1993-2010 there was no support I'm happy that today the kids don't have to go through what some of us did they have things that will help them. and I do take a step back it made me strong, and showed me the cold reality that family is nothing

Strange I got no issues with that.... can we agree to stop pushing "sexuality on kids now"?

Also if you where abused as a child I think your parents are POS and I'm glad you escaped and are alive.

thats bullshit and you want to know why I grew up in the bible belt small town and I hate christanity with every fiber in my body it doesnt shape the child lol I mean if it drilled into their headbrainwashy it "can" but no its not lol I had noone suggesting to me in fact i was ment with being emotionally abused and physically abused went through 13 YEARS of torture because i mention I was a girl ...

so No your wrong and ur bullshit is wrong

Ok I feel bad for you. I wish you better luck at future.

I didn't know such a horrible thread existed here, this really needs to be taken down.

but I would really apprecite a side character maybe a trans mtf bun boy or cat boy

And others would find it very offputting going by the thread. Guild Wars 2 has a character like that I believe so there are options.

Hm, good point but people here aks for it as a focus and thats whats weird to me. If it would be just part of the world, why the hell not but SE avoids this topic most of the time completly (probably rating reasons). Also having a "trans" person in the story just for the sake of it, is just "chekcboxing" and not honest. In my opinion Cid and nero are a tragic couple but SE will never say something about (or did they and i missed it?).

Furthermore my point stands, does it make a change if Emet would be gay ? No because the story avoids this topic (sexuality) almost completly (except some lovestorys but these are superficial and do not go deeper) and be honest we are not here for this, we here for a good "hero story" and there is no need for this topic at all. It would interesting but, in my opinion, it would drive the rating up and this something SE do not want.

I'm only focusing on gay people here. I also never thought Cid and Nero were a couple. The thought never occured to me.
I think we are too hung up on the sexuality aspect rather than love. We have had npc's of the same sex who love each other already present in the game (wanderer's palace and that one npc who mentioned her wife during some event). Neither of these drove the rating of the game up.
I just want to say again I don't think there needs to be a spotlight on it, but to have it simply exist out there in the world doesn't seem like such a bad thing. I certainly don't want any inappropriate content in the game that would drive the rating up, I'm not talking about that sort of thing at all.
By your own admission, we have some love stories that are superficial and do not go deeper in this game already. Have these driven the rating of the game up? Should we remove these stories?

I don't know what compels people to come into a conversation and act superior by saying that the conversation sucks or that it should be deleted or things of the sort. If you don't want to participate then go away.
