You got captain marvel I'll give you that. But then look at what star wars has become. Batwoman and Supergirl on CW. 2016 Ghostbusters. Female oceans movie. New Charies angels. When i say 'get woke go broke' it encompasses all the Social Justice for no reason OTHER than Social Justice stuff.

I agree with this person, if they wanted to make a gay character, then do it, whatever, they just didn't REALLY need to make that post for any reason other than attention gathering.
This is a cool thing they're doing, yes, but don't say "hey, I'm doing it, look!"

Okay, your joke was bad. You were not funny. You failed to make anyone laugh. Humor is subjective, sure, but some attempts of jokes are objectively not funny. Continue joking like that and intelligent people won't be hanging around you.

Because throwing the billboard up gives exposure to a cause this is all about. If people were widely accepted, there wouldn't be the need for pride months and other movements concerning other minorities. Every year this same debate goes over and over. It would be best to things to get to a point where people wouldn't so strongly oppose these kind of things. It would be best that movements wouldn't be needed. It is tiring for everyone involved.

Do you have any idea how much money Star Wars made at the box office?

No, the fact they announced it on Twitter proves it was pandering. Didn't think I'd have to spell it out for you.

You're a drama queen aren't you? Lol.

No no now this is what you said word for word
"Anything can be joked about. That's the rule of comedy"
Now if the issue is that you don't want to be banned for it I'm completly up for giving you my social media so you can share :)
And just because the harm is to a lesser extent does not make it okay. It wasn't just about "someone being gay" and the fact that that's all it is in your eyes says a lot about how little you understand about struggles in the gay community that you joke about.
I think the biggest point of this is it's so easy to make actual good jokes for one that aren't about serious issues and struggles but you'll still 'joke' about it anyway

They announced that they realized they'd been adding heterosexual relationships even though they'd previously said they didn't want to explicitly mention characters' sexual orientations at all. Since their vision changed, they're gonna go "all in" on this and reveal more orientations, keeping in mind that the characters do have them, they just weren't always mentioned. That is, quite literally, what they spelled out.

Do you relaize that outside of rottin tomatoes the fans absolutely hated it? Why toys stopped selling. Why the disney park stuggled?
Look at marvel comic book sales. They are the definition of get woke go broke.

Just trying to lighten the mood but OK. I'm sure I might have made one person forcefully exhale but you know guess I'm just a low iq simpleton.

We don't know what is their reasoning. We can only speculate.
1 -
It doesn't look like a joke. Get over it. You failed to add anything for people to realize you were joking.
The main point of your sentence is that a character/person can't be gay because he is too manly. Not that all of a sudden a fictional character has some feelings. Word sentences properly then to represent an idea you want to share.

So why do companies keep doing it, if indeed it always spells doom? Are you saying companies are intentionally burning their money on useless ventures?

Or you could stop being so butthurt and lighten up for once. It was just a joke. Like here's a good one "keys"
1 -
Companies think they will earn more money by doing these things because the left are extremely loud. It's like communism, sounds good but if you look at historyit failed everytime

Yeah this thread is a ######### show. One of the mods should lock this thread as it has devolved into attacks on other people.
3 -
Not to be rude or anything, but where are you seeing heterosexual relationships in this game? The only one I can think of is Julie and Frank, and maybe The Nurse and The Wraith (but idk if thats one's confirmed).

The joke was about fictional character having serious nearly real-life feelings? "my boy David would never be gays he's too manly" The main and the only idea of the sentence to say that someone can't be gay for being too manly. Did you fail English classes? Your intentions and the result do not match because you failed to word it properly.
"The feelings of my manly character David are probably so real that the devs are obligated to reveal that he's not into males!" It still has "he's too manly to be gay" but at least it now kinda represents the main point you tried to make jokingly. Learn to write.

The Nurse's backstory literally mentions her husband. Many characters have such lines in their lore, which is what we should expect for LGBT characters as well.

I would hate having to dumb down everything for everyone. It's called subtlety
0 -
I agree.
0 -
I have no words... Noone will get this "subtlety" without context and proper wording. You had neither. Not even the smartest person will understand you. English isn't my mother tongue but even I can see that you, as a person who speaks it, worded your "joke" poorly. You literally missed a good chuck of information for people to understand your statement you have written jokingly. Stop, I can see that you're defending yourself in the silliest ways possible.
1 -
Why are we still arguing over nothing can we just call it a day and say the joke was fine but wasn't that funny holy crap
0 -
That's because you refuse to acknowledge that the "joke" wasn't even funny at slightest to begin with because noone even got it was a joke. Instead of apologizing, you wrote "the joke was fine but wasn't that funny". It wasn't fine, it wasn't funny. And you refuse to acknowledge that you failed to make it clear the topic of your joke. You insist that it's still somehow funny when it only caused negative reactions and indulgent reactions at best. Instead of learning from your mistakes or attempting to rephrase your "joke", you wrote "It's called subtlety". Didn't know that the disability to write properly is called subtlety now.
Just for you to know, ignorant people cause a lot of negative reactions. If you want to stop being in the spotlight of all the discussions, stop being ignorant. As long as you publicly cherish your ego, it will only get worse.

Why do you need representation in a survival horror game? It's just unnecessary.

How to answer this without the tinfoil hat?
Some have an agenda. Some are scared. Antarctic Press comic book companies. They are independant and agreed to publish a book by an author who criticized the direction of marvel and DC when they started hiring to fill quotas rather than for talent.
President of Antarctic Press started receiving death threats for agreeing to publish that author.
Cancel culture. Anyone who disagrees with the agenda, or fails to toe the line gets 'canceled'. Recently Drew Brees for proclaiming his love for the flag. Actor on the Flash got fired for 8 year old tweets. Tucker Carlson lost 2 major sponsors for disagreeing with BLM.
Long story short, despite the fact that many of the agenda driven products are not being consumed by the public, speaking out against it gets you in trouble.
This doesnt make much sense i dont think. I sometimes have problems explaining things. Just know, nothing i say comes from a place of hate.

Why do you need representation in a survival horror game? I agree that it's unnecessary, but if they already included heterosexual relationships, they might as well go all in.

I would be fine with that as long as they don't suddenly make an established character gay for the sake of being gay instead they should make a new one but being gay should not be their defining characteristic.
0 -
There are many established characters without any hints as to their sexual orientation. No prior relationships, nothing. Even those that do have them could still be bisexual (yup, those are a thing).
2 -
Why do you think that a whole character's personality would be about being gay??? Have you finished Jane Romero's lore?
1 -
Sexual orientation is really not necessary i would rather that be unknown since its irrelevant.
0 -
It can go as background information. For example, David's lore stated that he had a girlfriend. She was mentioned to show that even the love interest refused to take care of him, not the fact that he's in a straight relationship. You just choose between boyfriend/girlfriend, it doesn't change a thing.
1 -
Oh hunny you have obviously never been to any gay bar cuz you will literally see TONS of David’s there lmao
2 -
And that’s why David definitely is mine😏.
