A Lesbian Scientist...

Why are people so mad/surprised?? A world set a couple centuries ahead of our would more than likely be fine with things we're still stupidly hung up on. Ikora is a woman of color as a Vanguard. She kicked Shaxx's arse in the Crucible, reinvented how we think about circles AND has an information network dedicated to lurking in shadows. Not to mention she's a Warlock, a class not really [i]meant[/i] for battle. And SOMEHOW managed to do a double Nova Bomb during the invasion. Suraya leads an entire commune without even asking the City for help. She even knocks Zavala down a peg by pointing out she's not afraid even though she never had Light. Later, Zavala even acknowledged her skill by calling her "Guardian" Ana was/is a scientist who worked on some of the biggest innovations of the Golden Age. She earned Shaxx's respect by creating pools of light via GG at Twilight Gap. When Zavala told her to be more concerned with Tower affairs, she faked her death so she could do as she saw fit. Face it, women in Destiny are tough as nails and are blatantly unapologetic about it. If you're gonna whine that Ana isn't straight, that's a you problem. #LongLiveTheLesbians

  • People aren't complaining about her being a lesbian, they're complaining about the fact that the relationship feels forced and is taking over her entire character. Bungie is making Ana's defining trait the fact that's she's a lesbian, which is wrong. No character should be defined by their sexual orientation, whatever that may be. She's one of the powerful Hunters in history! And on top if that, she's a Bray! A direct window to Rasputin and pretty much [u][i]everything[/i][/u] that happened in the Golden Age AND the Collapse! We could learn so much from her, but the comics are almost entirely focused on her relationship. You wanna know how her character should be handled? Look at Wei Ning. Now that's how you handle a character.
