Virtue signaling tells me all I need to know about how you conduct yourself in society and it isn't doing anyone any REAL good. It just keeps driving the division ramming stuff normal people do not care about down their throats. It simply doesn't matter.
Only your character as a person matters not which lil special snowflake flag you wave.

Haters gonna hate. I'm really looking forward to the day when no one discusses sexuality, when we get to the point where a person's sexuality is so inconsequential that people wouldn't even think to mention it. I'm pretty old, hopefully I'll see that day. As for the badge I'll probably fly it, why not? I've always liked rainbows.

Keep these things out of games, this is not the place for them. I have no problem with anyone based on sexuality or race, or whatever but this is a can of worms. I have already seen it on the forums. "there's a BLM badge, why isn't there a pride badge?", " I didn't get the BLM badge, make it available at all times because I want it and I didn't play at that time" etc. This is little more than the people that change social media or game platform usernames for a few days so they can show how virtuous they are and it has nothing to do with playing games, or this game. We all watch or read the news, are things not complicated enough right now without it encroaching into games? Once you start promoting certain causes there will always be people demanding other causes are also included and getting upset when they aren't.
I just prefer my games to be neutral. I know I don't have to equip the BLM or the Pride badge, or the Stop Asian Hate badge ( which I don't really understand, I am from the UK and I didn't realise there was such a thing as Asian Hate really ). For me, games are escapism. I don't appreciate the encroachment and believe it has no place in this environment.

The game was designed with diversity in mind with characters of different ethnicities and sexualities. I don't get why celebrating diversity and sexuality is something political and offensive to other people?
- 4 years ago@Cheese9Man You say the game was designed with diversity in mind . . but isn't that just complete rubbish? Its just a game. Its not offensive as such, I just don't think this is the place for it. this game is not racially or sexually offensive, but when they start making the game a celebration of diversity, for me, it starts to get a little annoying. I've had enough of riots and protests and cancel culture and just want to play a game like this. Ok, a pride flag isn't the worst thing to ever happen and I wont be uninstalling the game over it, I just feel that the direction they are going isn't going to end well. To avoid having to draw a line they should just remain neutral in my opinion. What's the next step? When there are 4 causes someone feels strongly about but they can only equip 3 badges? Are people going to start to complain about that?

@ExpertEpic99No one cares about this kind of thing. It has become contrived and play out with all these movements and so called held back groups.
