Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

I'm confused what the state of "not being okay with" results in. Would I complain to the video game company that it exists?
"Yes, hello [Company name] your men's armor [Armor Name] is simply too revealing, i demand an.... Apology, I guess. Or... Something."
Bruh. Have you never seen an online gaming community before? They're pretty homophobic.
That's what it results in. Concentrated bigotry and hatred.
Those people are always the loudest sadly. I am a big fan of scandidly clothed fantasy games. Even though i havent yet found my bi-side i cherish men in lewd "armor" too for the exact reason that it just seems like there should be something for everyone.
I like the comic, but I think in reality it's not "be ok with", because that's too passive. The right costume hardly exists at all, so plenty of g*mers would say they're "ok" with it.
The reality is instead that when the studio adds just an inch of fabric to the left costume in response to mainstream criticism, g*mers will get butthurt to high hell & back, screaming of censorship & woke culture gone amok, sending death threats left & right. The hypocrisy is that they don't lift a finger to add the right costume at all.
