I should also mention said character is basically just Freddie Mercury.

Yeah bro you need to lock that shit down.

Fuck the Police

I don't know, I mean sure games like UMVC3 can be firework displays with so much shit on screen that you can't tell what's going on unless you know the game, but other Street Fighter and Tekken and other, more simple ones are fairly simple: Person on one side tries to attack the other and do more damage. You can see…

It's definitely both. A well-written character is a well-written character, but I think that well-written characters are much more likely to occur when we have more queer (or whatever representation) writers and staff on team.

Yeah, like I said, it depends on the relationships of everyone. And if say I unexpectedly see an ex I left on good relations with but hadn't seen in a while at a cafe, I might have a coffee with them and chat. And then later on I'd probably tell the SO (just like the letter writer did do). Or maybe not if it was just…

Well good, I wouldn't want to have an SO that would get upset over something they never mentioned would upset them.

Yeah, what I'm trying to get at is the "I had no idea you would get upset" does go both ways. Assuming that something is a negative issue to a relationship "because of course" is no good way to have a relationship. Boundaries and rules and limits should be set up and discussed, not suddenly thrust upon because of an…

It's not a "secret" it's just such a nonissue that it doesn't need to be brought up.

Sure, if my partner brings it up with me that it is something they know would bother them, I'd let them know.

You're attributing the deliberateness to the situation.
To me, it's just an everyday situation that doesn't need to be specifically addressed, that could easily slip the mind because it's inherently unimportant.

Well it obviously depends on the prior and current relationship, but to me, yeah an ex is just anyone. That yes, you've had a relationship with in the past, but so what, it doesn't change the current relationship.

Is the problem that they're seeing their ex? Apparently not, you said so yourself.
Is the problem that they're seeing someone without telling their SO? I don't see the problem with seeing a friend for lunch and not telling your SO.

This reminded me of the hubbub about the new gay male character in Dragon Age: Inquisition. He's flamboyant and wears eye liner and all that and a lot of people complaining about him being stereotypical (including a lot of gay gamers).

Okay, kids, you're right. But having kids is not incompatible with being non-vanilla.

I don't understand the issue of having lunch with an ex and not telling your SO. It's not my business what my SOs do every hour of every day. If that includes *gasp* eating sandwiches and french fries with someone they had sex with before, so the fuck what?

Where does it say she wants to go vanilla or have the picket fence or kids or anything?

Well I imagine being able to back over both at the same time would require lots of planning and a ne'er-do-well moustache

I'm not reading too much into it, you're just reading what you want to read out of it.
