Just something I have noticed and would like to start a discussion on. I was showing this site to one of my friends the other day and she started pointing out how only males are in positions of power on this website, as well as, constantly shooting down female voices such as mine any time I try to bring up an idea or something. I started to wonder why that is, and with disney now making a push towards a more feminist friendly star wars, don't you think this website should do the same? I also notice an extreme lack of Lgbqt characters represented here. My character is bi, buy I'm pretty sure she's the only one on the entire site! What do you think can do done to change this?

You’re almost entirely wrong. Sreeya is a female, for instance. So is Dread, and GABA.

We also have a history of female staff but a few are no longe here. Adena and Bee come to mind.

And there are plenty of LGBTQ+ characters. Mine, @Faster Than Light, @Kuroshi, many others have characters that aren’t straight.

I think you must be talking about a different site entirely because you are objectively wrong on so many levels I can't even choose where to begin.

First of all, I'm at the very top here. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm a woman AND, guess what, a racial minority! Second, we're probably the most accepting community I've ever frequented in terms of LGBT. If you don't believe me, I'll wait for others to pitch in here. Third, people generally don't go out of their way to list out their orientation on profiles. But there are plenty of chars that pursue relationships with the same gender and whatnot. Hell, my Sith pureblood is bi, but I'm not making a huge point of advertising it on her profile because that's never been a relevant field. There are several gay characters running around, and we've had more than a few transgender.

I think you're extremely mistaken in your judgement here and have made some gross assumptions. I have a feeling you didn't feel heard about something and extrapolated it to the whole site, which is not the correct way going about it. If your idea is being shot down, take the time to analyze why it's being shot down. Tons of people go through the same because it doesn't fit within the rules or some other reason. Trust me when I say that your gender has nothing to do with it. :P

If you look more closely at the site, you can see that there is a lot of representation on the site. One of the most powerful PCs is Andraste, a kickass woman. There are multiple bisexual, homosexual, demisexual, and even asexual characters. Not all advertise their sexualities explicitly on the site, and that is how it generally should be; one's sexuality is an aspect of their character, not their defining characteristic. While I'm sorry you've not seen such representation yet, I'm sure the more you involve yourself with more people you'll see that there is a diversity on this site.

Speaking of Furries, I am proudly a wolf, and a gay one as well :3 All my characters are either gay or bi as well, some actively pursuing relationships as we speak but not out and out about it. My male robot even had relations with Nefie's character Cregan, I actually thought that thread was pretty cute. I came here from another site just because of how inclusive the community is here, it's one of the safest I've seen and I want to do my part to help keep it that way for others that might stop by :3

Feel like it barely needs to be said considering what's come before but I'm nothing if not a guy who likes to help drive a point home.

Me as a player;
  • Bi
Me as Cregan;
  • Bi
  • Robbo sex was had
  • In a harem/multiple man marriage with a single woman
Me as Numenius;
  • Gay
  • Prominent politician

Admittedly none of my characters are women but I don't think that this site is anywhere near as close to being a problem as you might think :)

I'm actually very happy to say I've been proven wrong. I've always liked this site and didn't want to believe there was any sexism or homophobia going on, and I'm glad there isn't:)
