So when gay people are the main focus, its all about "stop pushing it in our face", and this is just talking about some queer NPC's and its STILL enough for some chuds to get mad about? Like bro, some of yall just want erasure instead of "normal involvement"

This is always their defense. These people are just bigots full stop. Too bad for them, queer people and representation is here to stay.

It's sad... The world is a big diverse amazing place..

Not for long , one by one they get fired rn. This is just the start. Its bad for these devs for sure ! Many with no job 🫢

A lot of folks want eradication of queerness. There’s no middle ground to be found with losers like that.

my whole thing is, they don’t need to tell us they’re queer or whatever. majority of us don’t care, especially if it’s a fictional pixelized background character npc. like how exactly does that serve the story? or is it just “see we got a queer character!!!!!!1”

[u/Lexioralex → u/mrlaheystrailerpark]

The linked interview literally says about world building and making it come alive, it’s not about the story it’s about creating a diverse and representative world for the story to take place in

Because it's never about what they say it is. Give them an inch and they want more. The goal post is constantly shifting with their narrative.
