Are you going to even read my posts? I linked the definition of bigoted to you already, but maybe you missed it. Bigotry: Noun: obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices.
Just read the definition and read the part in bold you wrote to me. I should also note that I did not say anything about treating people like shit. I said it's a valid idea to have. It exists in literally everyone. We can make laws around actions, but we aren't getting into the thought police which means freedom of speech and expression is not up for debate.

Why am i constantly emphasizing terms previously used by the person im responding to? Clarity.

That example doesnt prove anything. To support your argument, you should have used an example where you didn't think you would enjoy something, but then you tried it and did enjoy it. If anything, you countered your own argument.
I do, they make no sense, they are contradictory from start to finish.
actually explain how I'm bigoted. do it, I dare you.
what have I said or done beyond asking you valid questions? I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you, you have all the time and resources to make an actual point.

or is this so stupid that it really boils down to me disagreeing with you, on anything, makes me a bigot? towards you?
Au contrair, I went into something unsure what to expect and came out disappointed. The exact opposite experience I had with eating yams, for example. It could be that if it were better performed I'd have come out with a better impression, like how the yams were well made. But when it comes to things you'd otherwise never even think of you have to be exposed to them in the first place. The autist, given a different outlet, could very much develop a different paraphilia, but if he's sold on transsexuality he's more likely to pick it up than a non-autist. Same with teenage girls with ROGD. Ten years ago they'd be bi-curious, twenty years ago they'd be goths.

Barring all the insane chatter in this thread. Yeah it looks very much like an AI/Machine Learning tool to cover their bias on character creation. Also people are getting angry at Overwatch even though it has a pretty diverse cast of characters for a AAA title compared to most. Weird thing to get angry at. I do get the sentiment that these characters are being distilled to pokemonesque traits and can probably be randomly generated and/or curated in the future.

So you said: "you're arguing that X is a valid stance to have. I don't accept that, no one should."
The definition is: obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices.
You are saying that you are (and everyone else should be) intolerant of the belief you think that I have based on your own opinion. Which means that you have a stubborn/obstinate devotion/dedication to your own belief. This is why I am saying that bigotry is common, it's in everyone. It's always been in everyone, this is why writers like the infamous Ibram X. Kendi says things like "The only cure to future racism is current racism". You must be intolerant of the intolerant even though that also makes you intolerant. It's really nothing deep, it's just common fucking sense that you need to be intolerant of some things.
I think what you mean to say is that you don't like certain flavors of bigotry, but trying to get rid of it altogether is worthless platitudes to make you sound good.
Ah yes, because fantasy world needs to be exactly like the one we live in... And in this fantasy world you have to be the same person you are in our one. So boring. So stupid.
I don't like Overwatch to begin with, so I don't really know the lore. I'm sure Tracer being gay has nothing to do with the gameplay or whatever little story there is in that style of game. Her being labeled as a lesbian is just to add another tag for marketing, if I were a lesbian I would be offended. I mean did they go through and make sure to call out the sexual orientation of every character? Why call just that one out? Why call any of them out to begin with? It's a fucking shooter, no one cares except the fanfic creepers, the very few rad fems that play bliz games and the x rated artists that would draw her as a lesbian anyway.

Jesus fucking Christ, of course it's "you being against bigotry in fact makes YOU the bigot!"
I really should stop giving posters on this forum the benefit of the doubt that their opinions aren't the same canned bigotry you find elsewhere.
you think, and you thought wrong. me having this thing called a moral compass doesn't exist to please random people such as yourself.I think what you mean to say is that you don't like certain flavors of bigotry

A logical next step would be to integrate this tool during a players character creation
im not denying that their reason for mentioning their sexuality isnt to score social points,companies arent people,they would be pro slavery if the political climate was favorable to it
the thing i have an issue with is people are ofended by their sheer existance no matter what,if there is a gay person in ANY show,at ANY time...for ANY reason,you lot go berserk
It's not my fault that the definition of words isn't some fluid thing that means exactly what you want it to mean. This is why we all have to learn to speak fucking English, and not adapt English to fit our own internal lexicon. Saying all bigotry is bad is factually wrong and a worthless platitude. Saying a certain type of bigotry is bad actually makes sense. If you can learn to properly explain your thoughts in proper English than maybe you can start to have productive conversations where you aren't speaking actual nonsense and you can learn to understand what other people are writing.
That's a rather hurtful assumption there. I personally don't have any problem with natural diversity in a show. But right now it's pretty much forced into all shows like a mandatory formula. It's so blatantly obvious that it just ruins the immersion because it brings politics into entertainment.
