I know a joke when I see one. I also know insults when I see them. Please, be honest with yourself. You must understand that some things you said could have offended people or caused them to feel upset.
See we can all have a debate and get along in the end.
Just the ones on top, the ones on the bottom are still stuck together.
And what does that have to do with our previous posts friend.
fixed, I don’t know how I missed that… guess it was just a lot to type lol. I also had to hit enter twice to get it to be how I wanted, but IDK if that has anything to do with it.

I usually get along with people I argue with in the end. Unless they refuse to stop insulting me. I’m not like the stereotypes you’re so eager to paint on me.
Bro a lot of things offend a lot of people all the time. You gotta learn to let that shiz roll off your back, dude. Some people INTEND to hurt, then yeah your pain is justifiable. But if someone offends you inadvertently you cant assume they hate you or anything you stand for. If we all were worried about offending everyone all the time we wouldn’t speak. Many opinions differ,just try to be aware of those who simply disagree and those who are out to get you. Dont let that stuff get to you bc those people are sad and worthless.
I can’t when you make it personal and say things about me that aren’t true.
I’m saying that you said it would seem unnecessary, thus, the perception that it seems unnecessary would therefore make it appear, well, unnecessary. Which makes it, in the end, probably uneccessary.
You said things about me that were untrue. I’m not a hateful person in the slightest. I have videos of me marching for equal rights. So how do you think your comment makes me feel?
Again, I said that if his sexuality was added in his backstory, it would be seen by the same people complaining now as just as unesesary. As in, people would still complain about your fix for the problem.
If your argument requires you to debate an imaginary opponent it’s likely not a strong argument now is it?
I’m not other people and can’t speak for them, though. Cmon man people will complain about anything for whatever reason. You have recreational complainers out there. So, yeah, you’re right, there are people who would’ve said “meh agenda.” Someone like ME with some sense would’ve been like “Oh he’s gay. Yo that tac visor is dope!”
You guys should really check put this guys post of you haven’t already.

Reveal it from the outset when the game is at the zenith of its popularity, not when it’s waning.
The only thing I said that could offend you is “people like you” and “hateful”. Which was in response you claiming I like being a victim and other stereotypes, which is untrue. By you saying things like this, I assumed you are the type of person to be hateful, which wasn’t unreasonable.
When you say things about me that aren’t true, I’m less likely to care about your feelings. I’m sorry if my objection to stereotypes offends you. I understand you aren’t homophobic, I never specifically said you were.
We can only make assumptions online with the limited interaction we have with others, so we base it on what they say. It happens. Was never trying to offend tho. Idc that Soldier is gay, I just disagree with how Blizzard went about it. I’m offended by what seems like an unempathetic development rather than something meant as representation for others.
If people complain about everything but some people still enjoy it, why does it need to be changed to start with?
With such a very large community so eager to freak out about it, Blizzard had to be careful on how they reveal things like this. Yet, no matter how they go about it, it would have got criticised and accused of being forced and having an agenda by some people.
If you were in Blizzard’s position, how would you reveal Soldier to be gay? Do you think you could have done a better job?

You can’t… change to start with? That’s what establishing is. If you establish that first then most people wont care. This is why people don’t like when their already established characters are changed (Johnny Storm: Black, The Ancient One: White Female, The Ghostbusters: All female, Ghengis Khan: White Male, Light [Deathnote] White Male).
People will always complain about these changes and it isnt reserved for homosexuals. People inherently dislike change. Its within our nature. But if you preestablish something, often people will overlook it.
You’re right but in this particular case s76 never had an established sexuality to begin with, so nothing was changed.
