I do apologize in advance for my word choice. I do not mean any offense in the verbiage I use, I just feel that it captures the essence of the conversation.
The sexuality of Anna Bray is not a vital piece of information, nor is a pivotal part of story that plays into the larger picture. If any of you who have done any extended education in story creation, building, and writing would know that having a good foundation for your character or characters is key to a great storied universe. We want elements of our favorite characters to be brought out, to allow us to connect to them. Now if we analyze this element, this has two sides to it. The sexuality Anna Bray allows players and readers to have a new element to connect because of her sexuality, now on the other side, It does feel forced now if you apply real world politicly climate to the story element due to the saturation of everything going on. If you compare years ago what DC Comics did to the character Alan Scott or to The Question, you can understand why some individuals (rare few who just enjoy a good story and a well written character) may react in a negative way, not out of bigotry, but out of exasperation. Now sadly, you do have the morons out their who are the first-class assholes, that can’t handle the fact that heroes can also be in a relationship with the same gender.
There could be multiple reasons why Bungie elected to “share” this part of Anna Bray with us, as it could have been a marketing ploy to lure more gamers in because they are now cementing one of their main characters in the LGBT community. Destiny lore never really has touched on if currently can love, or if it’s forbidden to love if you’re a Guardian. What if it’s like the Jedi code and love or scrumpin leads to the Dark Side?
My end thought is this, don’t make it out to be more than it is. If she fingers bangs women, awesome. The character can be whatever she is made out to be! Let’s move on and get back to enjoying the game. If her loving women hurt’s you that much, go play Call of Duty. Now on the other side, don’t wave your -blam!-ing banner and force it in every one’s face that Anna Bray loves to Daisy Chain… Again, not pivotal information that will destroy the Hive or the Vex… My thought on Anna Bray, I feel that Bungie did a poor job on the character in Warmind, the character development was piss poor and I found that I rather talk to Brother Vance than Anna Bray half the time. The way they portrayed her character in Warmind was one dimensional and it was truly sad with the end result that they gave the community. I hope that the comic series could be a on going run that will correct a failed attempt at something that could have been remarkable.
