Two Apex Legends characters are LGBTQ, say EA and Respawn
http://tinyurl.com/ycs97234
APEX LEGENDS is already making waves in the battle royale genre and it’s
also proving to be ahead of the game when it comes to LGBTQ representation,
too. Both EA and Respawn has confirmed that there are two APEX LEGENDS LGBTQ
CHARACTERS, amounting to a quarter of the current roster. These LGBTQ
Legends, to give them their in-game titles, are part of the game’s
forward-thinking approach to the representation of minority and marginalized
groups.
EA’s official bio page for the Legends specifically notes the sexuality of
Gibraltar, one of eight characters you can play as in Respawn’s
just-released battle royale. He is revealed to have once gone on a joyride
with when he and “his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle,” making him
an openly gay or bisexual protagonist a launch, a rarity in the medium.
The LGBTQ representation doesn’t stop there. As revealed by Jay Frechette,
community manager at Respawn, during an interview with RPS is the fact that
there is a second Apex Legends LGBTQ character, with Frechette confirming to
reporter Nic Rueben that, “Bloodhound is non-binary, or at least
non-specified, in terms of gender.”
In fact, the entirety of the Apex Legends roster is a refreshingly diverse
group. Along with the two aforementioned LGBTQ characters are three women,
two of whom are black. It is perhaps worth noting that Caustic (a white male)
is locked behind over a dozen hours of grinding through gameplay, or
available at the cost of $7.99. Considering the majority of games tend to
feature white male protagonists, Respawn has certainly opted for a change of
pace in this regard.
Of course, others have also made strides in recent months when it comes to
revealing LGBTQ characters. Blizzard announced via a comic back in January
that Overwatch hero Soldier 76 is gay.
With the lack of brouhaha surrounding these two reveals in particular at
launch, this may be indicative of the idea that positive LGBTQ representation
(and the lack of vitriolic abuse) can become the new normal in battle
royales, gaming, and the world beyond.

EA放出的官方消息。
Gibraltar 是Gay，有男朋友。
还有另一位Bloodhound说是非二元性向的角色。
然后还有提到本作十分的政治正确......(下略)
顺路提一下，LGBT大家都知道是女同性恋者（Lesbian）、男同性恋者（Gay）、双性恋者
（Bisexual）与跨性别者（Transgender），再加上Q是指 酷儿 (Queer) 和性别认同疑
惑者 (Questioning)。
美国乡民对这消息的反应大都是：“哦！这很重要吗？”
业界自清持续中......

怎么现在多个Q了

？？？

有种出一个跨性别黑人甲甲幕斯林啦

笑死 以后要不要多个H叫直升机性向

吸收同性恋市场

太政治正确了吧 可是SJW又不会玩

EA 484以为这样平权团体就不会找麻烦？太天真惹

自首无罪 怕

有没有无所谓的设定，但还是要先表态一下，以免事后被靠北

很重要吗

Queer其实几乎是LGBT的等意 是LBGT为了避免传统用语

这称呼越来越长了...

很重要阿 看看OW 你现在不说 之后再说会被嘴跪舔

的歧视而使用的新字眼...总之最后变成LGBTQ

有这种设定要赶快公布才行

可是这样只是多一个字母被歧视而已吧？

另外还有个词叫queer radicalism 酷儿激进主义

不先说明白会让某些人崩溃哭吃书啊

总之..你不会想惹queer radicalism的

没办法有人会找麻烦只好先自清，无奈

可是现在queer变成用来骂全体lgbt的话惹~这样有卡好？

还以为是Mirage 可以自攻自受

好 反正我不玩了 呕呕呕

政治非常正确

@hernest01 注意一下！台湾有酷儿联盟

此地无银三百两...以后mmorpg创角顺便加一下性向好了,尊重友善包容

常常就听老外不管对LGBT的哪一种，就直接骂damn queer我是觉得这个词汇的语境已经变得很负面了

现在最新版本叫LGBTQIA

现在讲这个炒作不起来啦 怎不等二创蓬勃一点再炒

昨天在看英雄的时候就觉得怎么盾的简介下面会出现男友。

应该要是黑人残障穆斯林女同性恋

干脆以后出角色先出战队 LGTBTQ 啊不对 这样也是歧视

删了

我只感觉满满的嘲讽味

什么时候可以出一个小时候被叔叔强暴，自我性别认同是男的，性向是同性恋的黑人女性再加个宗教信仰是犹太教好了

这有什么好鞭 搞不好人家设计师就爱这味啊肥宅可以萌百合 腐女可以萌bl 设计师不能萌LGBTQ喔

SJW

正确 OK

真的不用硬加这些设定啊...

只能说这些外国人吃饱没事给自己找麻烦

反正固定有4~5%的人是LGBTQ 都没有反而才奇怪只是你设定要不要明讲而已 啊讲了其实也没什么

越来越长了= = 不是反串ㄇ= =

who cares?

蛤 这很重要ㄇ 现在除了肤色连各种性向都有喔 LUL

先认清现实中本来就有一定比例的LGBTQ族群

既然觉得不重要 那你管设计师加这个设定干嘛？
