Well there we have it folks. Ana Bray was put in the game for the purpose of "da leffish magenda." This whole post could have basically been summed up by just saying, "Look I'm no homophobe because I'm nice enough that I don't kill them, just keep them out of sight and out of mind."
[quote]The character’s sexuality should not be the premise of their story unless it’s a romance. There is such thing as forced diversity, diversity that doesn’t happen in a natural manner.[/quote]
What in the hell is diversity that happens in "a natural manner."
[quote]The same goes for Ana as we have now. Her entire story revolves around her homosexuality, which is paired with shit character development, makes it feel out of place.[/quote]
Is there a pride parade mission in Warmind that I missed? I thought what she was doing had something to do with Rasputin, and Zavala David Copperfielding himself out of nowhere. I had no idea she was on a crusade for gay rights. Especially since you would think they would have gay rights in the year 23 million or whenever this game takes place.

What?

As long as this kind of stuff stays in the comics and lore I’m fine. I don’t really care about this kind of stuff in video games.

I laughed out loud when I read about character revolving around homosexuality, as if there aren't plenty of examples in literature of heterosexually driven characters, from Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, loads of Shakespearean characters, all the way back to the ancient Greeks, literally tens of thousands of pages of great literature where characters are driven by their heterosexual desire. One might find it interesting to note that the character driven story is relatively new in history. GMAFB. It's obvious a lot of people complaining about this kiss (actually, two kisses, yes, I've read it. I'm betting plenty of commenters haven't) don't read or haven't read anything of import since high school and definitely have little to no background in writing.

We have not mamy developed characters in Destiny and the newly resurrected has to be gay for marketing reasons. That's pretty obvious. Btw. I live in a house with some people that are gay and even married and we had a nice party last weekend and nobody got killed. People, left and right, are projecting their fears and their hate on each other and spoil the world for the 90% "live and let live" majority.

Edited by Valus Rage, Wrecker of Joy: 7/13/2018 2:41:01 PMAna’s story litterly does revolve around her being gay. I mean they couldn’t of made her more interesting? For example a flashback of her fighting at twilight gap/ a journal from her early years. A good gay character in the lore is Eris morn with her group eriana 3 and wei ning. I mean please you can’t tell me that they aren’t interesting. The fact of the matter is that they took more time explaining that ana bray is gay then explaining [b]ANYTHING[/b] else about her.

"I mean they couldn’t of [sic] made her more interesting? For example a flashback of her fighting at twilight gap/ a journal from her early years." Based on the quality of the comic, I don't believe they could have made her more interesting. The writing is poor, sparse even for comics, and just about as cliche ridden as your flashback - journal from her early years ideas. That people have seized upon the character's sexual preference and then, in an attempt to appear tolerant, conflate that with the ham-handed attempt to flesh out her character is worse than the writing itself. It exposes a lack of character on the commenters' part.

Edited by MONKEYGOTRABIES: 7/13/2018 9:24:03 AMSo your complaint is about bad writing. And Destiny has always had bad storytelling. If people want to have a conversation about bad writing and bad storytelling with Ana as an example that's certainly meritted. The simple fact is there have been so many more posts about this as more diverse characters are added, and most of them rail against "forced diversity, SJW writers, leftist agenda," and so on. Most of these suggest an issue with inclussion rather than implementation. There are A LOT of people that are used to seeing characters in media in which they can see some possible permutation of their self, and when they see more and more characters with which they cannot, they see a diminishing of their potential worth and power. This makes them angry and whether they admit it or not, afraid. This is, for the most part, where most of these posts come from.

I don't know if I posted it in this homophobe's thread or another one, but I had totally forgot Ana was gay until today. I didn't read the comic until today and I don't see what the big deal is. If people are really that truly concerned about the way the love story was written then there is a whole lot more to be complaining about writing wise. Why does it matter so much that her being gay is the focus of the comic book? Zavala could have had a comic book about him giving birth to thralls and most of these people complaining wouldn't have batted an eye. Instead they use made up subjective terms like "forced diversity" to mask the fact that they didn't want to see two girls kissing. The worst part is they act like its some kind of liberal conspiracy trying to force the gayness upon the country. Its small minded and blatantly obvious what these people think the real problem is.

BAM! Spot on.

Very well stated.

Edited by FilthySimper: 7/13/2018 2:38:33 PMWhat the OP is referring to is there’s so much else that Ana could bring to the table, twilight gap, her powerful light, her discovery of the bray family, but all they focus on is the search for Rasputin which is still intertwined with her relationship. The problem isn’t the relationship itself, it’s the lack of everything else.

The comic only talks about anything to do with Rasputin because it went with the warmind DLC. Bungie had to make tie together.
