Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[Hurlstone]

I kinda miss when this thread was about 'Subtlety Vs Direct’ inclusion. Sure trying to convince people for the 21st time that no, we actually do not want LGBTQ+ characters with just one trait felt like banging my head against a wall, at least then it kinda had a a basis in the topic at hand!

I would have liked to try and explain why I think despite their flaws, LGBTQ+ and apparent ‘identity politics’ organisations and movements really are still needed in the world given how equality laws are being rolled back and places like the UK are becoming more and more hostile to trans folk by the day, but I feel doing that here on a MMO forum would be like lighting a candle with slippery hands in a fireworks factory.

Also, I do think its sad to call people degenerates for simply shipping fictional characters. Let people do what they want! Its not harming anyone. Besides, we are all gonna be degenerates in someones view. None of us are perfect!
