So this is what they think Gay Pride is best represented by? A few rainbow clothing items and a gender neutral bathroom door? And may I point out the obvious: BATHROOMS HAVE NO GENDER! They are rooms. The only gender thing about them is the sign on the door. Bathrooms are basically the same. And don't we already have a bathroom door that has both a male and female symbol on it so either male sims or female sims can both use it? So what does a GENDER NEUTRAL door do any differently? Nothing. Not one dang thing. It just makes the devs feel as if they are politically correct and love THE GAYS. Bull pucky!
The devs have told us how much time, effort and research goes into packs like City Living to ensure that other cultures are represented honestly and thoughtfully without insulting or being negative in any way yet all we get is a tee shirt with a rainbow flag and a GENDER NEUTRAL door for the toilet? Seriously?
Shame on each and every dev that was a part of this pathetic attempt to "include" us gays in the game. And don't misunderstand, I'll use the clothes because I have gay sims, but to say that those clothes represent our entire gay culture, something that is the biggest part of who we are is stupid and insulting. Do you guys do any research at all on gay culture? Anything? Is a few rainbow clothes and a toilet door what you are trying to pass off as products from extensive research?
I demand that the slacker(s) that came up with these jewels of representation come into this thread and at the very least, attempt to explain to us why you thought this bull was a good idea and why they thought we would be stupid enough to settle for it.
And while I'm spilling the T, as we gays like to say, shame on everyone in this thread that thought this was good enough and are so excited to have gay stuff included in the sims. If this is any indication of how they honor people, then those wanting disabled sims might want to rethink it. It will probably be more insulting than edifying.
Preach for me honey! I agree. Slapping a rainbow on something isn’t going to do much. I love sims inclusivity, but I feel like this is just a way to make themselves look better. Pride isn’t a gay thing. Pride is about celebrating all our differences. I hope we get disabled sims with this, because they aren’t represented in the sims at all. It would be hard to implement, but I believe in them! If we get pride items I just hope they aren’t obnoxious, and are just useful.
