There has been an influx of players coming from a very anti-LGBT gaming community. They use to play that popular MMO from Irvine California, the one that allowed a very toxic community to thrive. The reality is Square has always been very pro-LGBTQ+, but the World isn't quite ready for all their Gay, Bi, and Trans characters to come out of the closet.

In fact, Japanese Video Game productions have always had tons of LGBTQ+ characters, sadly they use to use the term "New Type" which was a slang term for a Trans woman. Several main characters in early games were "New Type".

LGBTQ+ and Japanese games have gone hand in hand since the 80s. Final Fantasy being especially stand out in this.
