LGBTQ+ Megathread & Lounge (Part 1)

Happy Talentsmas Eve.

We are all layed back and awesome over there. We don’t tolerate hate there, anymore then you all do here. A lot of people are crossed over. Anything pretty much goes over there and everyone is welcome.

I’m not saying don’t come here, because this thread is awesome as well. Both are great. We are very supportive of people over there. Only nice people allowed over there, it’s a fun thread. :blush:

Man my brains just on an FF7 kick lately. Not that thats a bad thing mind you

Is it a bit of a hot take to say I kinda like this version more than the original? Like don’t get me wrong. EVERY version of this song is amazing. But holy heck did this turn me into the “No fear” ( something scary happens ) “ONE FEAR” meme once it kicked in.

new players: dude why are you freaking out?
us vets of the game: YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

We don’t need to imagine. People constantly try it, then whine when the thread gets shut down for devolving into bigotry.

Good thing this thread doesn’t have the word “only” in the title and the unacceptable topics are things anyone would understand

That and “WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO FIGHT HIM YET I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON”

Summary

As we then clearly see that Remake is a sequel

Not the same as a marginalized community. So the comparison doesn’t work and never has.

You also don’t need to be LGBTQ+ to support more inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines because some people are able to discern that while they may not be apart of this marginalized community they know that representation in media like this game we all play is a real problem, so are here to support as such.

The key to being an ally is never speaking over or for the group of people you’re standing in solidarity with however. And I notice a lot of people who claim to be allies while also screaming about how we don’t need this thread show that they aren’t real allies because had they been they would listen when LGBTQ+ people have voiced why this thread is important.

Heck some straight allies are more gay than me and I say that with affection. ( Translation: Sometimes they’re more into lgbt stuff than me lol ) Like One Topic on youtube or The Click.

I was thinking of it from the POV of how many straight romances I ship or fan over in media. I know a lot of my straight friends who enjoy LGBTQ+ storylines, in WoW alone several really like Shaw and Flynn. Is it different for them because it has less to do w representation and more entertainment? 100% but they can support the representation and also on a personal level enjoy the stories too.

Heh both groups have a “ooo this is different” when more straight focused media does something else for a change.

Reminds me of how a looooooooooooooooooootta straight dudes romanced Dorian Pavus in Dragon Age Inquisition. He was that awesome.

lil smooch to my Dorian plushie :heart:

Ah the days when I still thought I had some straightness…

That said I know so many people who are entirely straight who romanced him.

And he deserves every bit of love honestly. Still wish the game would let me be a poly relationship with Bull and Dorian.

Altho the mods people made to remove Dorian’s mustache terrified me. Its like that monsters inc gif of “put that thing back where it came from OR SO HELP ME”

If its bigotry for one group but acceptable for others, then its just plain bigotry all around

Toleration doesn’t mean one tolerates the intolerant.

If folks wanna come in here, they can. Just don’t expect a bunch of door mats to walk on

Speaking of door mats, fiances parents found one that says “wipe your paws” with a bear on it.
