Ana’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.

    So 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.

    What 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.
