A Lesbian Scientist...

Why are people so mad/surprised?? A world set a couple centuries ahead of our would more than likely be fine with things we're still stupidly hung up on. Ikora is a woman of color as a Vanguard. She kicked Shaxx's arse in the Crucible, reinvented how we think about circles AND has an information network dedicated to lurking in shadows. Not to mention she's a Warlock, a class not really [i]meant[/i] for battle. And SOMEHOW managed to do a double Nova Bomb during the invasion. Suraya leads an entire commune without even asking the City for help. She even knocks Zavala down a peg by pointing out she's not afraid even though she never had Light. Later, Zavala even acknowledged her skill by calling her "Guardian" Ana was/is a scientist who worked on some of the biggest innovations of the Golden Age. She earned Shaxx's respect by creating pools of light via GG at Twilight Gap. When Zavala told her to be more concerned with Tower affairs, she faked her death so she could do as she saw fit. Face it, women in Destiny are tough as nails and are blatantly unapologetic about it. If you're gonna whine that Ana isn't straight, that's a you problem. #LongLiveTheLesbians

    It's just a symptom of the video game industry's overreaction to the bunch of 15 year olds that caused the Gamergate fallout. Some bigoted, knuckledragging dolts were opposed to literally everything that wasn't in line with a Duke Nuke'm level of comical masculinity. SJW's inflated the issue exponentially, and started moronic, knuckledragging protest to force artificial diversity into everything. Now we're faced with stuff like the new fake Battlefield controversy. 6 basement-dwelling morons took to twitter to say that women don't belong in Battlefield games, and Battlefield devs responded by pretending that they're bravely standing up to some massive segment of a population of bullies. They're not. Nobody cares. It's 2018. Nobody with an ounce of critical thinking abilities actually has an issue with a female, LGBT, or racial minority protagonist. It's more that it's just insulting to the video gaming community (and should be insulting to minority and female demographics) when you force a character and act like their minority or female status is the only relevant aspect of their personality.
