Totally not completely cursed, and those example sentences absolutely didn't make me regret being literate.

Memes, the DNA of the soul.

"Furry" you say? Wait, do I need to have a drum set to make that joke better? Because it doesn't quite land right, unlike that cat.

Or just your own tail, like a fluffy pillow, but anywhere.

Yep, that actual chance at learning something instead of being blindly insulted anyway is such a refreshing change.

~~And especially never admit you're totally not running Windows on a Protogen because you couldn't be bothered to modify it.~~

As an Asexual, can confirm, they're just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in "LGBTQIA+" that generally refers to multiple things under the "A".

In the latter case, it's left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it's harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else", but I'm not exactly great at fancy words... or words in general... but I try my best.

From the US, as per the rule of the community.

• Generally as it's understood, yes, people are to a degree born gay. Although as it is now, it's up to chance and the environment around them if they discover it or not, as being straight is so normalized some never figure out they aren't straight, or if they do, it's later on in their life.

As to "becoming" gay, it really depends on what is implied with it, usually through context around the situation.

• If it's implied by the person saying it about someone else as being a decision, especially a sudden one, to just "be" gay, it's generally with an ignorant or sometimes naive perspective behind it, respectively thinking it's to spite them, just following a "trend", or just to get out of the relationship with an excuse, or alternatively, they just don't know better about how it really works.

• And if someone is saying they "became" gay about themself, it just tends to mean they discovered that they already were, or in many cases, became more open about it to others after previously figuring it out. Perhaps until that moment, they thought they were straight, or even bi or any number of other possible options, but found out otherwise and realized they were specifically gay.

• And finally, if it's considered offensive, it depends on that previously explained context, as well as the context of how it's framed within the series, whether it's just that one character that believes it, or if it's more widely held as a belief, and whether it's shown as a good or bad thing within the series.

• If it's taken 100% seriously, and isn't challenged as being wrong, either by being portrayed comedically as that character having awful views, or another character or some other means indicating as such, then there's the possibility of it being offensively intended, which goes back to it being naive or out of ignorance.

And for the TLDR variety, start here:

If it's actually played for comedic effect and/or looked down upon, then it's the character that is being offensive, and not the series itself.

• The problem indeed isn't that the girlfriend is a lesbisn or potentially bisexual, or that she isn't interested in him, which would go hand in hand with not being straight, but rather that she is cheating on him, which is itself a more complex matter, and doesn't necessarily attribute the fault to the girlfriend by itself.

• It could even be that part or even none of his claim is true if it's not otherwise shown to be, in which case it might just be him making up excuses for why his girlfriend isn't interested in him, when it's likely to be his personality or something else driving her away from him in reality.

I only recently managed to convince the more reasonable and less religious of my two parents that it's pretty likely I have Autism and ADHD, given the extensive amount of signs of it throughout my life.

Though the rest of "me" I've had to keep hidden unless I want the more religious and less reasonable one of them to have a field day due to their regressive beliefs. Because, you know, being a Autistic ADHD Asexual Aromantic sort-of-gender Apathetic Furry, (I'm probably missing something here) or AAAA as I sometimes comedically shorten it to, doesn't exactly line up with their ideals about many things.

Also, thought I'd comment from here for this, but I've surprisingly adjusted pretty well despite all that I've been through. My main struggle recently has been dealing with stress from it, and the Autism and ADHD not making that any easier on me.

But overall, I'm proud of myself, I've continued going through something as horrible as all this and still keep bettering myself despite it all.

This, but every time my dad randomly wants to take me out somewhere because he saw a girl someplace and wants me to meet them because what I can only really term as "Girl". Problem for him being that I have no interest just because there happens to be a girl. If I'm going to meet someone for some reason, I'd really rather have say an interest in common or something else of that sort, not just blind chance because they happen to be a certain gender.

Yeah, it seems like part of being ace/aro is that understanding of what it's like to not be exactly straight, in whichever way is specific to their kind of asexuality/aromanticism. So in general it can be way easier to understand other people being different, even if the understanding of how it feels to have attraction to someone may or may not be there. And so ace/aro people tend to be more inclusive, sometimes even more so than other parts of LGBTQIA+ it feels like.

And on that sex repulsed vs sex neutral/favorable balance, it seemed like it was a hard balance to keep there. I myself am sex repulsed, but I'm not going to complain just because someone else isn't. If anything, I'm quite supportive of people being comfortable with what they do or don't enjoy. So I'm not entirely sure what would avert that constant back and forth shifting of overall tone.

Yeah, I agree with that similarity to Warframe's level of developer interaction.

Sure, in the past they've been slower to respond to feedback about problems, and often times old things have fallen out of relevance because something else just outright does the same thing, and more, but better.

But as it is now, DE really seems to be prioritizing listening to feedback, almost exponentially so, and as an example, bringing things up to par with what they should be at the current level of the game, a concept that much more rarely got the implementation it deserved in years before.
