Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[Eien713]

I'm aware this is a troll thread but I'll post this anyway. Honest question(s) here: Do minorities need to be represented in every possible medium and work for them to feel validated? Even works that aren't remotely about them and/or their struggles? Isn't feeling validated something that stems from within? I understand they want to be accepted by society for who they are, but is this the way to achieve that? Will being included in every possible medium really change people's opinions or win their acceptance?

This is a game. A fantasy game where no one gives a damn about sexuality as it literally plays 0 role is the story. Who cares if a character is hetero, gay, bi, etc.? This is not what matters in this game or what defines the characters. Everything is about the story. Let's not shoehorn something that's not important to this particular game's story into it. If it happens naturally or plays a role in it, I'm all for it. After all, my headcanon is that 2 certain characters in the bard's later questline have a thing for each other :P But otherwise, don't include it just for the sake of including it. I see a lot of shows "include" or "represent" minorities, but a lot of the time, it feels like they only do it to appeal to a certain audience and that's literally it. Like others said: a checkbox to tick. No noble or grand purpose behind it. I'd rather the characters have more going for them than being token characters.

And what's this about Emet being queer or bi or whatever? Now we're reaching a bit. When I played the game, I didn't get this from him at all. He was just eccentric. That's the only way I can describe him. That's a trait that anyone can have. It's not exclusive to one group or another. Again, let's look at the game for what it is and is about. A fantasy story. One that's certainly not about sexuality.

As for gay or bi people being better at certain things than hetero folks, I'd say this is not related to their sexuality. Some people are better at certain things than others. That's just how it is. It has absolutely nothing to do with their sexual orientation. I'm sorry, but I've never heard something this absurd before. Like, what's the science or logic behind it?
Edit: Even after reading the explanation, I still find it nonsense.
