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?
Funny how the most toxic players are those with these badges on. Good work in including politics in a video game and polarizing the community.
I more so think that people would prefer games to be places where they can escape the real world. Which is the case for the majority of the games on the market, so it appears foreign for a lot of people. Apex Legends is the only game that I'm personally aware of who makes these kinds of badges or/and announcements. And certainly it's nice to have the awareness spread about things like Black Lives matter or Pride or what's about to come. But like I said, I think this is what people are referring to. I mean, sure, there's probably also a partition of homophobes who spoke about it, no doubt.
But let's be honest... Isn't the prime goal to make everyone feel equal and normal? As a Bisexual and potentially trans person myself, it doesn't help to be treated special for one month, only to be viewed as an alien again once that's over. No, what I personally want is that when I say that I'm having a boyfriend, that people reply with "Ah nice, what they're like?" instead of "You're bi???" - I want to be normal, not special.
@Peri_Longbow_plz fortnite goes more for the skin look rather than a badge to represent different people's. I'm looking forward to see if Apex give us a Patrick's day badge next year. 😃 like fortnite (anyone notice the rainbow?? 😃)
Everybody is special, all the time. A reminder does no harm at all.
@aisthebestletter Showing support for these things is fine but in some cases it's ideological and in others the movements actually were hijacked for political reasons. BAME have as much say here in the UK, the same as most other predominantly white countries as anyone, which is protected by law.
Not to say there aren't cases for police brutality or racial oppression.
It's an assumption and actually racist to categorise it as ''white straight males'' being the only ones with an issue. I'm a white straight male with black family members and couldn't care less on your sexual relations or the colour of your skin.
Don't think though i'm going to address you as any one of the hundred pronouns that is constantly evolving due to gender theory and them take offense for it as i don't accept them for who they are, when they couldn't accept themselves. Excluding medical conditions, it's hypocritical with many other contradictions as outlined in that article i posted.
Let's also not forget the LGBTQ community pushing ideas and concepts onto minors that are developmentally inappropriate which also feeds the issue.
