You don’t care about LGBT heroes.
But you click on every single thread, read every single thread, flag every single thread, and comment and argue back and forth in every single thread just to let eveyone know you dont care.
If you REALLY don’t care then stop butting into the conversation.
If you REALLY don’t care, then stop trying to shutdown any and all talk amoung people who DO care.
“I just dont want it to be forced.”
This isnt a real reason. Being LGBT is just another trait like having brown hair or being tall.
Soldier doesnt hop around in game going “I’m white! Look it is I, Jack Morrison, just your normal everyday white man!! Haha!” With voicelines about white american stereotypes and skins to accentuate his white-maleness does he?
No. He doesn’t.
And neither does any other character. You have 0 reason to believe this other than the fact that you’re reaching for one, trying to create a problem that doesn’t exist purely for the sake of it.
“It’s not realistc. 00.655393% of the world–”
This game has a talking gorilla, a cyborg ninja that summons a dragon, a hamster piloting an assault droid, a mexican woman who hacks people, an angry deadpool, a woman that sucks the life from people and another that revives the dead, and a robotic monk that reached nirvanna.
This is like when people argue “historical accuracy uwu” as a reason for not having people of color in fantasy works when there’s DRAGONS and WIZARDS and everything else that didn’t actually exist in ye olden times; because its a fantasy world where that argument holds no water. Its just people cherry-picking what’s “ok” to have and what isnt based on their own delicate sensibilities.
Try again.
“Let blizzard do it on their own time!”
They said there was multiple lgbt heroes. At launch. Asking “hey, when are we going to learn who the other heroes are?” isn’t forcing them to do anything. Its asking a question. It’s no different then asking when the next hero or map or comic or lore will come out yet you have 0 problems with people asking about that
“I DONT care I’m just tired of it clogging the forums!”
Oh really?
Do you also flag the “NERF ___” threads that clog the forums?
Or every single “IM TIRED OF ITS JUST QP” thread that clogs the forums?
Or all the “I’m Qutting OW!” threads that clog the forums?
Or all the “More lore ___” that clog the forums?
Nope. You don’t. Those threads are fine. Those threads can stay but whenever an lgbt person makes a thread going “hey so when will we know more about who the other heroes are?” Thats it. That’s the last freakin’ straw for you. That’s where you draw the line in the sand. That’s when you put your foot down and say enough is enough huh?
INTERESTING.
“Diversity for the sake of it shouldnt–”
Diversity is a myth, as is the concept of “Forced diversity.” You’ve simply been conditioned to see a certain race, sexuality, and even gender as “normal” and dont bat an eye when a market is completely dominated and oversaturated with it; but anything outside of that draws attention.
That is why people are so angry at the new Star Wars movies having a black and female lead calling it “SJW PANDERING” when the very definition of pandering is what we could all the original trilogy AND the prequels— with nothing but white men and Princess Leia/Padme in the spotlight.
That is why people were angry at the new Ghostbusters featuring an all-female cast. If it were a remake with men-- it wouldn’t have received nearly as much backlash.
Walk down Times Square in new york at night and THAT is what the real world looks like. People of all different races, genders, and sexualities seamlessly co-existing.
“I dont play video games to push a political agenda.”
Cool, I don’t either. Being gay isn’t an agenda; especially since they’re already in the game right now – you just dont know it yet. Stop trying to police intrinsic human traits simply because they make idiots uncomfortable. Traits that wouldn’t even be relevant in the game itself and purely serve to flesh out a character.
“It’s not that you’re asking, its HOW you’re asking.”
There’ve been numerous calm, quiet, and respectful threads started by myself and many others on this forum. Funnily enough its not us that hijack and derail these threads. It’s people popping from the woodwork trying to find any excuse they can pull from the iris why gay heroes have to have a 16 chapter YA novel to “justify” their gayness but nobody else is held to that asinine standard.
No. It’s not “How” we’re asking, its that we’re asking at all.
“I’m gay/bi/trans and I don’t care.”
Cool. You want a Mercy statue? I’m black and I don’t care about adding more black heroes to the game; but do I go into every single thread where people are asking for one just to go “UGH?? I DoNT cARe ABOut??? wHy DOeS MATTER???”
No. I don’t. Because some people do care and that’s fine with me.
Because I don’t feel threatened or uncomfortable enough with the thought to race into every single thread like my fave hero is being deleted from the game to write a 4 paragraph thesis of nonsense trying to invalidate what some players would like to see in the future that literally does not affect the game in any capacity.
“Why does the heroes sexuality matter?? I dont play because–”
Cool. If it doesnt matter, if it REALLY doesnt matter, then you’d be indifferent to the reveal of more LGBT heroes and wouldn’t feel so defensive over the prospect to race into every single thread just to say so. 
Now would you?
If it really doesnt matter to you, then you’d be just fine scrolling past the thread and clicking on other threads you actually CARE about.
Some people DO care and they have a right to have these discussions just like any other players discussing any other aspect of the game.
If you don’t care-- don’t click.
If it doesnt matter to you-- don’t comment.
These are not hard concepts.
You’re a smart cookie and I know you can do it.
I believe in you.
