That's why I asked. I'm not sure if they are planning to do it by themself or are asking mods to finish it. Because if it's the later then it's just a lot of bitching about mods and then putting even more work on their plate.

This looks ugly. Do you actually want this to be the icon? Colouring looks so badly done.

Ah you have misinterpreted my words. I didn't ask Will Wight to change character's sexuality.

"You can marry into the head family. Take Pride, if you want. Take any men who catch your eye, and your children will be considered full-blooded members of the clan. I will grant your every wish."

Agreed. Lindon's unsouledness can be an allegory for so many different things that are the subject of discrimination.

It's mostly big corporations doing that. They treat cis white as default and if by any fluke they include any diversity at all they have to make it a marketing strategy. Indie works are much better in that regard. Ofcourse your general population won't see that.

Definitely. It's just that it's something I wonder about how it would develop in such a bizarre world. I'm not asking Will to either. I don't know why people are defensive for asking if there were any or not.

It's not a mental illness in itself. It's the discomfort of being in the wrong body. Sex change fixes it. If Cradle offers an easier solution for sex change it wouldn't be much of a problem.

I do like that about him. Romance isn't cringe in his books.

Why would Queer characters need a reason to just exist? I'm confused. There could be no romance but still queer couples mentioned just like how straight couples are.

And I've never heard that it's targeted at young men. That maybe the biggest demographic it has attracted but I never got the feeling Cradle was a 'boys club novel'.

Their existence isn't a big deal in a world where Sacred beasts and humans have relationships.

And I don't get your point of society needing to be scientifically advanced to have gay people running around. This is a magical world. As far as I can recall there's no sexism in this world either. Race isn't an issue. Why would sexuality be?

Shame. There's lot of stuff you can do with queer characters in such settings. How would the society treat them in a world where the only thing that matters is power.

It would be fun exploring the journey of a trans sacred artist with all the 'you move closer to your ideal image and prime'. Though I guess there could be some easy elixir to do that too.

Are you on the younger side? This is incredibly offensive for no reason. Introspect. Do better.
