First hate mail I've gotten in two years :v: He killed me, tea-bagged me, I killed him, tea-bagged him and this went on for the entire match back and forth. Apparently he didn't find it as amusing as I did.

Good thing, too, because we've already had confirmation from Respawn that several Apex characters are LGBTQ.

Yeah, that's my favorite part about the representation argument, it's like some weird monster hybrid of inclusive sexual identity and rigid corporate spin that never wants to acknowledge actual sexuality because actual sexuality represented by sexual thematic content runs completely contrary to the ideology of Kill Everything That Moves.

I'm all for more LGBT representation in games, but these zero personality character shooters that have no content other than "run around and shoot mans", confirming their bland characters sexualities for no reason just feels companies trying to get free advertising because they know game sites will write about it.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

it's more likely something the art team comes up with, it makes some marginalized people feel better about themselves, and it pisses garbage CHUDs off, so it's a good thing

That's a terrible comparison because it's something that is inherently identifiable in a characters visual design.

Look man, my literal #1 most anticipated game on the planet very openly stars a lesbian. There is nothing about any of these dumb characters in Apex Legends that should make anyone want to know anything about them. They run around and shoot poo poo in a multiplayer game and nothing else. Announcing characters are gay is just a way to drum up some free press and bait chuds into getting mad for even more free press. Your reaction to someone calling it corny is exactly what they want and why marketing like this exists. You've been duped by corporate marketing.

Like I said. I'm all about having more gay characters in games. I think that is nothing but a positive thing. it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to call out some corny marketing hail mary when I see it.

Edit: Also my reaction is what they want as well. We are all suckers.

Exactly this is why I boycott every single game that doesn't exclusively feature grey boxes as the characters. Everything else is pandering. I'm normal.

The characters in Apex actually have a shitload of personality, more than most Overwatch characters, and a substantial portion of the people who play games care a great deal about that.

Idk the character work in Apex is pretty good. Not as good as Team Fortress 2, but definitely a lot more interesting than Overwatch. I'd read a comic or watch a short or something if the grapplebot is in it.

If games had a little more hardcore loving and a little less hardcore killing I could fathom human civilization being X% healthier than the diseased trashpile we currently occupy but whatever, this is what we have and nothing will change and instead we have pronoucements of Totally Radical LGBTQ characters churning out the funbucks so one day they can afford to make more giant robot games to make me forget about the diseased trashpile we currently occupy...

I've started playing a bit again and same, but I did have one decent run with the Mastiff earlier today on Wargames. Mostly because a lot of people have started playing/playing again because of Apex, so a lot of them are also bad.
