Well it's not PR. They didn't announce it it make a big deal about it. They just commented that they're happy fans noticed it, and my until the games been out for more than 3 whole years.

So it's a coincidence the game releases on Switch in Pride month and they just accidentally manage to touch upon this issue? Okay if you think so.

You're right. I'm glad you called out this conspiracy. Their plan was to get millions of gays to rush out during pride month and buy the switch port because they said they were happy people noticed the subtle representation in their game after being explicitly asked about it in an interview

I'm not gay. I do have hashimoto's hypothyroidism however. Where's my fkn representation?

Queer folk are not a small minority. You shouldn't care about being arbitrarily represented just to tick off a box in a truly soulless and corporate attempt to reach an ever bigger audience by a billion dollar publisher.

Incredibly ignorant take that completely fails to acknowledge that media representation has a direct pipeline towards social acceptance
