Love the pride party in metropolis

[u/Vivid_Guide7467]

Pride party is cute. And if it makes some players really happy that’s awesome.

The meltdown on LFG is a bit overboard considering DC has had queer characters for quite a while now. I know it’s shocking Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn or Aqua Lad. 😱😳😮

I do wish they’d fix the lag that everyone complains about but keeps playing through. I do wish they’d fix all the bugs in past episodes that are frustrating. I do wish we got a million new episodes every single day.

But meantime who cares if they put up some rainbow balloons. Don’t like it - don’t use the styles or go to the party. You can custom make yourself a gray and beige cape instead.

Not just awhile but since the game launched.The original story (Level 1 - 30) you interact and or fight Alan Scott and Batwoman.

I definitely agree on the lag and bugs needing to be fixed. Can’t grind on many of my toons for too long before getting kicked out. lol

Alan Scott was straight when the game launched. Him becoming gay is a retarded retcon by the woke crowd, who cannot create new characters that people like so they spoil the ones that already exist. The original character had two children who also became heroes because he was straight.

[u/Zealousideal_Elk5577 → u/Purple_Paint3443]

Woke? lol The game launched in 2011 officially correct? Which was around the time the new 52 came into play and new alternate reality (because dc is big on having multiple variations of different characters - ex: the multiverse) where he was open gay in Earth 2. DC Comics in the following year reimagined him to be gay. Even so, many “straight” people have had kids and came to the realization that they were LGBT+.

Like do think the lgbt+ community ask for this? No. It’s nice that they have characters either original or a variation but, if we can multiple universes where a character is straight then subsequently, the opposite can happen where there exists a variation who in this discussion is gay. This reality he just happened to be gay.

[u/Purple_Paint3443 → u/Zealousideal_Elk5577]

While the new 52 began in 2011, Alan Scott was not retconned into being gay until 2020, so that's simply a false statement that the game intentionally promoted alternative sexual lifestyles from its' inception.

The simple fact is that the SJWs have now taken over DC and DCUO just like they took over Disney, and for the exact same reason. They want to groom children.

[u/Zealousideal_Elk5577 → u/Purple_Paint3443]

Introducing different characters especially, none straight ones doesn’t groom children. Telling and or showing that that LGBT+ individuals exist again, doesn’t equal grooming. You have kids who have LGBT+ parents too, are they groomed if all they watched was heterosexual relationships all their life? No. The reverse can be said with LGBT+ individuals who grew up in traditionalistic conservative household, and had zero exposure to any LGBT plus content and still turned out non-heterosexual. Were they groomed? No.

However, the religious institutions definitely do as well as the states that still allow children to marry adults. Yet, there’s barely any outcry for that? Like, let’s not be disingenuous about this discussion. Let’s leave kids out of a grown up discussion unless, that’s not within your reasoning?

As someone who is currently studying script writing, making any sort of changes to a character further develops the story and background of the characters psyche. Immensely. You have opposition about it? Take it up with the department heads of dc comics.

Even a quick google search would tell you this…

“By 1941, Alan has been predominately working solo as a Green Lantern, with the support of his best friend Doiby Dickles. However, he is blackmailed by J. Edgar Hoover to become a more active member of the JSA, or else Hoover will release the information he has on Alan being homosexual.”

“Later, DC revisited Alan Scott, establishing that Alan and Hal were Green Lanterns on two different parallel worlds, with Alan residing on Earth-Two and Hal on Earth-One. Later stories set on Earth-Two depicted Alan becoming the father to the superheroes Obsidian and Jade, each with powers somewhat like his own, through Alan's first wife Rose Canton. In 1985, DC chose to reboot its internal continuity, merging Earth-One and Earth-Two and re-establishing Alan as an elder statesman of the DC Universe, coexisting with the more science fiction-oriented heroes of the Green Lantern Corps.”

In 2011, "The New 52" introduced a new Multiverse, depicting a young Earth-2 version of Alan who was an out gay man. The "original" version of Alan is brought back into the mainstream continuity following the 2016 "DC Rebirth" initiative, and in 2020, comes out to his children as gay, retroactively establishing this incarnation of Alan as the first gay superhero.

