LGBTQ+

[iAlphaSoldier]

 

Welcome everyone!

 

I wanted to create a LGBT+ themed space for everyone from our little community and our allies on this trophy hunting site. Whether you want to discuss something LGBT+ themed, make new friends or if there's something you just want to ask someone from the community, this is the place to post it.

 

Let's kick this off by telling you a bit about me. I'm Mike from Germany, 26 years old and have only fairly recently started trophy hunting, but making very good progress with it. I'm a queer trans guy and if you would like to add me on PSN or send me PMs here, you're very welcome to do so.

 

?

 

Share as much or as little about you as you feel comfortable with.

 

Please be respectful and kind to everyone as rude and hateful comments will be reported.

Thank you for creating this space.

Hey man more power to you.I don't discriminate I appreciate ?

Why didn't i think to create a thread like this? This will be great to get all the gaymers together. 

[HcG Clawz]

I honestly dont understand the purpose of this thread. Its like saying you're vegan or you're a girl gamer. We're all human and are all the same. There's no point in telling you're lesbian gay bi or trans, i mean is there a thread for heteros aswell. 

[Parker]

I don't think this needs to be said, but I'm going to say it anyway. Regardless of your personal feelings about this particular topic, I expect everyone to be respectful towards each other. 

 

@HcG Clawz The point of this thread is to meet and discuss with like-minded individuals or just talking about things that affect this community in general. Yes we're all human and we all deserve to be treated the same, unfortunately, that isn't always the case and a lot of homosexual or trans people can feel very alienated, even within a generally accepting community like PSNP, so having a place to discuss things with no judgment can be helpful.

Here is my contribution to this thread.

Don't even know why my post got removed as i said nothing offense, disrespectfull or off topic. And honestly i dont care about what people are into. And i honestly support them but still why make a thread specially for this. What about the heterosexual people. This is pretty discriminating tbh.

[ahmedelebiary]

since sexuality based topics are allowed..does the same goes to religion based ones ?

Is there any chance we can get this thread pinned?

There is no reason for this thread to be pinned. It's just another off-topic conversation like the rest.

[ratchetdude231]

I don't mean this in a dickish or offensive way, but at the end of the day we are all one community here. I don't see much of a reason for this to exist. 

 

We are all one community that loves trophies,gaming, anime etc, so I really don't get the point of this thread.

@HcG Clawz What post got removed? I explained one reason why a member of this community would want this thread to be made, if you don't like it, ignore the thread. 

 

What about the heterosexual people? I think it is hard to argue that homosexual and trans people face a lot of issues that a straight person never has to face so I can't see a need for a heterosexual thread. There is nothing discriminating about this thread, every PSNP member is allowed to post here as long as they remain respectful, this thread isn't only open to certain people.

 

If you'd like to discuss further please shoot me a PM, I don't want to clog the thread with off topic posts. 

 

@ahmedelebiary Yes, again, as long as people can be respectful. In my experience with prior religion threads, people can't be respectful about their differing opinions and members get warned or banned and threads get shut down. 

 

@EternalChaos72 Pinned threads generally have to do with the site in general, so I'm not going to pin this one.

I don't think there is a problem with creating threads dealing with heterosexuality, vegans, female gamers, etc...is there?...heck I'd welcome vegan baking ideas or female gamer comps or points of view...don't really see the purpose of a hetero one, but on the other hand can understand the motivation for creating one like this...I don't think alpha's goal was to create a thread that only lgbtq+ members could post in or relate to...as far as I can tell anyone can join in on the discussion so the feeling of exclusion must be coming from within, no?...I see it as "lgbtq+ gamers unite"...the key word being gamers...plz delete if too off topic...

Its in off-topic Area so it dont need a reason or a point for gaming.  But i think its always a good idea to find in a big community people with same interests , hobbies or ideas.

Because even if we share big hobby like trophies or gaming , life is way more complex so other interests can still bring people closer together.

And if this thread fullfills this idea of bringing people closer together , than there is your point or reason .

 

 

 

[iAlphaSoldier]

I don't see any of you posting things like this in anime or sports threads. There are plenty of people, myself included, who don't like those things but you don't see me on there saying there's no point in them. To each their own. If you think this is unnecessary, there's no one forcing you to visit this thread. Just move on and do something else.

 

Thanks for asking to pin this thread @EternalChaos72 I'm sure people who are interested in something LGBT themed will find this via the search function in the forum. If it did get pinned, I'm sure a lot more of the above comments would be here and it would get closed at some point because of that. No one would benefit from that.

 

General question: what's your favorite LGBT character in games? I know there aren't that many to pick from I enjoyed Tony from GTA a lot (Ballad of Gay Tony). It was great seeing a kind of sensitive guy like that in a tough guy environment.

Well there is an anime thread, there is the Australian Gaming thread, I believe there is a Scottish gaming thread so the point of this thread is for people of the LGBT community to come together and talk...it really isn't hurting anyone.

 

I mean I don't love Anime but you lumped me into the "one community" statement. I don't go into the Anime thread and say "why is this needed", no I just ignore that thread completely (and the 2 dozen other anime threads that are on this site). I mean the only time I even mention Anime is after I beat an RPG and have to vent about all the horrible creepy fan service....but that is something that can be saved for Private Messages because I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT ANYMORE.

 

So in the end if you don't like this thread...don't post here...it is really that simple.

[Conker]

i have no issue with this thread, i'm not gay but i support you  

 

it's good to see others in he do, some others just

@Ratchet Dude, @Parker  clearly explained why this thread was made in the first place.  It's not UNWELCOMING for people who aren't LGBTQ.  If you feel that way, then you're completely missing the point of this thread.  There are sports threads, Anime threads, etc.  Hopefully, this won't go off topic too much, like other political/societal issues

That's quite an interesting question...sadly and embarrassingly, despite it being in the title, never even noticed Tony was gay...haha...the gta iv is one of the best singleplayer add-ons I've come across to date and particularly for the time in which it was released...gonna have to play through it again now...

 

Do you have any more examples of lgbtq characters?...I'm wondering how many other games I played in complete oblivion...

I'm not the guy who asked the question, but there's Shepard from Mass Effect (or any Bioware main character really), Persona 3 has a gay couple I think, might be Persona 2. Other than those yeah, I really can't think of any off the top of my head.

[grimydawg___]

Mass Effect bruh.  You screw anything with legs LOL

Corpse Party: Seiko confess her love to her best friend.  hm.. im sure there are way more in games i have played, but i cant remember any right now.

[iAlphaSoldier]

Well, @ProfBambam55 the only other two that come to mind is Assassin's Creed Syndicate with Ned Wynert who's a transman (but never really referred to as one) and another GTA game with Vice City Stories. The latter featured a trans character as well, though not very well imo. A side character there who gives you a couple of missions was gender fluid and kept getting reassignment surgeries (changing back and forth with male and female body characteristics). But seeing as GTA isn't really known for being politically correct, I can look past that (was a good game regardless).

 

I've never really played Mass Effect, but yeah, that game really does seem to be great and being able to literally screw everyone and everything is an added bonus

[MesopithecusUK]

Leonardo Da Vinci in Assassin's Creed.  I'm not sure if it was ever explicitly stated, but it was definitely alluded to.  Also, I believe Walter and Matthew in Season 2 of the Walking Dead game were a gay couple.
