Honestly so many comments like this like do they ever think about the LGBT people playing the game who might actually appreciate seeing something like this instead of getting massively buttmad over some pixels
At least tag me if you want to argue that my opinion is wrong.
I do not hate being reminded that gay people exist.
My only problem is gay pride being made into a HOLIDAY EVENT for a game I spent my spare time on - by the only gay jmod who just started. RS has existed for close to 20 years. This is the first gay pride event. You do the math.
I don't know what games you play, or if you play games at all, but you don't find gay/straight/transgender/whateverpolitics events in any other game.
It's only added to runescape because a gay jmod just started and he wants to feel extra special. Don't turn this into something it's not. And it's not about gay people. It's about that jmod pissing everyone off.
Nigger literally who cares? You're the only one making it political. Some faggot put an inconsequential non-event in the game and you're severely bussy-blasted because for some reason you're terribly threatened by fags.
you don't find gay/straight/transgender/whateverpolitics events in any other game
This is factually wrong.
I think you just have to realize that all MMOs eventually turn to shit and you have to move on to another one that is still acceptable, that's how the industry works.
Wether agressive monetization, gameplay changes or disagreeing with your strong political opinions is your tipping point is only a sidenote.
you don't find gay/straight/transgender/whateverpolitics events in any other game.
you do tho, in tons of games. most people just don't care because they're normal, not oversensitive freaks who get their panties in a twist over bullshit like a gay event
I play osrs and love the event just because you can't keep with modern views and times doesn't mean you have to drag everyone down with you. π³οΈβππ
I'm a straight dude, I play league, cs, and cod, and the occasional overwatch and then single player games. If they added any event for LGBTs or just normalized gay relationships/characters it wouldn't bother me (as long as long as it's done right). I'm also not Christian and I don't get mad at Christmas events. I don't get mad when there's lunar new year stuff.
I didn't care when they made tracer gay and thought they did a pretty tasteful job, I didn't care that there were gay relationships in mass effect or dragon age. I honestly don't see the problem. I don't know about you but personally, I like my games to be inclusive. I also know how it feels to not have any representation or only stereotypical representations of your 'people' in media so when some other minority group gets acknowledgement in a respectful and tasteful way I think it's great.
The fact that people are so buttmad about things like this is just more proof things like this are good. What am I missing? Is there some balance/gameplay issue that will come from this? Do you lose anything from this event?
I don't care nor mind the event. I don't care nor mind if people are gay.
I do care about a gay jmod (admin for the two non-rs people left in the world) making gay pride a HOLIDAY EVENT and forcing that into a medieval game. I'm not sure how good you guys are with history, but being gay was punished by death in medieval europe at least.
It does not fit the game. It's really that simple.
Translation:I have abandonment issues, which is why I play a game decades past it's prime with my fellow autists, I hate fun which is why I grind 200M on click intensive 20k xp/hr methods and I suck a gigantic bag of dicks.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end avoiding some of the hardest, most sexually demanding gays. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we're straight.
We'll punish our selfs refusing things others would consider sexy, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the bussy turndown stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of fake hetero street cred.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the bussy, all day, refusing the same dicks over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such hetero nirvana that they can literally avoid letting the balls touch blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many of our own assholes have been smashed, dickskin over chafed, dildos and socks destroyed 8n sexual frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our excuse? We're already building a new one without them. They take our cumsocks? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their jism else where, or even making the floor our own. They think calling us homophobic, horny, repressed faggots is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds we hit on online. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us it's okay to be gay now. Our obsession with proving we can't after being told we can is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we are that continuing to manufacture victimhood has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another cock fight.

That would be in regards to the fantasy part of the game. I don't believe gay is fantasy.
