Dragon Age creator David Gaider weighed in on the discourse surrounding Veilguard.

I have never met a trans person and I’ve only known about 3 gay people personaly… so why are they in every source of media?

You have met trans people. It isn’t in every source of media. You are experiencing warped perceptions. Show this post to someone you trust.

Get out of here jerkface! /s

It’s part of an effort to normalize seeing it. I think it’s probably good, but it’s just a bit unrealistic sometimes and feels very forced. ':)

I have never met a trans person

As far as you know

Yeah good point

I thought I’d never meet a trans person and very few gay people in the agricultural college I attended when I went back to college. Turned out every damn one of the friends I made was somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. So as the other person said “as far as you know”

Acceptance of gay and trans rights has allowed so many people to realize they’re not so straight or not so cisgender and that’s wonderful. People are finally finding the freedom to be who they are!

I support their rights, they are people, the genitals only mader in bed. I just don’t want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking “god damn, it was femboy paradies!”

This is so hyperbolic I have to wonder where this thinking comes from?

These things are very tied together. Supporting people being who they are means supporting them if they want to publicly show their identity

I just don’t want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking “god damn, it was femboy paradies!”

What does that matter at all? Who cares what people in the far future think? What matters is what people think today, and representation helps people find their own identity and know that they’re included in society

Enough creators I follow are coming out as trans that I wonder if I’m missing something about myself. I don’t think it’s me… but if not, I sure can pick 'em.

Admittedly the rate among webcomic artists is through the fucking roof.

Lol I feel that. I can’t tell how much I might be a little bi or just horny

I’m definitely bi, but Lemmy’s wash of trans / autistic / communist content leads to what-ifs.
