Lythi was not alone.
Ive not felt unsafe, saidMiabyte, a transgender Twitch Ambassador from the UK.
ReadySetBen, Twitch Ambassador and member of Black Twitch UK had a slightly different story to tell.
[Initially], I was pretending not to be queer, said the genderqueer streamer.
And then you realize that there are other people out there like myself.
I think most of the people I know inFinal Fantasynow, the majority… are queer.
Final Fantasy [14]as a game - its the queerest thing Ive ever seen, interjected Mia.
I think its a learning curve, they remarked.
[The game] has slowly but surely gotten better in terms of representation.
I thinkFinal Fantasy 16really helped with that a lot with the character of Dion, added Josephyr.
I dont think that was queerbaiting, concluded Josephyr, it was a very faithful representation.
After all,Final Fantasyis developed in a country where same-gender marriage remains illegalto this day.
It would definitely be nice to see things confirmed.
Theres a bit more work to do, agreed Ben.
But, you’re able to tell that theyre listening, which is more important.
Even if it trickles down slowly, somethings still happening in the background.
Were seeing a lot more representation now because of community output.
If you want to meet queer people, come to Fan Fest, quipped Mia.
We just started chatting about stuff - it was absolutely fantastic.
