Hi all, I know you're all busy out in the aster fields for the picnic of the finest cheeses, biscuits and wine, riding ERA's ponies during this most beautiful day where the breeze flutters your hair as the sun causes it to glitter more dazzlingly then the most perfect of gems, the clear blue river glitters in your eyes which accentuates their perfect deep colour and the robins, starlings, blue tits and thrushes sing the most beautiful melody...

Wait where was I going with this? Oh right.

So I know you're all busy today but I have a question for you all, what characters from video games would you love nothing more than to be revealed or finally confirmed to be gay, a lesbian, bi, pan, trans, asexual, genderfluid, Non-Binary etc? I was originally going to make this thread solely about women characters (I've been in a big love mode, I'm in Love with the Villainess is great btw and big ups to Seaneko and Gacha Santa Alter for recommending Kindred Spirits on the Roof); but decided to open it up for the whole community.

For me Cammy would be a massive one for me and I've am well aware that isn't an uncommon want, in fact I know along with Zangief with men that has been an incredibly big want for so many lesbians and wlw for decades, dating back to all the way since at least the Alpha era days (along with her cat obsession which I'm amused Capcom did run with). It's helped that 4, 5 and 6 really seem to hint at it and I just would love her to have some happiness with Juni or whomever she ends up with, given all she's been through, she deserves that love. My biggest worry is that Capcom will always play coy with it not to upset a certain part of the fandom, but please make so many women happy Capcom, please?!?! Also while you're at it, make your LGBTQ+ Resident Evil fans happy and confirm Chris and Claire gay and lesbian, I know so many people who would love that (especially gay men happy about "The arm guy").

Also not an uncommon one, with Tekken, Asuka and Lili, pretty sure I don't really need to explain this one but that would be so amazing! The only thing I'd say though is have Asuka have a "win" over Lili before they admit their feelings, even if it's Lili secretly giving it to her, I think it would be sweet.

Princess Daisy, honestly their isn't anything that deep about that, I just think she'd be amazing as a lesbian or wlw rep for kids to look up to. I think it's important kids to have characters to look up to so they know they aren't weird, their feelings are perfectly normal and their are people who care and love them (aka why I think She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is an amazing cartoon as good as the 80s version I love to death).

And lastly for this OP, Pokémon... I can and have (to the annoyance of friends) forever about Pokémon characters I wish came out and could easily write a 5000 word essay so I'll just list them:
Red and Blue an offical couple (they pretty acted like that in the S/M games anyway)
Erika as a lesbian
Jasmine as a lesbian or bi/pan (especially after Masters hints of her having a crush on Erika)
Whitney as a lesbian (something I feel the games, especially Crystal hinted at)
Maxie and Archie as a former couple (something The Pokemon Company has also heavily implied before):
Steven and Wallace an official gay couple.
Gardenia as wlw (for no other reason because she's my favourite Gym Leader and I would love that)
Elesa and Skyla as an offical couple (something Masters has hinted at, has been heavily speculated and wanted for over a decade now and would make so many wlw fans happy)
N as officially Bi or Pan
Diantha as gay, bi or pan in reference to her visual inspiration.
Plumeria as wlw, mostly because I know a friend would love that.
Guzma and Kukui as exes (I didn't know this was a thing many fans wanted till just recently so lets make fans happy)
Gloria and Marnie to grow up to be a couple.
Sonia and Nessa as an offical couple would also make so many wlw happy
And similarly, Leon and Raihan would make so many mlm fans happy
Nemona as bi or pan
Penny confirmed as Trans
State it flat out that Hassel and Brassius are a couple
Rika as wlw would make so many wlw happy
Dendra and Tulip (already hinted in the game)
And I'm not where this came from but after seeing so much cute fan art of this pair, Raifort and Miriam:

Personally for me, the two biggies would be Skyla x Elesa and Nessa x Sonia, both would make adorable couples, have so much damn chemistry together (the former two especially, both in the main series and side media), would make so many fans happy and be so sweet!

P.S. Hope I haven't been annoying the past few week with all the weird threads and the wlw heavy content, it's been really helping me deal with the depression spell I've been having along with tons of romance and love works. wlw and lesbian of era, you are all amazing and never let anyone tell you otherwise (

:

At what point does moderation stop their obvious agenda?

I’m glad it seemingly helped with their depression at least but allowing this while immediately closing any threads that dare to talk about hot women is ridiculous.

As an aside; so fucking jealous because of the girl he used to be banging:

This girl would destroy my soul.


And that's before the sex.

I have to imagine this is the inner monologue for most of those retards.

If Bill Burr didn't have a boston accent he couldn't do what he does.

I just noticed one of her pupils is much bigger than the other. 



If I'm gonna half cum on a face it needs to be symmetrical.

[Taco Bell Tower]

seeing as how after spewing sexually hostile venom at a queer POC subordinate,

This how they repaid you, BDumbs.

Don’t be surprised if they start the rumor of “sexually harassing” Nepenthe.

They have the screenshots of B-Dumbs being a pedo, racist and transphobic in the past.  They have the weapon, they're scared to pull the trigger.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

B-dubs finally having his leopard face eating moment?

