By that rationale, the nazi arm bands should be coming in a future update. After all, it's just a cosmetic item that players ask for.

So you put "straight people" wanting a Cosmetic item to mark them as straight on the same level of Nazis that killed millions of people. I respect the trolling.

I respect the trolling.

Same. In fact were I playing webfishing knowing that this many people from all sides would be this upset about the title, I would 100% gun for it and enjoy the fireworks.

People's reactions to things like this are hilariously overblown, both the anger that some straight person would dare to ask for representation and that some dev would gently troll them.

It might not be the same level, but it's the same rationale.
