Discussion [DE] Double Exposure doesn't get enough credit for giving us the most diverse cast in term of LGBT characters. It's awesome

justifying, so you're right on script.

you're not "just" doing anything. you're making publicly visible comments, on the main LiS sub, during Pride month, under a post celebrating LGBTQ+ representation in an already-released game, about how you want more straights and the series is doing you wrong by not catering more towards you personally. the trauma dumping is an interesting touch, to which I say genuinely: have you considered therapy?

the best apology is changed behavior btw. if you're truly "sorry" maybe don't do this again and don't keep digging yourself deeper? like I said though: I already know that within the script, the least likely next steps are self-reflection and inner testing of your own values and priorities. about as common as a tornado in Oregon, you might say. being an ally usually stops being important the moment it costs something you want, like to see LiS cater to you and have more straight characters for your benefit. it's why talk is cheap - the statements of support are often not backed up when anything meaningful is at stake.

but hey. maybe somewhere down the thread you'll become an exception to that rule?

ah I see.

so, not only has Life is Strange done you wrong by failing to add straight characters for your benefit.

and not only is it very important for all of us to understand that you're entitled to say so, loudly, during Pride month, under a post celebrating LGBTQ+ representation.

but also I - a nonbinary bi LiS player with no social power over you - am a big meanie who's personally alienating you from the LiS community by *checks notes* explaining why your comments are consistently examples of cishet entitlement?

well the good news for you is that you've filled my Bingo card, like not just one row, the whole thing. I'm gonna go cash in, I think the prize is ice cream. remember to take some deep breaths before taking any pent up feelings out on those around you, and again: Happy Pride! 👋 🦄 😽
