Neeko's sexuality is not overbearing. (Change my mind)

Illaoi 's lines insinuating sexual desire towards Braum

"Northman. There are motions I would like to show you." "I know you are strong. I wonder if you have stamina." "Finally, a man who won't break."

Illaoi Telling Katarina to pursue her love interest (Obviously Garen )

"No love is impossible, my god demands you follow your desires."

Ezreal being painfully blunt towards Lux

"Don't pretend you didn't see me, Lux. That doesn't work." "voice cracking Hey, Lux! clears throat Hey, Lux. What're yah up to later? Let's hang." "I'm a mage. You're a mage. I'm blond. You're blond. Doesn't it feel like we were made for each other?" "Hi, honey! Is it too soon to call you honey? It's too soon."

Garen 's lines for Katarina "Seven thousand and two--- oh, I didn't see you standing there." "Demacia... " *When heard, it's super seductive.

Xayah and Rakan together, and separately have more lovey dialogue than Neeko. Is it not already apparent that they are in-fact a couple? does THAT need to be "shoved down our throats", or is it okay? ex: "We pledged ourselves to each other in the middle of a tavern brawl. The whole place reeked of vomit, sweat and blood. It was so romantic!" ex: "If love is feeling so deeply for another that you want to chew your way under their skin, then I love Rakan... "

Evelynn um, . . . http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Evelynn/Quotes#Forecast adding her wall to mine would make this more unbearable. Zac is a walking flirt.

Neeko (Does not yet have an icon) has five lines directed at nidalee, four of which indicate that of love/longing for her. They have already had some sort of interactions, and this isn't just her "crushing" on an unknowing Nidalee. She's one , JUST one line that people draw forth assumptions from stating she automatically has a crush on Nami, all because she asked if she was...Nice? One line with Shyvana (And again, in comparison to some of the overly sappy shit I've only quoted other champions saying, this shouldn't even be that big a deal) "Does dragon lady want to eat lunch with Neeko sometime? Maybe?"

There's about 13 paragraphs in her story, one of which isn't blunt, "down your throat, or even as bad as:

Ezreal "Hi, honey! Is it too soon to call you honey? It's too soon."

It's as simple as: "Strong, beautiful woman" "Friendship blossomed" "Refused to go with Neeko on her journey."

Summing up the minimal attention to her sexuality as being minute compared to the rest of her story any of you showing disdain towards seemed to somehow either forget to read, or are just jumping in the band-wagon of salty/toxic players posting stupid discussions on the matter.


If your argument is that:
"It's because she's gay, and that's all she has to offer, like there's nothing else important about her."

My answer?
MAYBE READ HER FUCKING BIO!?
https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/champion/neeko/?utm_source=lcu&utm_medium=hub&utm_campaign=preseason-2019

Even if her being gay was the "centerpiece to all that made her the champion she is in league" (Which sounds a bit idiotic to those of you who believe it is)

Do I need to quote every champion who's lines seem to talk about one thing?

![Illaoi](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Illaoi.png) is religious, and her focal-point IS Nagakeburos. Is she too much for "Shoving it down the enemies, as well as allies throats"?

If so, show me the relevant, and heated topics on the matter.
![Illaoi](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Illaoi.png) alone shares thee same exact VO for ![Vi](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Vi.png) ![Jinx](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Jinx.png) ![Sejuani](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Sejuani.png) ![Ashe](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Ashe.png) 

"You, I like."

as minute, yes *MINUTE* (My-noot) as that small detail is, why didn't that receive thee attention being doled out to a champion for having a few lines of affection towards two people?

And finally, I'm shooting that elephant that's staring at me with wide eyes, and shaky legs in the corner of the fucking room:

If her few lines of interest had been directed towards a dude, and even more than few, but a paragraph, the boards would only be flooded with:
"Neeko's Broken OMG Riot plz nerf"

If her in-game quotes had been as sappy as ![Ezreal](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Ezreal.png) or plentiful as the two love birds, and were directed at a male champion, there would literally be no change, as there are hardly if not, any posts/discussions raising negativity towards said topics, rather their actual game-play is always being brought up.

I'm done.

TL;DR:
Stop posting things about a single champ without first getting your information on the other 141 champions.
You'll soon realize that the only difference from Neeko to ![Ezreal](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Ezreal.png) ![Illaoi](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Illaoi.png) ![Xayah](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Xayah.png) ![Rakan](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Rakan.png) ![Evelynn](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Evelynn.png) ![Zac](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Zac.png) ![Garen](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Garen.png) is that she's a lesbian (confirmed). Get over it.

Edit:
I know it hurts to argue, but if all you have are down-votes, that's fine. Wouldn't you rather waste your time *Not* clicking my post? I'm willing to hear your argument as to what makes her "overbearing" compared to other champs.

Kindly stop moving the goal posts. The exsitance of a homosexual champions in leauge is not the issue. No one cares about that. What people are mad about is a major game company once more pushing identity politics on soceil media. There was zero reason to mention her sexuality on twitter. No one would have cared if their writer had not done that.

Allowing their employees to do this. Is a slippry slope that leads to really bad things. What often comes next is attacks on the fanbase. Claims that if you do not like neeko you are sexsit and homophobic(allready happening). Followed by Endless hit pieces on men who play leauge. Followed by mass censorship of the bords(already happening check my post about mod actions taken against me and others who where talking about this earlier today)

Where are my openly-trans and gender-fluid characters?

I do not disagree, the way in which this character is written for the lore and interacts with other characters is fine, however, I will say that you use the word insinuating, which is not a direct confirmation of said characters sexual desires or orientation, which is why i am fine with those instances and not this one with neeko the comments from the lead designer however are not, riot had a standard of not stating a characters sexuality, now they have, that is the core of the issue, nothing else
