!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Because I don't find you terribly sympathetic. Yes, I would like better inclusion and more variety in games and can look at past examples and point out what worked and what didn't from a queer perspective but you came in hot with your nose out of joint about how what is being asked is bad "for everyone" as though you are the arbitor of the everyman.
It's worthless to conceed ground over and over again to people who always wanted us to disappear. It doesn't work. You want to go on the woke advisory board on Steam and see how nit picky they get? This isn't about media. This is part of an interconnected effort to get all of us to disappear from public life forever and it didn't start, it never stopped and the point is it won't until it all goes back to the way it used to be.
What is "in it" for the non-queer gamers is realizing they aren't the center of the fucking universe. That they can show their support for something that isn't explicitly for them and leave homophobic assholes with no wonderful jungle of slightly less homophobic assholes to hide behind. But no the second it costs you anything suddenly it's the end of the fucking world. People want to feel all nice and accepting and open minded but they never want it to actually inconvenience them.
By all means keep on harping your one fucking studio you hate. I hope it keeps you warm.
Sure, make it my fault for disagreeing that following fundamental principles of good game design is somehow a cop out. Whatever makes you sleep better.
And you proceed to describe what would benefit queer people, if they managed to keep non-queer gamers on their side or at least neutral. Which just proves my point.
Some people don't want to be inconvenienced at all, most people don't want to be inconvenienced for no good reason. There is a big difference.
Yes, what you are doing now seems to be working great. Best of luck with that.
