Just attaching another pair of flyers you can use to spread the word about #Arkh. For more information, please see this post!
In addition, you’ll note some of the wording was changed to be more clear as to what Arkh is, namely, a project featuring queer people and PoC, by queer people and PoC, that anyone will be able to understand and play. People who aren’t either queer, PoC, or both are highly encouraged to watch and play.

Well look at that.
Tumblr doesn’t realize that there are tons of games where you play as colored people, gays, and so on.
Hell, in Skyrim, Fable series, Oblivion, Dragon Age II… So many more.
I mean seriously, you are NOT being overlooked. They just want to appeal to more people and making games about a gay person about being gay would not attract many sales at all, it would also most likely destroy a company. THAT is why you are not given the exacts of what you want.
Here is a list of games with homosexual characters and playable adventures where you CAN be LGBTQ.

I am not trying to be mean, I am not being anti-anything. I just want the people of Tumblr to stop thinking everyone is after them or withholding material because of a certain lifestyle.

wow if i knew all i had to do to get donations for my projects was to say IT HAS BLACK PEOPLE AND GAYS then i would have posted my design notes months ago
then again i havent done any work on it in weeks so i should probably shut up haha

That’s a cool list, but, er, how long would the list of straight/cis characters in video games be? And how many of those characters listed are actually treated like characters (or are playable!) instead of jokes? That list has fucking Birdo on it. Do you really think we should shut up because there’s our great representation of a trans character?

Yes how uppity of me for thinking this game is a nifty idea, I should just hush up and settle for what there is now! Talim in Soul Calibur is Filipino, so clearly that should take care of any desire of mine for ethnicity in a video game (because screw those other guys, I got mine), and lesbians… pah, I’m sure there’s plenty of those too, games gotta have eye candy for the real audience!
But hey how else are you gonna get money from these gullible morons, right? Slap some some of that “social justice” bullshit on there about how the game’s being made by these sillies who dare to want games to treat them like characters that aren’t the sideshow they so clearly are and they’ll just fork over the money!
