You misquoted Angelblaze here with what I wrote. Just a heads up.GrumbleGrump said:This is what people want, diversity wise? Just some character admit "Well yeah, I'm pretty gay I guess."? Baby steps, I guess.Angelblaze said:Maybe the developers and publishers realized that they can diversify their casts and make more people happy (which will obviously bring more money, yes, I am not naive enough to believe they never think about profits). But if they earn more money for making more people happy, that's a marketing strategy I can get behind.
And I can't speak for all people of course, but I can assume that some people want just that, yes. Some people want more than that. Some people want depictions of LGBT struggles. Some want subtle gay people. Some want happy gay people. Some just want someone to be gay and for it to never be important in any way. Different people want different stuff, which is why diversity might help. It's also the reason why it's important to listen to this "new demographic" and hear them out, see their criticism and their praise. There isn't a one single ultimate depiction of a large and diverse group of people that will satisfy everyone.
