I didnāt enjoy how they handled their reveals. It was more like āhere you go LGBT/GLBT people, now shut upā.
Instead, I think that if you arenāt going to tell a story with your gay characters, or if you arenāt going to make your characters organically gay, thereās no reason to bring up their orientation in the first place.
Exactly, confidential statues are more healthier for the community cause itās such a high controversial argument
And why should we care which character Bastion wants to stick his bullets in again?
Iād be down if they actually ditched the whole āweāre groundbreaking bc our gay guy is gruffā stereotype.
Itās something straight guys do when they LGBT buying power but donāt want to properly write them in. Soldier just happens to be out when heās an anonymous vigilante whose interpersonal relationships have crumbled apart and he has no time for either friends nor lovers and very little personality. Itās wack and itās fan service.
If youāre gonna develop the character then develop them.
Makes no sense to force the mysterious character to be open for 2 paragraphs for fan service and then close them up for the rest of the series. If youāre gonna put gayness on a character, either write them that way or make it make sense within their personality (someone open about their life, like Baptiste, Lucio, heck even Hanzo was written more open ended at that point).
I just really donāt like forced fan service and the self congratulatory attitude Chu had afterwards. It was really low effort and if thatās the writing team on overwatch I really would not want to be pandered to. Yes I am gay
The Lgbt whatever has spiralled out of controll, just let us be who we are in peace, we moved from one lable to the next. In the end weāre just people. Let Blizz design a characterās lore or story around it with good writing or not at all, if they do it because people on the forums asked for it itās going to suck.
PrĆ©judice only exists when people donāt talk enough about a topic.
Thus more LGBT heroes are a good idea
Just play the āAssume everyone is Blank until proven otherwiseā.
What I do. And I find it fun when new lore and biographical information is given.
So if itās not to you thenā¦why do you care so much about people making these kinds of threads?
Lore and character developments ARE factors for some peopleās enjoyment and engagement.
(I mean itās why MK11 Sindel caused such an uproarā¦)
Because its kind of useless if its not going to add something to the lore or gameplay itself, also chu revelaed soldier sexuality just in a Tweet, just like āsure yeah yeah he is gay now leave me aloneā
Again, I donāt understand why people think itās absolutely crucial to implement gender preferences and same sex relationships. Bringing out a character thatās LGBT+ causes more problems. We donāt need to label our heroes. They are heroes. Thatās all we need to know, we donāt need to know what their orientation is. If your gay. Thatās great. But we donāt need to label them.
Keeping our heroes ambiguous is a better and healthier option, because clearly right now. We get controversial arguments and it wastes everyoneās time and hurts everyone
This is just going to generate more hate and toxicity in the community, people dont like things shoved down their throats
Labeling heroes is important.
People want to feel attached to the heroes.
They need reasons to love them. Lore helps alot there.
Wrong. The LGBTQ is the most vocal movement I can think of. Who sleeps with who has no place in a video game. Use your imagination if you want to fill in the blanks. Not every books, movie, tv show, comic, anime, manga or video game has to have LGBTQ characters. As someone from Africa, even racism will never die, regardless of how much you speak of it. Maybe we should stop speaking of it for once and see what happens.
Edit: Iām the biggest lore nerd there is, and never once have I formulated my opinions around a character or wondered who he/she sleeps with. Iād rather take the juicy Zen lore theyāve been saving for us.
Its not even just that. Its something that poor writers, regardless of orientation, do when they want brownie points. We call it āpandoringā and its nothing that anyone should put up with.
However, I do agree with this:
It really is.
Thats only because michael confirmed it in a tweet before and needed some āloreā to back it up
Dude i like u and not even gayā¦ U a South African?
WRONG
Psychologe shows that implementing topics in the daily life of people, especillay during their childhood, makes them more tolerant towards it.
Itās not importantā¦you literally have someone who is gay saying they donāt want this to be a thing.
Can you not be respectful? I canāt actually believe you are doing this. Literally gay people out in the world who wants to be known as a human they donāt need labels neither do fictional characters
You have done nothing progressive other then start another controversial argument thread.
Lmao yes I am (ja ek is 
)
We just now got the first likely African American character who happens to be a black woman. Yāall got the poster girl and Soldier. Maybe let other groups have their representation before trying to just look out for your own.
Sojourn is a lesbian.
