The Thanos and Hela one is probably the most interesting, because that’s not just holding hands - people who specifically say that these images of same sex couples “sexualise” children because of showing couples holding hands, I hope you’d show the same stance on this.
I dont understand how the Lgbtq+ community is relevant with this game i really don't, but what I'm confused about is the fact that everything else not game related is against the rules here on the forums but pride month is game related? I don't think it is therefore people shouldn't bring it up, just play the game and don't mention anything other than the game. Very simple.
+1. Especially we are discussing highly political and SEXUAL CONTENT on a kids game🤡.
Where is the sexual content?
Oh lgbt is about mathematics or Pokemon right?
What exactly is the sexual content though, can you give me a screenshotted example.
I don’t think LGBT champions being added to the game is sexual. Which part is the sexual part to you?
Lgbt characters getting added in game is fine,nd marvel promoting inclusivity is great,but should we really discuss about them on forums?
So where is the sexual content part? I’m not quite following
Discussing about lgbt is sexual content... When someone see this and asks what is lgbt,how will you explain them?
Sexuality ≠ sexual. I don’t see how discussing same sex relationships is sexual at all. Just like discussing a heterosexual relationship isn’t sexual
How would you explain someone about homosexuality?
Some boys like other boys. Some girls like other girls. Some people like both.

Because if you are fine with this
But hate this
It’s probably time to look at your biases.
It would be a good idea to read my responses to see if I actually hated the Wiccan and Hulking one when I stated otherwise, but have at it.
Actually my reaction to all of the examples is the same (especially the Thanos one). Mild cringe. But don't care enough about romance in my fighting games.
The bottom line is years of subversive rejection is hard to shake. It's ingrained in some people that anything related to my community is perverse and unnatural. That's been built over time. I don't expect anyone to have a sudden change of heart from a conversation on here. I will however, whenever staying within the rules of the Forum allows me to, speak the truth and point out the lack of fairness.

You referred to all of this as "pushing this stuff to the fore" as if to say that as long as you don't see it, you're okay with it. If it's romance in general that you're against, then why suggest that Pride Month is causing the hate and not Valentine's Day?

I hadn’t actually aimed any of that at you, I was just tagging the people in the conversation so as to not clog up by quoting the full thread…

What gave you the idea I was talking about myself? Go back and read my posts. Quote my other response about Hulkling and Wiccan too for context. You picked and chose what you wanted to see and that's not my problem.
And for the record, valentine's day is cringe as well.

Your original comment implied that the reaction is caused by pushing things to the front. That's exactly what's needed. Whether here or in other avenues, it needs to be talked about. It needs to be seen. People are tired of hiding, of hating themselves because they can't be open like the rest of what is socially acceptable, tired of burying people who couldn't see that it gets better. The saddest part of all of it is it's nothing people have done. It's the way they've come into the world. Existing is controversial. It's needless. There are many other causes like this one and I don't claim ours is more important. On the contrary. We know what it's like. People need to stop depriving the rights and freedoms of others to live happy and harmless lives. Take marriage equality for example. We've had it for some time in Canada, but some people still don't quite grasp the necessity. It's not about religion. It's about legal rights. There was a time when I could spend 40-50 years of my life with someone, building a home and a business, sharing a life with them. If they died, their family would have all the rights. Our life wouldn't be legally recognized. They could take control of everything and stop me from even participating in the funeral. That's messed up. Superheroes have always had an element of hope in them. That includes people seeing themselves in that. You can't have one without the other.
Whatever they are, it doesn't matter. It shouldn't be mattering.
So we should remove all romance stories from Marvel? Is that what you're saying?
They're simply saying that their sexuality doesn't matter in terms of our personal life and that whatever someone is doesn't mean we treat them different.

I don't know Canadian law, but couldn't they each write a Will that is legally binding for what happens to their belongings and how a funeral is to performed? I get what you're trying to say, but i think the example you gave might not be the best. What rights, besides marriage, were not given in Canada in the past?

It was only in 1969 that it was decriminalized. I don't think people grasp how short of a time that's been.

My original point was a general one. We likely have the same outlook but disagree on how to get there.
What I was saying is that the best way to normalize things is to make them mundane. If you release a character who happens to be a member of any minority group and people eventually find out, it probably turns out to be no big deal. I take that stance personally too as I would greatly dislike being championed for my particular minority affiliations (let alone for an entire month).
Just a difference of opinion is all. And being in NYC, being gay is about as boring as watching paint dry and, in my opinion, that's how things should be.

I'd love it if that was true everywhere. Unfortunately, the world isn't there yet.

There have been quite a few examples of straight couples in the game.
Most notably is Sersi and Ikaris, who were added the same month. They kicked things off with this motion comic
With frames such as:
