No LGBTQ+ representation in remaster?
I thought that Valve has learned from their past mistakes by not adding inclusive chracters (Dota 2, CS2) Lets bump this post to the moon, so Valve finally realises that we are living in 2024 and everyone wants to see inclusivity in games.

To Valve.
PS… dear all Steam users…

*Update*
Thanks to everyone supporting and reaching 400 comments, this has exceeded mine and everyone elses expectations, I’m really glad to hear the huge positive and some not so good feedback, but still it really helps by bumping up the post and showing your support.

I am really glad to see that at first some people were against it but later as time went on and had a great discussion about it they changed their minds, this is truly a movement.

Please don’t be an a-hole and just come here to curse/ call names to other people, we need to spread positivity and support.
Let this be a safe and friendly space who just want to hang around and have a chat!


P.S
Hollow… (they/them)
Thanks again 🏳️‍🌈🥰

I’m really shocked they have released a new version of the game but didn’t think about what the community have been asking for a long time, this is a new generation of gamers and they want to be represented in video games (genders, races and pronouns)

We have to step up and show Valve that they have not made the community happy and feel accepted.

Please Valve, do better.

Obvious bait... Listen, if you need LGBTQ+ representations, just check out the steam workshop for some.

Have ever played HL 2? Where do you think an LGBTQ+ character would fit in to the game without a total rewrite? If it will make you happy just imagine Barney is gay or trans

don't project your feelings and stop pulling the logical fallacy cards before you embarass yourself.

The issue, is that the LGBT community doesn't actually provide real arguments as to why said representation must be done, when the games' story and lore has been binary-monogamous for literally two decades.

there's a lot of red flags here that show that you're clearly trying to bait people. And not have a real discussion (because this is not how IRL discussions take place).

More over, your HL2 review is a straight anti-thesis to what you propose here.

please do not give Jesters to this person. Report and move on.
