Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

[nebby00]

I've been lurking, reading this dumpster fire of a thread (not surprised it's back... again). Make it stop, mods please just delete this.

Why does NPC need a sexuality just for the sake of it ? The story is based on other aspects so why ? For what purpose ?

I have no comment on the Hythlodeus thing, but I don't think there really needs to be a purpose. Should we just get rid of everything that isn't relevant to the story?
I don't see an issue with adding unimportant things to the game. Like for example, giving the characters in Thavnair accents in the English voice acting. It wasn't necessary at all, but still a nice touch.

It'd be strange if there was a huge spotlight on being gay and giving it way too much attention, but I don't really have a problem with it simply existing. Just don't make it weird.

I think the mods are refraining from locking this thread because they don’t want to be branded as homophobic by a few individuals, let’s be real here

Well, I hope they enjoy the memes this thread will build for the next 200+ pages then. Might as well help bring this thing straight to the moon! :/

Road to 100 again. Electric boogaloo.

Shame the mods interaction is limited to pruning and encouraging passive-aggression. I'm almost curious on their take of the game in a variety of aspects.

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 would actually to know how many of the people that are asking for lgbt representation are part of it, and not just some white whiny 16 yo boys or girls

Yes, yes, it did.

They removed the pages where it was talking about men destroying women's divisions in sports and how it was unfair that males could compete with women with puberty induced advantages.

It just means there will be an opportunity to cover the same thing down the road again like we never had the conversation because it got memory-holed.

The quest to two hundred begins now.

Yup, looking at my post history ... even the cool music vid about how humans aren't clown fish got yeeted into the void.

Apparently, just listing the ways human sexes differ from slugs and certain lizards/ fish is prune worthy. If they mods really wanted to do their job, this whole thread would be thrown away on the bases that it was made by and necroed by a troll.
