Ethnically Diverse Legends

Dear Apex, You guys are doing an amazing job with the diversity in legends. It's pretty awesome to see the variety and getting to play around with the different styles. When you guys introduced Loba...

Loba’s parents speak Portuguese, so they are probably “from” some country that speaks Portuguese. I’m not sure exactly which one.

Also, the big Gibby being gay and stuff is kind of a pr stunt, but you have to be open to it not being a pr stunt. The bloodhound non-binary was more of a statement, but I think the Gibby one was just kind of a part of his character. They can make lgbtq characters and not make it a statement.

@Sir_Named But that's just it. The problem is every attempt at being inclusive (such as this case) is making a statement because everyone feels the need to point it out rather than it just arising from the blue. What about non-binary bloodhound is less of a statement than Gibby being gay. Gibby being gay doesn't NEED to be part of his character, it adds nothing, it detracts nothing, so why mention it?

    @Dantenate Gibby being gay is just kind of part of his character. They don’t have to mention backstory and other stuff, but they do and it fleshes out the characters more. Plus, they didn’t make a big deal out of Gibby, they just mentioned that he had/has a boyfriend.

    Bloodhound being non-binary is a statement, mainly because they kept highlighting it. But it is also kind of part of the character, since Bloodhound is supposed to be a mysterious person. Why not make their biological gender mysterious too?
