Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

Eeew, wait is this the inspiration of 5 Nights at Freddie?

No it is the inspiration of Among us

Ignoring the cesspool that this thread has become, and realizing this has probably already been said but MAN I was disappointed about how they handled Ryne/Gaia. Some of the phrasing at least in english really implied they were steering towards a relationship that was more than just friends. When it fizzled at the end I was kind of just like "oh..."

Before the usual suspects come out of the woodwork to screech why we're "so obsessed with 2 children being in a relationship", bc unlike in straight people, gay relationships are just nonstop sex, well known fact (/s), I think Eden showed about as much as they could get away with before they'd run into problems in... certain regions.

It was enough for me, personally, I loved Eden to bits, but I get wanting further confirmation. If only Gaia had also showed up in EW, given how brief (and unvoiced) Ryne's cameo was, but ah well...

I see it as a "take it as you will" ending, which I actually prefer over the generic Hollywood kiss and all that crap, regardless of orientation. Whether Ryne and Gaia end up in a relationship, they're friends first and foremost (which is really what any relationship should be based upon anyways, but I digress)

Imo western media has a serious issue separating love and lust, specially when it's about lgbt+ characters.

Jesus, this thread is horrific.

AIDS hit the community pretty hard because it wasn't taken seriously or reported on in any meaningful manner for years. The stigma was so immense that nobody wanted anything to do with it or even treat it as a serious issue. There was no public health campaign or any other attempt at meaningful government action from the Reagan administration until 1987.

It was, quite literally, one of the most horrendously evil cases of negligence in American history and, frankly, the only actions that compare or surpass the damage it did and continues to do were acts of targeted genocide or war.

I can say with full confidence that anyone who actually blames the LGBT community for what happened are either ignorant or awful pieces of human garbage.

Considering that being lgbt+ at the time was way more taboo than it is nowadays, one could argue it lowkey was a targeted genocide (through negligence) - "all the nasty gays are infecting each other and dying, good riddance"

You could make a good argument for that, yeah. When I think targeted genocide I think of actually pulling the lever, but refusing to do anything isn't much different. Saddest part is that it's not even an outlier in terms of the evil shit that's been done to marginalized people in this country. The way indigenous Americans have been treated, for example, clocks in as one of the worst genocides in human history in raw numbers alone.

What the ... is this thread?
I seriously hope this person is trolling cause I was expecting people asking for representation or something and the first thing I read here is someone calling others "murderous and genocidal monsters" like what didi they even do to deserve those titles? Who did they kill?

You're the last person I want to hear talk about mental stability dude lmao
