Non Binary Champion

reba042·May 26, 2018·3 votes·2,537 views

Riot should have more diversity in League. League is very good at diversity for the most part, but the only champion with they them pronouns is Kindred because they are two people. It would be cool for there to be a champion that uses they them pronouns because of their choice. If Riot made a non binary champion it might create some hype about League, making more people come. People would see someone like them that has not been represented that much (There are not that many non binary video game characters). If people did not like a non binary champion, because of their gender, then the champion could be reworked have be binary.

I'm very sorry that you dissliked this so much

Hate to burst your bubble but Kindred isn't even non-binary lol It's two characters, Lamb and Wolf. Lamb is female, Wolf is male. They just refers to them being a team.

"Kindred is the white embrace of nothingness and the gnashing of teeth in the dark. Shepherd and the butcher, poet and the primitive, they are one and both. When caught on the edge of life, louder than any trumpeting horn, it is the hammering pulse at one's throat that calls Kindred to their Mark of the Kindred hunt. Stand and greet Lamb's silvered bow and** HER** Dance of Arrows arrows will lay you down swiftly. If you refuse** HER**, Wolf will join you for HIS merry hunt, where every Mounting Dread chase runs to its brutal end."

Either way I don't see why having a non-binary character is necessary. I'm all for diversity and stuff but when you create a character solely around wanting to embody something like this it comes of as cheesy. It's better to put this kind of thing in the background, I personally liked how Blizzard handled Tracer's sexuality. Letting it be something sort of in the background that was revealed through lore and not making it a dominating trait of who she is.

This kind of breaks into the political realm, somewhere i don't think lol belongs.

Man, anyone else remember when there was only 2 genders? How many are there now? like 315 1/2?

Infinite positive and negative genders.

Genders are like the twin towers, there used to be two of them but now it is offensive to joke about that.

Well, this is something that can happen and or doesn't really matter if it hasn't, for the most part some things are Canon such as Varus being gay. because he's literally made of 2 gay guys xD i tend to just assume some champions are certain things especially if the community makes suggestions that are decently popular, such as Ezreal & Taric being Gay or Taliyah being trans & i believe it's canon that Taliyah is bisexual(As stated by RiotThermalKitten, Taliyahs writer) Caitlyn & Vi being Lesbian etc. Riot even posted a sunxmoon DianaxLeona image the day that gay marriage became legal in the states with the caption #LoveWins so yeah... lol I for one(because i love Taliyah so much and relate to her a lot) Like to believe (at least in my head) that Taliyah could be trans (mtf) because a lot of people assumed that on her release and for a long time. I also look a lot like her (mainly her freljord splash~) i have her nose, my natural brows are rly bushy, her face shape, eye shape, mouth shape, flat chested xD etc... LOL ALSO i was 16 when Taliyah came out & she's 16 etc... so, i like to take it a step further even and think to myself that it'd be cool if she's trans cuz then i relate EVEN MORE <3 XD i love her :3 (if only rito would give her more skins... preferably star guardian >->) xD BUT ANYWAYS! i think riot making a LGBTQ etc... or Non-Binary champion would just have to be lowkey and subtle kinda like Varus was, or the way they said Taliyah was bi/pansexual. where it was answered with a question towards taliyahs writer. If they just released a champion that just so happened to want to be called they/them or a champion that was apparently trans but that was only subtly confirmed by a writer for the champ or anything along that lines, i think it'd be cool and people should stop getting so butthurt over people wanting champions that they can relate to on a personal level, it's REALLY nice to have relateable characters that you can connect with closely. all the rude people saying it's being "forced" and w/e tf (which is stupid and it's not, so shut up... cry me a river... lgbtq people exist surprise...) those are the people that don't care cuz they already get multiple forms of representation anyways xD people get mad over such stupid crap that doesn't effect them in any way. if a champion was Non-Binary, how tf is that gonna hurt or effect anyone? cuz it's not... it doesn't hurt to have a string of diversity in video game characters, it's better for realism... And how are y'all gonna say that it won't fit or it's wierd or you don't want it, in a game world where midget furries, demons, succubus's,fox girls, and creatures from other dimensions exist. y'all need to mind y'alls own business and let people have their happiness. .-. -.-

I don't quite understand.

Non-binary identification is a practice in non-assumption. For example it is considered unhealthy to treat male as default and female as exception.

I don't know whose coming down that hallway, but they better be armed

Transgendered people who are going through the transition would like to be identified by their new gender, which I think is great and healthy. non-process transgendered people generally prefer to be called by a specific gender to which they personally identify.

But why would we identify a champion by they if all champions in the league are currently of a specific gender?

Not many video game characters are non binary, and that's a problem. Riot could rework a champion and make them non binary or agender, such as Zoe (Zoe has a quote where she questions her gender), this means that we could see the champion progress throughout their life, not just a snapshot. Riot also likes having unique champions, and having a champion that uses they them pronouns would both represent non binary and agender people along with being interesting and new.

But even nonbinary people still prefer a binary pronoun. They settle on one of the binaries until they resettle or stay the same.

I believe the exception is agendered people, but they comprise less than a third of a third of a percent of the US population.

Not all nonbinary people prefer binary pronouns. My friend is nonbinary and they use they them pronouns. They actually get very mad when someone uses the wrong pronouns.

Let's guess that 1% of the US population uses they them pronouns, that would mean that about 1.4 champions is League would use they them pronouns, so it would not be far fetched that there were to be a nonbinary or agender champion.
