Bullshit. Normalization means not making a big deal out of it, which goes contrary to the woke standard of putting it front and center.
But like you say, if you want to normalize it, shouldn't it be front and center then? Since that's part of being normal, also being front and center?
It cannot be front and center and normal at the same time. It cannot be the main part of a character's identity, else it will always be perceived as "special" and "extra", but not "normal". Devs can make whatever game with whatever chars they want ofc, but the result is what we're seeing with ubisoft.
I'm just ranting at this point.
Why not? If it's normal, any possible identity and any possible element will be front and center every so often, no? That's what normality means after all? Something has to be front and center, and if everything is normal, everything will appear there repeatedly?
You'll get nowhere with these people and their epic Olympic level mental gymnastics. Ultimately, only heterosexual white male characters are allowed to play prominent roles in video games.
I'm not saying that lgbtq characters cannot play prominent roles, I'm saying that people will roll their eyes if being lgbtq is their primary attribute.
