I'm Hoping That S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Has More LGBT Characters

[THIS GAME ⁧⁧SUCKS]

Hello all,
My name is Philip, and I'm a long time STALKER fan. Love the series, but one thing missing was that the cast of Strelok et al. did not represent my demographic characteristics very well (nonbinary lesbian). Any news from GSC on this? Haven't seen anything on Google.

And I'm hoping that admins will take care of troll posts like this one.

Not trolling, just asking for information about the game (I'm hyped for STALKER 2 release).

Phillip, It will not have LGBT characters at all. Same as all previous stalker games.

I can't believe this. Surely you're just kidding? Kind of disappointing if it's true

yeah, it's very bad. You can write about your suggestions to GSC developers in official discord server.

Discord server? Do I need to make an account for that?

the lack of representation of lgbt characters is disappointing. i add that the main character to develop down syndrome, while his helper should be plus-sized

Of course.

Got it. Thanks

Dude, there used to be not even a single woman (not even among mutants) in the whole Zone for years.

Obviously EVERY character became a LGBTQ+ representative, sooner or later.

How do you know Stalker didn't already have LGBTQ+ characters? What exactly gives you the right to make those assumptions?

I mean, what was Strelok really searching for? Was wolf and Fanatic always looking out for those newcombers because they were "Just freinds"?

What exactly were all those bandits running from anyway? Maybe themselves, maybe persecution from a Patriarchal Slavic society that doesn't accept them.
I think Duty speaks for themselves, all that black leather and subservience.

But what I think Shadow of Chernobyl was really all about, was about Strelok searching for answers, and finally coming to terms with his identity, as a non Binary man who identifies as a Burer.

I think the assumptions you have made really are just showing how much you need to keep an open mind. Stalker is clearly laden with undertones addressing the most important topics, like identity, sexuality, and the search for acceptance.

Why is it necessary to include these choices regarding sexual preference in a video game? When considering a more extreme situation like a global conflict, such nuances become irrelevant. In the face of war, the idea of 'safe spaces' and men adopting traditionally feminine attire like dresses would no longer hold significance. Such a scenario would starkly differentiate the strong from the weak. It's generally perceived that in times of serious conflict, the expectation is for 'real men' – those not 'prancing around in skirts with beards' – to be the ones fighting for the protection of women and children.

How did NImble hide that USB drive?

You might be correct. What app did that "Find Strelok" notification come from? Grindr? Those bandits need to reproduce, somehow.

This is good news!

Have you ever watched a movie called The Shawshank Redemption?

Cease responding to a question with another question when the initial inquiry was directed at you. This behaviour is impolite and irritating, and it's expected that you understand this principle, as it's usually taught at a very young age.
