My take on it is this: I straight-up (no pun intended) don't care what you are, who you are, or what you like. It doesn't matter to me; But what I hate is when people try to MAKE me care about something that I don't want to care about. Forcing views, agendas, or just trying to shove this kind of stuff down my throat is nothing other than annoying. I dont have anything against gay people or LGBT. I dont have anything against any kind of person, because that is what everybody is to me: a person. I've worked with a lesbian couple before and they were freaking awesome. They weren't forcing anything, they were just being themselves. And because of that, none of us really paid any mind to them being lesbian because it didn't friggin matter! They were our friends and coworkers, why were we supposed to give a crap about their sexuality? The answer: we weren't.

The vast majority of the comments I’ve read concerning this topic have been focused primarily on how this story shift doesn’t really flow from the previous story episodes involving these two characters. I think that’s also why you didn’t see this kind of sustained tension with the myriad of other gay characters in Destiny. I also think it’s a really sad situation that people who don’t like this story shift are automatically branded as homophobic or hateful when their concerns about narrative and character consistency have merit. Too much of culture/society/etc. currently seems to be about some sort of social retribution/revenge.

Can we just, not, include things that are blatant pandering to the SJWs who flip their shit over the slightest thing? K? K. Edit: As Fae said, the irony here is rich. Thank you for being exactly what I described, even if it's not quite as explosive as implied.

It doesn’t really belong in a first person shooter tbh.

[quote]Your efforts at inclusivity have backfired dramatically and caused a larger divide between players than I have seen in a long time.

Mate kindly piss off You literally made up a story because of couple of topics didn't even get that many replies.

Man I'm so sick of being force fed politics in every aspect of my life. Can't wait for my toilet paper to ask me to denounce my white privilege before being allowed to wipe my butt.

I don't mind if a character is gay, straight, etc. as long as it's with a purpose that's well-written into the narrative. Coming out and suddenly declaring that a character is gay out of the blue just feels like pandering rather than good storytelling.

That’s partly why they’re doing it. Training the young spongy minds of the world.

Don’t have an issue with content, which is up to the creators to do with what they want. Issue Is with the maturity(and lack of) of a vocal minority on the forums(I hate harping on how this is a subset of the community, not the community itself same as Reddit, Discord, or any Content creators fan base). Why buckle simply because assholes be assholes? If people are being hateful, ban them. It’s not up to Bungie to be your father and protect you from the ills of the world. That should have been taught to a lot of you years ago.

Imagine thinking bungie is the problem for including everyone & not the community for being hateful -blam!-s

[quote]Hey Bungie, it’s cool that we have some representation in this game. But I would ask that you please consider your audience. An overbearing amount of Destiny players are quite young, they don’t possess the maturity to be dealing with topics like sexuality. Your inclusion of other sexualities is great, but the resulting fall out from the community has made it not at all worth it. Your efforts to be more inclusive have resulted in the spreading of hate. There are hundreds of comments on these forums gay bashing and spreading hate about the LGBT. Your efforts at inclusivity have backfired dramatically and caused a larger divide between players than I have seen in a long time. You’ve essentially painted a target on the backs of all LGBT people within your community. Most of us live with that sort of hatred in our every day lives and use video games as an escape. In my opinion, the most optimal way to handle sexuality is with subtle hints, not outright statements. It allows the hateful to ignore those hints, and those seeking representation to find it in the fine text. But please, I ask that you no longer flaunt this in front of your playerbase, because the resulting fallout is not at all worth it. Seeing people rip into gay culture, spread hatred and misinformation about the LGBT, and write this all off as political correctness forced “by the left,” is just tiring. We live with this crap day in and day out, please don’t drag those real world problems into your game. It’s not that I’m asking you to let hate win, I’m just asking that you don’t paint targets on our backs. Please.[/quote] The game is rated Teen, and what you’re talking about isn’t explicit in game. Even if it was, teenagers know that people are gay. Not making the content they want for their game because I microscopic % of the audience for the game can’t help but be horrible to others doesn’t make any sense. Asking them to not allow their artists to express themselves out of fear of hate speech from internet trolls is absolutely asking them to let hate win.

Saint and Osiris are in love, where does it say anything about their sex lives? If it was revealed that Cayde and Eris had been in a committed relationship, would your first thought have been about their "sexuality?"

What are you even talking about? I have seen no such thing in the game up untill now. And i played everything in D2.
