That's actually the problem. This is the problem with Star Wars and all this shit about forcing us to confront our "bigotry". The problem is that we aren't bigots in the first place. I would have LOVED, absolutely loved it if Ana Bray was developed as a fully fledged character in the campaign of Warmind. (Actually, that applies to every character and every campaign.) I do not object to her being a woman, or that she chooses a woman as a lover. That's cool. That's who she is. Awesome. The problem is that I have no fxcking clue who she is otherwise. It's hidden in the lore somewhere that she was a badass gunslinger at one time and that she did all these... these... things... Oh! Right! That's where I draw a fxcking blank because her story, her struggles, her achievements, her choices (good or bad), [i]are not in the fxcking story.[/i] I have no idea who she is as a person, as a guardian. I guess I could ask My Name is Byf, because he's the only one that even gives a shit to actually tell these stories unlike Bungie. But it ain't in the game. Maybe instead of "sending messages" about inclusiveness or diversity or whatever, they could give her a narrative that actually tells the bigger story of Destiny, something this game [i]sorely[/i] needs. It could include romance. With a female. With a male. With a robot... we don't give a fxck. But slapping together a comic that's basically just another forced message we didn't need in the first place? I mean the whole point is to see her as a relatable character with struggles and dreams and hopes and badassery, as an individual. [i]Not to just see her as a pawn[/i], a character stuffed in a categorized box that says "I'm gay and that's all you need to know about me." That's even [b]more[/b] bigoted. Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn could turn out to be gay at some point, and I would not bat an eye. Do you know why? Because she is an awesome character. I got to see her grow, I got to experience fighting fxcking Thunderjaws with her. I got to see her power through a world too scared of their own fears and discover who she truly is and how that fits into the story of HZD. Didn't care she had a vagina. Didn't care if she was white or black or gay or ginger or what the fxck ever. I cared about her story because I got to bond with her as a human being in that game. I related to her struggles, worried for her, cheered for her, because they told an awesome story and developed her character. And it wasn't a story about "Look how awesome I am for having ovaries" or "better get ready to accept me you bigot gamers." They gave us reasons to want to pick the controller up and play as Aloy every day. What does Ana Bray do? She drones about "I've got to uncover my family's past" even though we don't ever even see that past or her family's secrets. We see basically nothing about her in the game. We read something here or there. But if she died in the tomorrow I couldn't care less. Because she is a stranger. And all I know about her is she had a girlfriend. Wow. That's great Ana. I had a dog that died one time, that was sad too. She's a stranger, a cardboard cutout I don't even know. Never seen her fight. Never seen her make a tough choice. Never seen her fight along side me on the ice caps of Mars. I've seen her type, I've heard her say, "Trust Rasputin" though no one really knows why we should, and I've seen her give me the same shitty cloak 4 times in a row. How bout have her be [i]more[/i] than just her sexuality. Have her be more than just a political talking piece. Have her be a great character we can relate to.
