Lack of LGBT clarity is hurting g*mers

Being a badass heckin Marvel hero is hard work.

As a queer person who's been gaming pretty much all her life, it's blatantly obvious to me just how scarce the kind of representation I want, perhaps need, is in video games.

Heres why that's problematic:

For the longest time, cisgender men have dominated the video game industry and have continued to be mistaken as the face of the entire gaming culture. This diversity problem not only prevents women g*mers from gaining visibility, but it also hampers the development of a safe and inclusive environment for other minorities in the gaming space, namely the LGBTQ+ community.

So why is it, that an "allegedly" progressive company like Marvel, who keeps shouting they're supportive of LGBT rights keeps us in COMPLETE DARKNESS when it comes to OUR REPRESENTATION? are there ANY LGBT characters to choose from? or are we left to wonder, ponder that we might be left out once again?

Why is there ZERO mention of the LGBTQIA+++ community during LITERAL pride month? HELLO MARVEL??????????

Will i be FORCED once more to play as a WHITE CIS male? why can't i be the badass g*mer i want to be with my OWN complex gender heckin expression ???

Solutions:

Show your COLOURS !! make a public announcement that you're PROUD to support the LGBTQA++ community in this game, because right now?

It's not enough.

G*mers are watching

Game on.
