I don't know how many times others and myself need to make this exact point before people fucking get it. FFS Fallout 2 had a gay marriage. KOTR had a gay character. Both are beloved codex games.
This is not about LGBT hate. It's specifically about the attitude of that one writer and her own opinions about "fixing" the BG series. As if it needed fixing. The BG series is frozen in time, along with other things such as music, art, and books. Leave them the fuck alone. If you want to fight sexism, or whatever other stupid thought is in your head, then I say go for it. Create a new game with all your politicla views. It might even be good.
But to wave your politics in my face so blatantly and shallowly in a series that is basically done evolving is just asking for me to punch you in the face.
LGBT characters can be totally interesting and cool. But am I comfortable with an NPC that basically says, "Ok, here's are your wares. By the way I was born a man but now I'm a woman. Have a nice day!"? No, I'm not.
Stop tying to convince me that the world is so full of trannies in 2016, that it is common place for people to talk about their gender preference so openly. Also, stop trying to convince me that the world of BG is the same.
It's not.
