Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[Midareyukki]

You say no one wants that, but the loudest portion of that community has made it pretty clear they will never be satisfied unless those attributes are front and center.

Then they themselves don't know what they're asking.

It still doesn't mean that's representation.

Let them whine. You've seen other posts here in this website, do you think every single idea people have is good? If people don't think and care to know the topic and the concept, then it will never be done right.

But it also doesn't mean that it's wrong to ask for representation in general. Nor that it in itself is a bad thing. The reason I wrote all that is because I keep seeing people shut down the very idea without telling the people you're criticising "No, that's not how they should do it. No one in real life makes it their one unique trait to be gay, and neither should well-written fictional characters".

What they're asking for are token minority characters. Not representation. And we've been proven for the last 30 years how much of a bad idea those are.

So if people are going to criticise them, they should at least also know what representation really is. And why they shouldn't avert it entirely either. Because that's what I keep seeing. People see a bad interpretation of the concept, and deny the concept entirely.
