Is anyone else for representation but feels they're going about it too heavily-handed?

I have no issue with any sort of sexual orientation, race,, etc. I believe if you're not hurting anyone then there's nothing wrong with you.

However, it feels like Respawn is being so extremely heavy handed. It feels like half the roster is on the LGBT spectrum, and they make sure you know it, too. A gay legend will make sure they have that they're gay very clearly written in their bio, or in the case of Catalyst, straight-up mentioned in their trailer. Whereas I don't think any legend has a straight relationship mentioned in their bio.

It feels like they're trying to pander and it seems disingenuous. Does anyone else feel this way? It just feels really grating.

EDIT: If y'all don't stop acting dumb this post is going to get deleted, stop.

you are right. That's why I am stopping playing from now on. It has been a long journey (11 seasons for me). See ya guys

You are kinda late to realise that. I mean the lesbian with wings says which kind of women she prefers. Could it be more heavy handed?

[KuroSenshi]

Forcing to show it up, and no one asked.

I prefer the bloodhound and Gib version..where you find it out into some backstory and sorta.

That Outlander video it was just "Propaganda" like an LGBT Ads (Sorta)

I quit playing a few months ago after 3++ years of Apex Legends and one of the main reasons is that the game just went the wrong way.
After years of lying about cross progression and other quality of life fixes and ranked being totally ruined I just had it.

My 2 cents on the new Legend being trans, it is fine when certain things get added to the game, but to much is to much.
I feel like its a wrong way of basing everyone's personality on gender,sex or sexuality it is like that is how people see personality now days?
What is next categorizing all legends with mental labels? Like Octane has ADHD and so on...

I wish they had focused more on the actual game play and story progression instead of who is going to do who and who has a ding dong and who doesn't.
But hi, its EA we could have seen this coming from miles away, I am surprised it took them this long to totally ruin the game.

Are there any voicelines of characters saying anything remotely romantic towards the opposite gender?

I was playing this game from day one, the amount of LGBTQWERTY+ representation is too big for me so im done with this game as well. see you guys in better game,

It has always been about moral grandstanding, nothing new. Before it was the Church Lady now it is the Diversity Lead.

It doesn't "hurt", its just annoying. You and everyone else would feel the exact same way if the devs all became Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc and littered the game with that ideology. We're trying to play a competitive online fps not have someones sexual propaganda shoved in our face.

I just don't care either way. I agree with the content of what you said but not the sentiment. If this game was created by either mormons or jw it would be a horrible game, although likely hilarious. The characters would be an array of psychos like this but probably a uniform group of the nicest and most modest murderers ever to exist

This spurred the thought that I'm genuinely curious about. Pandering to the 'alphabet' and all of these diverse characters are crazed killers. What does that say about their view of the community? If one were to read into it that much

Its not about representation, its about over representation.
When over half the Legends would be white straight males it would be annoying too.
Same as with half the game being overly sexualized females like Loba,
even I do think a lot of virgin nerds would be happy with that.

According to a quick google search about 7.1% of the people in the US identity as LGBTQ+
But some how nearly half the roster of the game seems to be some how LGBTQ+ related.

It is clear now that EA/Respawn is trying to push there political agenda because they some how think that fixes the servers and adds cross progression to the game.

YOu cant be racist, sexist, homophobic or something else and still expect to earn money with it.

LGBTQ+++++++++ is the new thing so companys have to (at least pretend) like all those groups otherwise they wont earn enough money if everyone thinks they hate all those groups.

You cant just orientate yourself to make a product only for the heterosexual, white male and expect the maximum income with it.

I dont care what anyone is as long as it has no negative impact on me.
But i love how something like this triggers all those hateful snowflakes

Yeah, they should add only 1 or 2 LGBTQIA+ characters, 1 token black character and the rest can all be straight white god fearing Americans right?

I would totally (never) buy that.