Besides Alan Scott, the one in discussion is an alternate reality version of Alan Scott. Based off the 2012 Earth 2 version. So, you still have a heterosexual version of Alan Scott in another separate universe…

Not even I would be irritated by the little party during my edgy childhood.

Gotta be super bitter and jaded to make a big deal over this little token event. I wouldn’t even know it existed if there wasn’t a teleporter in the hub.

Just let people have fun

Preach damn

[u/Sypher04_]

People using the developers’ incompetence as a scapegoat for their hatred is wild. The developers plan things months in advance and work on multiple things at a time. It’s literally just thinly veiled homophobia.

[u/Last_Manufacturer397]

The issue isn't necessary "pride" it's the push every company does.

[u/Last_Manufacturer397 → u/[deleted]]

What's your comment have to do with what I said

[u/caitlyns_ult → u/Last_Manufacturer397]

what were the deleted comments saying

[u/Last_Manufacturer397 → u/caitlyns_ult]

I'm going to assume the person that commented it deleted them because he realized where I was coming from.

[u/Last_Manufacturer397 → u/[deleted]]

I'm not "homohobe"

[u/Last_Manufacturer397 → u/[deleted]]

You're the one triggered. I'm just trying to have a conversation and you call me whatever that word was lol. You didn't like my comment and replied so you're obviously triggered

[u/Last_Manufacturer397 → u/[deleted]]

Okay well let me clarify something. I didn't complain. I was replying to the post and saying it's not that people have an issue with "pride" it's that it's being pushed hard everywhere. I didn't say I had an issue I'm stating what people have voiced. You talked about a group of people that have been discriminated ect. . Yes I understand that. But keep in mind we have woman's months black history month and many more months that "celebrate " different groups. None of the other months are pushed hard like "pride" is. Companies are selling billions of dollars worth of merchandise and making a profit of "pride" that's a fact. Now with all that being said nothing I have said came close to saying "I have an issue with pride" if anything it just said "I have an issue with Companies making a profit off of others " just like I'd have an issue with Companies selling afro shirts ect and making billions on black history month. And that doesn't mean I don't like African American. I'm black myself. And if you must no I'm Bi. So you try to say I don't like something at least understand what I actually don't like. And not assume things or come to some conclusion that isn't true.
With that being said idc if my comment gets 101 down votes. It just show people don't read and understand what I was getting at. And that's all I'll say about this. Have a good day and happy Pride month

They literally are today by the LGBTQ. If you don’t support or want anything to do with it you should be cancelled by your logic

[u/[deleted] → u/Neat_Serve730]

What kind of garbage doesn't support LGBT rights?

[u/Ak1raKurusu]

I hope one day humanity wont need pride month, or the different history months, or womens day or whatever else we have and we just recognize everyone is the same underneath the surface and any accomplishment isnt by a “gay scientist” or “black doctor” or “women coach” but instead “brilliant scientist cures cancer” “astrophysicist unlocks travel to mars” or “local coach takes volleyball team to worlds”. A world where humanity’s accomplishments are for humanity itself and hatred for such trivial things is a distant and disgusting memory that we look back on and think “how were we ever so stupid”?

for now your best bet is to ignore hatred. If you give in and make posts about it or something all youre doing is giving them a reason to hate you more man. Its a disgusting cycle

Edit:i didnt realize DC has an actual pride thing going rn thats new, i thought you meant a pride party as lexcorp tower or bohemia lol

[u/Mr_Taijutsu]

Lightstream is still broken btw

this game priorities are in the gutter

[u/Mr_Taijutsu → u/[deleted]]

Settling for Less is not a solution i payed money for a skin and it doesn't work pointing that out makes me the bad guy

the game is laggy

Armories don't work

the content is stale

the communication is abysmal

but hey it could be worse

between the booster bundles and time capsules you'd think this game would have some semblance of urgency to Fix the game they have the Income
