    The original request was for inclusion, and you bloodthirsty foamers reject them out of hand because you’re petty. You’re sitting there putting people down and thinking you’re just so cool because everyone straight is obviously the kind of person who hurt you before.

      I’m straight too so I’m having a hard time understanding. Why do you and that guy feel the need to make yourselves victims of an imagined atrocity?

        Because by having a title for straight people it takes a step towards no longer making that the default. Similarly, if they’ve got Ace it would be nice to also have Allo. Maybe they do and it wasn’t mentioned in the article 🤷

          Are you saying that the word “straight” implies default instead of a direction kinda like how feminism really implies “for women” instead of egalitarian?

            I’m saying by not having the label in the game, the creators are assuming it is the default which should not be the case.

            So they should include it and not be glib.

              So no matter whether it’s assumed or called “straight”, it’s bad to consider it a default?

              Broski, it’s pretty much default.

            That’s the point, isn’t it? Nothing is wrong with any of it so why not treat everyone with equality?

        I’m not straight. This shit is exactly the kind of shit we complain about every day, and if it’s not fine for us, it’s not fine for them. You can’t just throw shit back the other way and tell yourself you fight for equality and inclusion. We don’t win that fight.

          Hold on, is the straight person arguing for the gays, and the gay person arguing for the straights?? (I’m pansexual and I think we should all just get along)
