Do we really care so much? Why should we care about so much (or discuss) anyone's sexual preferences? This kindof reminds me of a very distant acquaintance who came to my house a year ago, and i had a friend with me too. Then that acquinte somewhat suddenly - out of nowhere - said "I'm gay". I fought very hard with myself at that momment to not reply: "who gives a fuck?", but then i realised that there are people who wear it on their sleeve as if it's a lifestyle choice and that's just wrong. That said, she probably is BUT i wouldnt necessarily judge a book by its cover. Your evidence are anemic.

Anyway, okay lets have a discussion of the wider topic at hand... (!)

I found it interesting that they filtered out the difficult questions in the blizzcon overwatch q&a and then several people asked for more lgbt representation. According to the stats we have a minority, only: ~1 in 20 is lgbt, this means that they're NOT underrepresented. Yes, only tracer out of a cast of ~20 heroes is what it would look like in the real world. BUT the interesting bit is that everyone who's not detached with reality should understand that the American entertainment industry (and in general their governments) aka the U.S. status quo isnt against lgbt rights. Not only they're not against them but they'd prefer questions about them (focus on them) rather than other things. In the case of the Overwatch q&a those other things are everything that makes the competitive experience suck. In the case of the U.S. it would have to be about fighting for worker rights, wellfare system etc.
