Queer erasure

This game needs to stop erasing the identities of the characters they are putting into this game.  I noticed this first when Aphra was being added how they talked about the relationship between Aphra and Sana.  Then they add IG-90 (a background character)as a buff to Aphra rather than her partner Magna.  This may just an emphasis on droid synergy, but it is still an example of this attitude towards the queer characters in this game.  Now they are referring to Cinta as “Vel’s closest ally”.  I find it frankly infuriating that EA is trying to delete a significant aspect of these characters, especially in this current political climate.  Do better EA

  • What? Now Id consider myself woke but "ally" is much more in line with the game than the two characters personal relationship.

    They've added a droid because of Aphras kit as you yourself mention, its nothing to do with anything else. Its also worth noting that Magna changed from Empire to the republic after she escaped with Aphra. So technically she can't be a member of that team as a "Dark Side Scoundrel".

    Really its this kind of nonsense that makes people not take the real issues seriously. If anything its good that CG don't do any of this fake  corporate woke posturing for the sake of it.

  • I’m calling clickbait.  OP has posted 4 times last year and dropped this and has not returned nor commented further.

    When you unlock leia and han they don't feel the need to tell you they might be shagging either. Stop trying to be offended by things that arent offensive

    Maybe its clickbait but if you have ever seen a Scottish group called Erasure, queer fits and im sure they arent singing about star wars.

    Great band though!

    Grew up in the 60-80's.  Erasure were amazing performers along with Simple Minds and Big Country, and of course Annie Lennox is an absolute Queen.   And cheers to the play on the title!  Pure dead brilliant!
