When was this survey conducted? How did the participants find it?
Anyway I'm kinda one of the minority players according to this survey. Ace and trans. We're out here.
As an occult player, I hate that you're probably right... :/
You aren't alone. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community too. I love occults, but I'm more concerned with the efforts of a minority of vocal bigots to erase anyone and anything LGBTQ+ or inclusive. Will EA stand by our side as they have so far, flawed as that stand may be, or will they cave to the bigots? They have stayed the course and included LGBTQ+ sims for as long as I can remember and I hope that never changes.
LGBTQIA+ community member here too, and just personally I think EA has engaged in performative activism & is only interested in appearing inclusive in so far as it benefits them financially. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate what we've gotten so far, I'm just incredibly cynical when it comes to major companies and anything 'pride' related, and I also don't think EA has gone far enough (or rather they've gone as far as is viable from a marketable point of view). I would hope that in future EA will ignore any push back and embrace the LGBTQIA+ community far more than it already has, such as giving us a wider range of options for gender expression (stone butch lesbians exist, for one) or giving us the option to play with FtM and MtF Sims in a way that was meaningful beyond surface dressing.
