What also the thing is there never announced it in a big way.It just was there .Here when they do this they announce it as hey look at me.
I hate the way they make such a spectacle out of it. In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd games it was treated with quiet respect, a sort of dignity, where different sexualities were included but no fuss was made over it and to me that was much more inclusive, it was nice to just be acknowledged like a normal person and not some mythical minority that has to be pandered to. When the 4th made such a big spectacle out of the pride content it felt horribly disingenuous - the previous games made those strides, not the 4th, and the fact they'd waited until this far into the game's life made it obvious it was a ploy for brownie points. "Look at us! Look what we're doing!" Not every LGBT person associates with pride.
I don't make a fuss over my bisexuality (I only ever mention it when it's relevant) and so to me it feels manipulative when the game tries to make a big deal out of it.
As for the other issues mentioned in the casting call, all I can imagine is EA giving you a comforting hug and whilst it's holding you it slips its hand into your back pocket and steals your wallet.
