I thought I read somewhere we would be getting Pride profile pics in game. I am not seeing them. Or did I read this wrong.

Likely to arrive tomorrow around this time or hour earlier.

Makes sense since tomorrow is Wednesday. I figured they would be loaded with the update.

It’s related to the SQ which starts on Wednesday so that’s how you would know

Anyone who has been homophobic on the forum should have it automatically enabled for the month lol

I think most of them are already history, dude 😉

I wish they were as incisive with people with homophobic views on global.

I immediately picked up the two spirit profile pic, as my daughter is both native and queer. It’s a touching gesture having that much cultural awareness to honor both. Thank you Kabam.

Be gay and be proud, that is fine. Just keep it to yourself instead of broadcasting all over the place. Kids play this game.

My queer daughter plays the game, and she’s 15. If you think there’s something about her that’s inappropriate for other children to see, then you are the problem my friend.

Is it pushing it down our throats when whole months are dedicated to a male and female’s romantic interests? As we have seen several times. Kids are ok to see a man and a woman’s love interest but not two mens? This month is dedicated to pride month, other months focus on other relationships, neither is wrong and neither should be dismissed.

But that would be too logical to keep your beliefs and opinions off a game and in private.
They gotta be inclusive and virtue signal for money.

Most of these accounts showing “pride” are likely fake and propagandists - after the video of some drag show for kids I don’t really care to be inclusive with the “lgbtq+lmnop” community

This is so out of touch and incorrect as well. I recommend educating yourself on the subject more. Also just because something makes you uncomfortable, doesn't mean it's wrong and should be hidden

Assuming that a group with a dissenting opinion are dealing in bad faith, and that without any evidence, is the very definition of dealing in bad faith. On your premise there can never be a dialogue, and it’s entirely self-inflicted.

These people are the sort that would say they were being shoved down our throats if a gay couple was shown in Valentine’s Day. It’s not about pride month, it’s about a reminder that men can love men, and women can love women.

They want to live a cosy life free from the knowledge that some people aren’t straight. When they say it, they label it virtue signalling, or wokeness. Truth is, marvel has always been “woke”. Look at the amount of issues they tackle, through mutants, sexuality, race, class etc.

But where is my white male pride month, my chance to be proud?

This really is a new level.

I am a straight white male. I do not need pride month because there is nothing that oppresses me.

People can be discriminatory to me yes, but there is no systematic racism or sexism or discrimination based on my sexuality. The system is not rigged against me in any way.

Yes, I can have a thousand problems, I could have an awful life. But none of those problems will be caused by the colour of my skin, my gender or sexuality.

Pride month and black history month and the like are because those groups are oppressed, and face systematic discrimination. They are to show bigots like you that it’s an ok thing to be, and to show members of those groups that we no longer live in a world where the sorts of things that you are saying is acceptable.

So it’s fine to be gay as long as you’re quiet over in the corner?

Kids play this game and will not be turned gay by a few rainbows in a game for a month. If your sexuality is that fragile then maybe have a think about why that is.

Straight kids will remain straight but see that being gay is nothing to be scared of, gay kids will see it and feel proud that this is not something to be ashamed of.

Peoples “sexuality” which is who you engage in intercourse with should be kept private just like your religious beliefs
Because the modern lgbtq community is like a new religion.

And I’m sure you were just as upset and up in arms about this video weren’t you?

Look, Kabam are broadcasting straightness all over the place, kids play this game and they don’t deserve to see couples holding hands. Keep that stuff in private like religion. Straightness is like a new religion these days.

You know for about 15 minutes there I was back to thinking that I would never let my daughter on this forum. But I will say that whichever mods cleaned this up, whomever decided to make that two spirits flag, and all of the forum members who immediately stood up to homophobic rants, I think that’s enough for me to feel that she’s safe here. And that’s a huge deal.

That’s really cool to hear!

Every homophobic rant about pride month ironically shows the need for pride month more clearly than anything else.

I'm with the guy who said he's not bothered about them because he doesn't buy PFPs, I do like to get ones linked to achievements, but I'm fussy about which I bother to spend units on and with these, I just find them rather boring and not aesthetically appealing. I'd rather trade in the tokens for something else.

Is there any explanation as to what each one represents ? Or are they just random colours?
