@HungaryHippo @Demonzfyre @Emilia90 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 https://youtu.be/ta_3pnS-J_s With frames such as:Then when joining the game, we had art like the below We’ve also had other examples, and bear in mind I’m picking a few here, this is not the entire list 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. Because if you are fine with thisBut hate thisIt’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.

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?

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.
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?

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.

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?

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. 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.
