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.
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?
- 5 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?

@PiabeticIt's not about being offensive or not, but just imagine, making a character gay or straight, does it really make any difference at all? No, well at least not to me, who the character likes to sleep with doesn't affect my gameplay at all. So instead of making a game where 17 legends are all straight, or white, or really anything at all, just making them all the same is not really something realistic at all. So instead of making all characters straight for example, they just make some characters from the LGBT community, because after all, is more realistic than in a group of 17 people there is at least non-straight person. Not showing diversity just gives society the image of LGBT people as non-existant, and is mainly the reasons of discrimination. I hope I made you see my point and make you understand the need to show diversity in all forms, not only on games, but also movies, tv shows, etc
And idk, as LGBT I like to have representation somewhere, as really most people on videogames are just straight dudes, this game has all kind of diversities for people to actually feel represented.
- 5 years ago@Cheese9Man Let be and let live as your sexuality makes no difference to me, but discussion is still open on certain topics that often get shot down.
