I have many gay friends, and I think that since everyone in 2017 is fucking gay, Riot should make a Pride Jarvan IV skin in which his flag is a pride flag. That would be very neat and bring a lot of diversity in the League of Legends community. I would love to see this skin by pride month next year. Thank you.
Not only no but fuck no. Not everyone is nor has to be accepting of it. Plus that idea is thrown together. I don't push my religious ideology so don't push this in a fantasy game.
First off... no. Just... why? There is no need to have this in game. Second "As a member of TSM" is laughable. You are not a part of TSM by any standard of measure, you just have their tag in your name.
Openly gay is not legal in some countries where League is played, that's why nobody is openly gay.
Only if we get a metrosexual refugeekin skin for Shyvana!
Keep that kind of things out of League.
As a gay man myself, I ofcourse like to hear that people want the LGBT community recognised in game. However... A Jarvan skin with a gay pride flag would not be the way. In part the LGBT community is already established in game through Taric (and maybe VI) and some of his skins. Making a skin so blatantly obvious would not give the right message. We want to be accepted...not isolated, whether that may be through being considered "special" or "wrong"...Such an obvious skin would give the impression that we want people to think we are special and different (even in a good way) compared to anyone else...and that is not how is should be.
Edit: You don't see Lucian blatantly quoting Martin luther king or having a skin based on him...nor do you have an Ionian chamipon with a skin of Ghandi...things like this should represented in subtle ways...Just the fact that Lucian and Taric exist in game are already great steps towards accepting any and all people as they are :)
Upon being a part of the LGBTQ community, I think this is a great idea. We deserve some recognition and it would only make sense if we exhibited our pride and accomplishments through Jarvan's flag and himself. It doesn't necessarily make him a homosexual, which is great. We have come a long way. And as you said, it's 2017. Similarly, I think this skin would be quite popular.
