I mean, that’s a fairly blatant attempt to take seriously what very obviously intended as a tongue-in-cheek remark.
It feels very likely that you overreacted to my mark in order to pick a fight with a total stranger on a web forum in order to waste time that you definitely have too much of on your hands.
If their opinion is doing more harm than good, which it is, then they don’t deserve a voice. Anyone who lobbies for a total ban of all non-heterosexual representation in anything is doing a deliberate act of harm.
It’s people like you who do more harm than good. Denying my claims because I don’t fit “the status quo of being gay”. Every single person is different. We grow up differently. We are raised differently. We have different experiences in life.
I live in Louisiana where coming out as gay may as well have been a death sentence back when I was in highschool. I came out to my closest friends and a few of them turned on me. Beat me and chased me down. It’s a hard thing to deal with but, I moved passed it. What’s harder to deal with is people denying my existence because I don’t agree with one side of an argument when there is more than one story to tell. But, you have the right to speak how you want and I won’t take that away from you.
Given that most of the folks who replied got the joke? Yeah, it 100% was. Its okay if you didn’t get it, though…sometimes in the rush to flex keyboard muscles, the joke flies completely over one’s head. Happens to the best of us.
I’m fine with representation in video games. Just not as a means to appease an audience. Do it because it’s your vision and not what anyone else wants.
