Pretty much this. We have absolutely no reason to trust a company to not discriminate when the norm is to discriminate.
And I have said I have too much faith in humanity. This is likely flawed? But it is my stance.
Your stance does not have to be respected, but the right to have it would see blood spilled. Of course I'm squeemish so I'd probably hide somewhere when the fight breaks out.

I mean I love the games he makes, but literally all I know about his view of gay representation is his one 'eh we'll wait for feedback'.
Someone brought up The Old Republic before, remember that when the devs outright said 'yea we'll have gay stuff for companions' and then didn't deliver until Planet of the Gays dropped and we had to spend money for a crappy expansion that had like, two dudes who said "BY THE BY I LIKEA THE DUDES" and that was a win somehow?Â
I straight up don't trust people in media about homosexuality being portrayed in a good way until I actually see it, and I have no reason to think I should start it now.
All I can say to this, and this is unfortunate and sad. To me, personally. But, you're obviously allowed to have this stance.
Also, really? The giant pink planet was kind of facepalm worthy to me from TOR.
For someone who goes on about empathy you sure say a lot of patronizing shit. I don't care how 'unfortunate and sad' my views are to you, man, why would you even say that if only to try to look superior?
You're reading too much into things. I am saying that it is unfortunate and sad that you feel this way, because your point is valid. I am sad because the world WARRANTS your viewpoint.
Quit searching only for negatives, please.
Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Consider the word. I do understand and I do share your feelings. I am sad because it's warranted.
Just, this time? I'm putting faith and hope. This time.
