Why I am grateful....

[TheRealMadruck]

It has been over 10 years for me being on FF14. Minus this being my second account giving my 1st account to my past significant other...I am grateful!

Why?

Because I believe FF14 does something within society that no other MMO has done. Perspective!
I am still firmly solid regarding my perspective regarding many factors of life today in where I live.
But as a person with a certain perspective, I appreciate the exposure FF14 has done for a broader opinion of player than normally would not align to my own.

I am a LGBT+ player! Many may not agree with my notions, and I can see issue with this. But in Eorzea. this notion becomes wash! I do dungeons, raids, roulettes with all walks of life that in the real world may not agree with who I am but can respect that we all are human. FF14 is the avenue that allows this to happen. And I am nothing but grateful for this affect.

To many who play FF14 and disagree with my choices in life, I do not agree but understand. I can at least afford you the respect that you bury this at the login screen. Either because of your own lack of knowledge or a firm believe in "live and let live". You are not hated by me, but hopeful. I hope many who do not agree with who I am can relate the same metric of respect we normally get in game to the real world. But time is the only answerer to this question.

To all those who are in game that does not align to myself...remember as I already mentioned, I do not hate you...but quite the opposite. I hope you all the best both in the real world and Eorzea to all the future adventures we both will face!

Be well!!!
