Pokelawls slams people hating on Rainbow Six\u2019s LGBTQ characters Twitter: pokelawls, UbisoftTwitch star Pokelawls has hit back at players flaming games like Rainbow Six for adding LGBTQ+ characters. While titles like as Apex Legends and Rainbow Six continue to embrace LGBTQ characters within their ecosystem, some players have spoken out against the inclusion of such personas in the gaming sphere. Ubisoft\u2019s virtual take on Tom Clancy\u2019s iconic series sparked controversy last year with the release of openly gay Operator, Flores, whose sexuality upset some players within the community. Despite this, he was quickly joined by transgender character, Osa, leading to further outrage. After watching a TikTok criticizing the developer\u2019s decision to add LGBTQ characters into Rainbow Six, Twitch star Pokelawls has hit back at those who are bothered by representatives of marginalized groups making their way into the fray. Pokelawls reacts to Rainbow Six LGBTQ drama While watching a TikTok discussing the FPS title on stream, the video takes aim at Ubisoft\u2019s decision to include LGBTQ Operators. \u201cNow they give their virtual things pronouns and gender,\u201d reads the post, concluding \u201cdon\u2019t make real s**t out of it.\u201d \u201cBro, why you mad about it?\u201d asks Pokelawls. \u201cHere\u2019s the take, okay; yes, this happens a lot. Sometimes, you\u2019ll be doing your thing and, boom, the thing that you do will change something to be more attractive to things that have nothing to do with you, and it\u2019ll bother you because it\u2019s like \u2018what does that have to do with me?\u2019 \u201cHere\u2019s what you should do,\u201d he continues. \u201cShut the f**k up, and just move on. Talking about it is cringe. It\u2019s okay to be confused \u2018why is this in a game, what does it have to do with me,\u2019 that\u2019s okay, that\u2019s part of growing and learning. It\u2019s part of the change that happens where you have to figure out \u2018oh, they\u2019re trying to make a group of people happy.\u2019 It shouldn\u2019t affect you at all. \u201cIf they make a gay character or a character has a gay skin, who gives a f**k! You going to be mad now there\u2019s a gay skin? You can\u2019t play the game anymore? Who gives a f**k?\u201d He goes on to conclude \u201cyou know what? For me, I used to see it sometimes and be like \u2018why are they doing that?\u2019 but then you grow and realize, oh s**t, if I was gay I\u2019d be happy. There\u2019s nothing wrong with it, the game isn\u2019t dumb. More people are happy, why are you mad? It\u2019s not worth being mad.\u201d Coming into Ubisoft\u2019s new chapter of the Rainbow Six saga, Extraction, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if they continue to include LGBTQ characters in their game. After all, it kind of has \u2018rainbow\u2019 in the name, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
