A word from our creative producer:
Hey friends,
Friendly neighbourhood creative here again.
First off, HAPPY PRIDE!!!
This year we wanted to give pride a bit of a different spin and we were inspired by Pantone’s colour of the year “Living Coral”.
We went for coral reef pride realness, with a focus on some of the least represented and most marginalized LGBTQ+ identities.
We’re not sure if this is a first for video games, but in no particular order, this year’s avatars feature: an intesex woman, a trans man with visible top surgery scars, a demi girl, a trans femme, a genderfluid enby and an agender person!
We’ve also brought back last year’s avatars with a slight tweak so there’s a greater range of representation available.
If you got last year’s everyone knows you’re the 2018 Pride OG, but this also makes it possible for new folks to access representation they might not have otherwise. And we feel for pride in particular, having so many different intersectional experiences, this is extra important. Representation matters.
Also a note on this year’s pride flag gifts!
As labels and discourse and terminology change and refine, so do the flags! Because there is both the spectrum of sexual attraction + romantic attraction, we opted to shorten the labels in order to be more inclusive and provide the widest range of content possible.
For example, instead of saying Bisexual, we’re just leaving it as Bi, so that could be inclusive of Biromantics as well.
We also opted to remove some flags, like transsexual, as when we consulted others in the trans* community we found this was considered outdated and generally used in harmful ways. Everyone might not agree, but ultimately we have to make a call and we do so by trying to ensure whatever representation we do is accurate, not harmful and positive.
Anyways, the TLDR is that we’re super excited about this year’s PRIDE content, our artists did an amazing job and we gave this year’s stuff a lot of thought and consultation to make sure we’re doing our best. As always, we’re growing and learning, so if something could be better or you’re really loving it, we do want to hear from you in the forums!
Happy pride friends,
You’re all valid as heck <3
