Now that FF16 will feature LGBT+ characters, can we get some rep in FF14 too?

Well personally I'm not asking for that. I'm not sure anyone here is (except Titanmen but you know he's here for that kind of inflammatory takes). If representation can be done in meaningful ways, it's all the better.

I think thats one of the things that has always bugged me about these debates here, they get started and people seem to jump straight (haha) ahead and assume that people want offensive caricatures who mention their sexuality every 12 second and are predatory perverts. I do not think anyone has ever really said they want that, well perhaps TitanMan but they could not be more obvious a troll if they lived under a bridge. Dion is the exact type of character people actually want, someone who is a well-written individual where his sexuality is a building block of who he is, not the entire foundation. The fact there has not been as much blowback about it as expected is a welcoming sign (Even if its still depressing to see some rage against it) and honestly I think its worth the ban in Saudi and the like. They could have easily cut it and taken the cash, but they did not, and for all the crap SE has been doing of late, this choice is one I respect.
