Pride Ally topper? Really? (MWS)

When I thought that My Wedding Stories couldn't get any worse, I found out that the pack included Pride Ally topper for wedding cakes. I could write whole essay on topic why is this wrong. Shortly; Straight people don't need topper to represent their respect towards LGBTQ+ community. They don't need this topper. Meanwhile gay men still don't have their own pride flag represented in game, while straight allies "got representation" - do you see how wrong is this?

  • Yeah always bothered me how men and any age other than YA females get ignored with content with packs and patches. As a CIS woman honestly don't need an ally topper. I rather have more content for men to use even when it comes to swatches. I know the swatches with the dresses have gotten negative feedback too because of not having enough rainbow options like dark rainbow, light rainbow, different pride variants. I really wish they would ask more LGBTQ+ males and non-binary for their feedback regarding content and even marketing with some of the trailers. I know many were upset over the Sim in the lately trailer not being labeled as bisexual but lesbian. I do like rainbows and honestly having grown up around cultural colors, would love to see more colorful options. Color actually plays a big part on how interesting or boring a game comes off and I hope that the Sims team tends to continue to get back to their roots of representing the underdogs again and lately it has been better, but there is still a lot of improvements still. Game still feels too G rated.
