*sigh* Surprised people have to explain this but here goes:
Are you seriously comparing the amount of content in the Holidays pack to this patch which has "Islamic" (even though, it is more cultural than anything but let's go with how the community is describing it) content which can be counted on your fingers? Are you genuinely convinced that they should make packs for EVERYTHING remotely representative? Because if so, that means the LGBTQ+ content should've had a pack and it didn't and we are all fine with it.
Simple, don't use it. "But BUT BUT TOWNIES WILL BE GENERATED WITH THESE OUTFITS Dx!!!" We don't know that yet, they may have unique tags, so chill.
actually a lot of people were not fine with the "Pride" stuff people had the same cow people are having other the hijab stuff
Which is ridiculous, honestly. Shame though because this community should've been the most open.
No one is forcing anyone to support anything. Just be respectful.
Being "open and respectful" doesn't necessarily mean taking everything while sitting down and just shutting up and by the same logic, means that those who aren't happy with it aren't being respectful. If anything, one could argue that it is disrespectful to the people who dislike that kind of content to just shut up and take it.
Many people, including other LGBT members, were not happy with the Pride items and searched for ways to remove them because we disagree with the notion of celebrating distinct differences for no reason (being black, gay, or a woman) and instead, prefer the celebration of being human. Just because a person dislikes Pride content doesn't mean they hate gay people. A gay person, for example, could dislike Pride because they don't want their sexuality to be made a big deal for no reason. Does that mean they hate themselves?
I don't like it because I fail to see the point. Am I disrespectful too?
One could easily argue that yes, it's disrespectful because there are clearly many LGBTQ+ people who do want to celebrate what they see as being human, being different, being who they are without the need to try and fit in. No one is forced to celebrate Pride but how is it respectful to want to take that option away from others because
you don't want to participate?
And "no reason" may be true for you but for those who have had those parts of their humanity used against them? That's plenty of reason to want to celebrate that in spite of those who tried to harm them for being who they are. Silencing them only serves their oppressors and no one else.