[ComeAgain]

Irish Ninja saying there is no community accountability because Nep cried like a bitch on Discord about finally getting scolded by someone higher in the food chain her extremist ass couldn’t just ban 

Where is the talk of accountability when Nep Nep bullies random members, gets her clique to join in and then bans the person for some BS reason, solely for daring to respond? These idiots keep it up, Bdubs should send some of the psychotic posts from Neppy to MOBA, say “fuck this I’m out and oh by the way, I’ve sent numerous Nep posts from the past to those in charge” and sit back and laugh at the chaos 

[benji]

While we're making fun of noodlesoup for being ignorant, I don't remember which thread it was in, but he said something about how this Gaza situation shows one of the "unexpected flaws" of how the UN Security Council is setup.

Yeah, like the permanent members and their vetoes weren't intentional from the start.  (Or how the veto allows members to vote knowing something will be vetoed.)

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

B-dubs should give the reins to Nepnep and walk away. Let the site burn. 

[books]

Will BDubs get taken out by the prominent members like Lennie in Of Mice and Men or Joe Pesci in Goodfella?.

Nah. It's gonna be way more unpleasant like the retard from the green mile

[Cauliflower Of Love]

let me see what i can do

[Snoopy]

The prominents can't do anything about Dubs. Unlike Lore he doesn't own the site. He's a janitor. The only thing Nep's minions can do is go start yet another splinter forum.

[HaughtyFrank]

Not much longer until the dig up B-Dubs n-word posts

[Averon]

B-Dumbs going scorched Earth for Nep after her Anti-Semitism came to light was dumb then, and it has only proven to be an even dumber move as time passes. B-Dumbs, if you're reading this (likely), this is how Nep and her minions repaid you. All you got was a backstabbing for all your efforts for protecting her

Again, B-Dumbs, you made the worse choice possible, as you always seemingly do.

[benji]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. B-Dubs has, as always, made the correct decisions on everything. This is yet again the effects of social media algorithms undermining his clear eyed sound leadership.

[Taco Bell Tower]

He has made correct decisions but the fear of losing his n-word privileges card always makes him take back on his decisions.

[Besticus Maximus]

Test the waters by banning booshka for dismissing concerns. Just do it. See what happens. You have to get this nipped in the bud before they start with the accusations and screenshots from discord.

Think about where this could go bdubs. These people will come for your job and your money. You've seen it a million times before.

You're this close to your own 4 hour youtube expose with a google document. I'm not even joking bro.

[Steven Snell]

Just let Kyuuji, Princess Bubblegum and co run it like they have already. But officially now.

[benji]

The funniest part of the PoliEra massacre wasn't that they did it, but that B-Dubs backed it as an excuse so Nepenthe didn't have to make a single post ever explaining herself. Even as nobody on there has ever cared that she says insane extreme things. 

[DocWager]

I’ve Goodle’d this, and everyone is correct, Dubs. You are fucked.

[books]

Sure hope Dubs saved any online video recordings or pricate discord messages of him and Nep getting freaky.

[negativecrepe]

what did bdumb say to nep

IrishNinja quoted the whole thing:

[Orange Juice Box]

what did bdumb say to nep

It must be something bad because Irish Ninja said this about it.

yeah, it's something to come at a queer POC with that sexually charged hostility, another thing entirely to do so publicly to a subordinate
fuck the TOS, that conduct would get you cut from any paying job

https://www.resetera.com/threads/biden-administration-no-longer-supporting-an-immediate-ceasefire-in-lebanon.1005735/page-10#post-130044888

It must be truly despicable.

Today I learned pretending to be a dog is a queer thing. Gays should be up in arms, but they don't wanna be banned by the Brazilian expert.

She did explain herself...in Community Constructive...sorta.

Huge non-apology post. The big one where she announces that she had chosen (lol) to no longer post about Israel/Palestine related topics going forward. 

What's hilarious about even that small concession is that this whole Royal Mod Rumble is because Nep is stealth-breaking her own "self-imposed" rule. Superficially, they're arguing about to vote or not to vote. But pretty obviously the subtext is Israel Palestine and whether there's a difference between genocide and genocide plus ultra.

It really genocides ya, when ya think about it.

While we're making fun of noodlesoup for being ignorant, I don't remember which thread it was in, but he said something about how this Gaza situation shows one of the "unexpected flaws" of how the UN Security Council is setup.

Yeah, like the permanent members and their vetoes weren't intentional from the start.  (Or how the veto allows members to vote knowing something will be vetoed.)

It was in the Israel/Palestine thread:

I'm doing all I can to help: donating to aid groups, educating myself about Palestine/international affairs/ecocide while at university, organizing with my local SJP chapter, protesting to the point where I was once arrested and spent some time in jail, and yet it feels like the needle hasn't shifted at all in terms of real, tangible action.

In a far better world, the UN would have stopped this horrific shit ages ago but diplomacy seems to be dead in the water thanks to a huge glaring oversight in the formation of the Security Council. Moreover, I know it's a neutral forum and all but it's maddening to watch various member states at the General Assembly — the very same states that preach about the importance of international cooperation and peace — willingly choose to be apathetic in the face of genocide or hostile to those who dare to criticize Israel's actions. On the other hand, you can't rely on electoralism here in the United States to change anything. It has become abundantly clear that the US and its cronies have very little interest in holding Israel accountable or bringing justice to Palestinians and those around them who have also suffered. Fuck this shit, man. I've never been so disappointed and angry in my life.
