I literally cannot think of a large hero shooter off of the top of my head that hasn’t caught flak for including LGBTQ+ characters

oh yes argument destroyed, surely.

and like they’ve caught flak for this from bigots sure but like it’s clearly not affecting their bottom line negatively or they wouldn’t do it

a lot of people, about half of the people i know, i wager about 70-ish% in america, are willing and accepting of lgb people
that number diminishes significantly when talking about transgender or nonbinary people
that’s why i think its neat that valve have put one in their game, and not more than mildly surprising, because valve is a private company that owns literal goldmine steam

I remember reading a study that found that of almost 130 companies that faced backlash for inclusion, Bud Light is the only one that actually fell more than, like, 1%.
