[quote]Nowhere in here does it say diversity is bad. It’s when you make a character LGBTQ+ just for the sake of marketing and profit that it becomes a problem. It’s okay to have LGBTQ+ characters, as long as their entire character doesn’t revolve around them being LGBTQ+. They need to have development beyond that point. By this I mean not using that trait as a crutch.[/quote] Actually, her whole character doesnt revolve around her being a lesbian. Sure in the comics its the focal point but it has nothing to do with her character in the game. Through in game lore her history comes from being known as possibly one of the strongest/best gunslingers. In the actual campaign it focuses on her trying to find information to her past, from her connection to the bray family, their tech, rasputin, the fact that her sister "may" be the exo stranger and the fact that she was actually adopted into the Bray family vs being related through blood. Heck even in the trailer it tried to market her as this badass hunter kicking and dodging thralls, scaling icebergs with just knives, possibly having cybernetic enhancements via her eyes and rogue by saying she isnt great with rules. So really if you skipped the comics, you probably wouldnt have known she was a lesbian and known the other stuff that's actually mentioned in the game and shown in the trailer, which I'm sure recieved more marketing than the comic which probably was shared mostly amongst the community such as posts like these and outside the community vs bungie saying "hey everyone, even if you don't play destiny, we have a lgbt character in our comic! Check it out and buy the game!" In the comics it really focuses on why and how she ended up on mars and who she's fighting for aside from the usual "to save the world". Similar to how we found out why osiris left the city. Now I don't wanna copy pasta what everyone else has said and even you say you have nothing against LGBT people, however i still get this vibe that this post was made because she was LGBT and not just because she had poor writing. Heck i think Osiris didnt get this much attention for being lack luster as a character in game after all the back history in D1 and the comics.
