FPS franchises tend to get a rather...volatile reaction to LGBT themes from fans, even out of games like Overwatch. It's always nice when the effort is made, though.

Playstation recently shared their Pride Month theme on Facebook, looking at the comments was one of the worst decisions ever. Im sure the comments on this video are about the same.
The replies on Twitter were complaining about Sony forcing progressiveness down their throats.

By making an optional theme you can just not download.

I'm hesitant to say if expanded universe book stuff counts, where that's on some other writer who has a lot of wiggle room as long as they get the important plot points covered. It's definitely not on the same level as having a proper gay/trans character in the actual games, something I want to say probably won't happen, but Gears at least seems to be drifting away from the late oughties macho tone, so I dunno.

The like dislike ratio is sad, but expected considering of video game communities the FPS community has one of the highest number of shit heads.

I would say the entire canon counts towards this.

Even if they were forcing it on everyone, how is that a bad thing? "I'm a bigot and I prefer to stay that way!" It's not the 1950s anymore. Oh well, fuck them.
