Really interesting and cool article which I highly recommend reading in full, about various devs retelling their favourite experiences while working on Destiny, but I do want to highlight one in particular:

Honorable mention to the lore tabs I wrote for Sparrow racers Marcus Ren and Enoch Bast; a queer fan in the deep South emailed me about how they were moved to tears by seeing same-gender relationships in the lore. -Grant K. Roberts

Like, we all knew this. It was absolutely undeniable that Marcus and Enoch were meant to be viewed as a couple. There was literally zero doubt in my mind about it ever since I read it for the first time back in year 1.

But there's really something about being told from the author himself that this was the intended read. Especially in the world of people often denying obvious queerness just because specific labels aren't used in an over the top way where characters just say their sexualities in a way that feels unnatural and weird. I always appreciated the way Destiny did this because it forced you to take the text at face value in the same way you would have to do it for any heterosexual couple. Nobody ever expects a character to say "I am heterosexual," they just accept obvious tells in the text, but for whatever reason queer characters are never afforded the same.

Except in Destiny, which always integrated things like that so neatly into the text. And seeing people ignoring it or denying it because a character didn't show up to say "I am gay" was always frustrating, but I prefer it this way and I am so glad that writers never backed down, and instead just introduced queer characters into the story with dignity and respect that any character deserves.

And every single time anyone suspected or asked if some character is queer, the writers would just go "well yeah, that's how we wrote them, you read it correctly." And it makes the world of Destiny so much more rich with queer characters because of it. Because this is just one extra proof that whenever we suspected it, we were correct. We were always correct because queerness was always intended and written into the setting.

There's a couple of other devs that talk about this in the article, including the writer that suggested Devrim to have a husband, and a Destiny historian who pushed for Micah-10 to be in the game (with honorable mention of Robert Brookes who helped make this possible).

#destiny 2 #marcus #enoch #the way this just completely sent me into shambles but positive #like i really truly love how queer characters are presented in destiny but there's always something about how society treats media like tha #and how we need to bend over backwards and go through a million hoops for people to believe that a character written as queer is queer #and how much 'proof' we need to present before it's understood #and with destiny to me it was always just super obvious #but there was always that little thing of. 'but it's a AAA shooter would they really do this'#and the answer is yes. they have been doing it since the start #and they never went in the direction of making a huge fuss or drama about it. queer characters are just allowed to exist #and if people don't get it that's their own fault #the whole thing of 'if this was a man and a woman no one would've ever had any other interpretation'#anyway happy pride to marcus ren and enoch bast specifically. they even get srl back

For Pride Month, can you have Wirt be not ashamed of his/her transformation, regardless of the negative aspects of it.

(Trans Wirt is a good hc)

Wirt being happy about the horrors YAY
