Undertale made me realized years ago exactly how easy it is to include gay characters in videogames and I haven’t been the same since then
Trans characters too cause switching pronouns for characters? Explicitely using they/them for some of them? Having transgender ghosts and using them inhabiting a new body as a metaphor for transitioning? It was brilliant, and it was something that while it wasn’t the main focus of the story, it was well handled and a nice addition to the plot.
And again, gay characters that express their attraction towards the same gender explicitely! The fact that the only way to get the true happy ending in the story can be achieved by getting together Alphys and Undyne and making Alphys face her mistakes and accept herself so she wouldn’t be so miserable!! It’s good, it’s refreshing, and it makes me so mad that not many games (or any media, really) reaxhes Undertale’s level on this matter. I’m not calling Undertale a paragon of LGBT rep, it’s not! I’m saying it created a standard and that many much bigger videogames don’t even get close to it.
Writing LGBT characters that aren’t miserable for being who they are, caricatures or victims of homo/transphobic violence is EASY. Deciding to let LGBT people be happy in your content is EASY.
Seriously, how many times did they just let their babies wonder off all by themselves?!
Watch your whore mouth. Chas finster is doing the best he can given the fact that hes a single widow raising a child who was traumatized by the death of his mother.
anyways fuck america for not educating students about the aids crisis whatsoever
my drama teacher mentioned to us “most of my friends from college are dead” and I knew right away what he meant. he explained “I was a drama major in the 1980s” and still no one else in the class understood. he explained a little bit about the aids crisis, but these kids had no idea before. it is truly heartbreaking to hear about it, and especially to see it being erased.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
