[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8293592, member: 7030563"] I have asked peoples for examples of things in-game where gender identity or sexual preference is relevant to the game or story and no one yet has provided any. Instead they have provided examples based in tropes which are not relevant to these things and only serve to reinforce stereotypes surrounding them. I have stated if your games include graphic sex, graphic genitalia or biology surrounding reproduction then yes gender identity at least can be very relevant, and if you want to play those kinds of games I think you should. I am not saying you shouldn't. But I don't think that is a part of many games and they are the only examples I can think of where this would actually be relevant to something happening in the game. Also I love WOTC, but their track record on inclusion is not very good when and where it really matters. From where I am sitting they want to pander and wave the flag and pretend that they are not part of the problem IRL society while implementing things into the game world that are irrelevant to the real world struggle against biggotry. If WOTC wants to be at the forefront of LGBTIA+ rights they should focus on LGBTIA+ rights at the headquarters in Renton Washington instead of at Blackstaff tower in Waterdeep. [/QUOTE]
