the lion example is silly, thats no doubt. but to us the gender thing is just as silly. the best thing we can do is to provide hormornal treatment and therapy
then if we are saying something being "silly" is relative, who are you to judge someone else? I know it may be an extreme comparison but think back to not even two centuries ago when black people were suppressed and under represented and villainized. while I'm not directly comparing them these are very similar events in our history, and I really think It's unfair to not allow these people to be represented in media, if you went back this same sort of debate would have happened if a black person was featured on the cover of a newspaper or magazine. I just don't think blanketing all of people that identify under the lgbtqia+ movement as mentally ill is fair, Its not like they are forcing us to be gay or transgender, so what harm are they doing? homosexuality has been around since ancient greece, so just because society is getting more accepting doesn't mean people are also getting more mentally ill.
i am no one to judge someone else, they are just as human as i am.
In hindsight obviously racism towards any group of people is wrong.
however, gender dysphoria is a PROVEN mental illness.
i actually have nothing against lgbtq people, as i have stated before
i just refuse to acknowledge that it is right
is there any harm i am doing not acknowledging them? no.
the same argument goes both ways.
Why cant we just coexist?
You are trying to force 2 kinds of people who dont mesh well toghether toghether.
lgbt people deserve to be represented on media just the same as people who have depression, anxiety, etc
i have never claimed homosexuality have originated recently
Why cant we just coexist?
sorry for the short response I really have to get to sleep, I'll come back to this tomorrow.
That's all they want? non binary people just want to be accepted right? so why is it a big deal that there is one In a game? I know you said beliefs and all but there are plenty of religious character in media, even though they go against other peoples beliefs, so why would we treat non binary people any other way?
