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。
還有另一位Bloodhound說是非二元性向的角色。
然後還有提到本作十分的政治正確......(下略)
順路提一下，LGBT大家都知道是女同性戀者（Lesbian）、男同性戀者（Gay）、雙性戀者
（Bisexual）與跨性別者（Transgender），再加上Q是指 酷兒 (Queer) 和性別認同疑
惑者 (Questioning)。
美國鄉民對這消息的反應大都是：「哦！這很重要嗎？」
業界自清持續中......

怎麼現在多個Q了

？？？

有種出一個跨性別黑人甲甲幕斯林啦

笑死 以後要不要多個H叫直升機性向

吸收同性戀市場

太政治正確了吧 可是SJW又不會玩

EA 484以為這樣平權團體就不會找麻煩？太天真惹

自首無罪 怕

有沒有無所謂的設定，但還是要先表態一下，以免事後被靠北

很重要嗎

Queer其實幾乎是LGBT的等意 是LBGT為了避免傳統用語

這稱呼越來越長了...

很重要阿 看看OW 你現在不說 之後再說會被嘴跪舔

的歧視而使用的新字眼...總之最後變成LGBTQ

有這種設定要趕快公布才行

可是這樣只是多一個字母被歧視而已吧？

另外還有個詞叫queer radicalism 酷兒激進主義

不先說明白會讓某些人崩潰哭吃書啊

總之..你不會想惹queer radicalism的

沒辦法有人會找麻煩只好先自清，無奈

可是現在queer變成用來罵全體lgbt的話惹~這樣有卡好？

還以為是Mirage 可以自攻自受

好 反正我不玩了 嘔嘔嘔

政治非常正確

@hernest01 注意一下！台灣有酷兒聯盟

此地無銀三百兩...以後mmorpg創角順便加一下性向好了,尊重友善包容

常常就聽老外不管對LGBT的哪一種，就直接罵damn queer我是覺得這個詞彙的語境已經變得很負面了

現在最新版本叫LGBTQIA

現在講這個炒作不起來啦 怎不等二創蓬勃一點再炒

昨天在看英雄的時候就覺得怎麼盾的簡介下面會出現男友。

應該要是黑人殘障穆斯林女同性戀

乾脆以後出角色先出戰隊 LGTBTQ 啊不對 這樣也是歧視

刪了

我只感覺滿滿的嘲諷味

什麼時候可以出一個小時候被叔叔強暴，自我性別認同是男的，性向是同性戀的黑人女性再加個宗教信仰是猶太教好了

這有什麼好鞭 搞不好人家設計師就愛這味啊肥宅可以萌百合 腐女可以萌bl 設計師不能萌LGBTQ喔

SJW

正確 OK

真的不用硬加這些設定啊...

只能說這些外國人吃飽沒事給自己找麻煩

反正固定有4~5%的人是LGBTQ 都沒有反而才奇怪只是你設定要不要明講而已 啊講了其實也沒什麼

越來越長了= = 不是反串ㄇ= =

who cares?

蛤 這很重要ㄇ 現在除了膚色連各種性向都有喔 LUL

先認清現實中本來就有一定比例的LGBTQ族群

既然覺得不重要 那你管設計師加這個設定幹嘛？
