Why are games getting political now too ?

What movement is being added to the game, exactly? All I heard is that they're going to confirm characters' orientations besides straight ones via lore.

How is it being shoved in your face when nothing has changed in the game?

Even on the forum, I saw one thread from someone who was happy about it and people who weren't spammed it to hell, almost got the person who made it to quit the thread entirely.

I opened one thread asking for opinions on who's LGBT and who's not and it, too, had a bunch of people who "don't care" about it feel the need to let everyone know just how much they "don't care" by commenting in a thread that isn't even directed at them.

Nearly every other thread is from people who're unhappy about it and make sure to let everyone know that. They're the ones shoving their opinions in our faces and causing tensions to rise. If they'd kept their mouths shut the way they did when it was about heterosexuals, it would've been quietly put into the lore (that they claim not to read nor care about) and that would've been it. They're the ones making a big deal out of it by treating LGBT lore differently from non-LGBT lore.

I'm telling them to treat LGBT lore the same way they treated the non-LGBT lore, and the way they treated non-LGBT lore was to keep quiet - that was their choice. However, now that it's about unwritten LGBT lore, all of a sudden it's a big issue to all these people who don't read or care about the lore.

So, tell me, who's showing favoritism? Is it me, asking them to treat all lore the same way, or them, treating the lore differently?

• Nurse has a confirmed husband in her lore. It has nothing to do with cosmetics.
• David has a confirmed ex-GF in his lore.
• Frank and Julie (Legion) are a confirmed couple. Their extended lore is almost exclusively about their relationship and how it was one of the driving points for the Legion to come into being.

See what I mean? We've got people who are not familiar with the lore and don't care about the lore complain about the lore now that it might contain LGBT references that they will never even read. I'm just gonna quote myself here...

Just try it. Put yourself in my shoes for a minute and tell me how I'm supposed to interpret all of this except that certain people don't want LGBT characters in their game because they're LGBT.

And I'll repeat myself..respectfully that sword cuts both ways..plus you have posts very much dedicated to trying to brand every characters sexuality..so neither side is being subtle here..the issue here is most of us dont want the fighting that follows when game devs try to be inclusive but come off as favoratists..merely looking at this from outside the debate here..my personal worry is itll just lead to story shoe horning thatll just look off and be too big the focus..causing stories to halt rather than to progress

I mean, I'm judging you off of what you just said to me. If you're going to offer the opinion that heterosexuality is natural and homosexuality is political, tell me why homophobia exists.

Okay. So based on the facts, tell me why there isn't prejudice based on height, eye colour, etc. Tell me why it's homophobia that is born, again and again, by a rootless, simple individual meanness.
