I'm not non-binary so I can't vouche for this as representation but I unironcally adore this character which is weird cos they're absolutely marvel gag line pilled and you'd think that would be annoying...

But it ain't!

They are genuinely just a fun and really likeable character and just hearing in game characters use they/them like it was second nature and not effort was so refreshing to experience.

I mean I say all this and I'm not enby so like enbies let me know if we rate Nimbus or not todd

They seem to grate on the main destiny fanbase on reddit-logo which i always consider praxis.

But I mean these people decide everyone they like is a cis lesbian with a few token bisexuals and gave trans people fucking oryx the wet bug lad from fundament as representation and not like any of the exos which feel a lot more adjacent to transness than a evil wet bug vegeta-pain erghhhh i hate.

Destiny's writing always bounces between Cryptic Bullshit and lol meme and it's kind of the reason I love it

That and nothing feels as nice as dropping some space magic on some space jerks

Also, it's funny how many people wanted Nimbus to die instead of Rohan

It's basic buddy cop shit, the rookie always outlives the guy who's a week from retiring

Micah-10 is trans and IIRC has a trans voice actress.

Her interactions with Cayde in the campaign post-game was like, the only decent writing of the expansion. Some of the only decent writing of the past several years, tbh. D2's writing has really gotten marvelized and bland since they started fleshing out all the big mysterious figures and places and it turns out they all suck and are boring and the big overarching meta-plot was dumb with a villain that was just like "edgy teen discovers existential philosophy and has mind blown" in motive and background.

Aaaaa that's really cool!

Love to see she wasn't mentioned anywhere in the thread I saw /s

I dropped out curse of osiris and came back literally last week so I'm like still trying to patch together the characters and stuff I've missed despite the games best efforts to prevent that by hacking off the first three expansions.

WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!

Also I like the witness's hair thing representing like all the amalgamated people from it's race but omg fr it's so fucking edgy. Ngl tho it's always been marvel energy writing I think. I mean the ghost alone is grating af imo. I liked Dinklage's miserable apathetic ghost lmao.
