My name is Stefan Lukje. I’m 23 years old, I’ve been playing Gearbox games since Aliens Colonial Marines. I’ve been a gamer since 1998. I’ve been a Borderlands 2 player since 2015.
I’m not attractive. I’m not skinny. I got my jelly rolls that I have to deal with. I’ve been teased about my appearance since elementary school. As I got older, I tried very hard not to let it get to me.
Today, however, I’m upset. I’m disappointed.
Today, I feel like my voice no longer matters to OP. Today, I feel like I was told that I have to give up confident and sexy poses to cater to a small minority, very annoying voice in the gaming industry.
I’m quite frankly sick of it.
I love being a sexy Eldrid character. I love being Boldur. I love being Thorn. I LOVE these strong men and women that can be confident in their abilities and their appearance, because in the real world, I’m none of those things. These games were an escape for me. I channel myself into these characters, because I would give anything to be just like them.
OP, why am I not allowed to be strong and sexy? Why am I not allowed to love these characters as they already are? Why are you alienating not just me, but many other men and women that love these characters as they are for a single voice?
I want Boldur to stay how he is. I want him to be strong, confident, and sexy. Please, PLEASE, stop trying to make this game too PC. Stop trying to make poeple like me out to be sensitive babies that can’t handle beautiful men and woman. Stop trying to cater to “families” when this game isn’t meant to be played by younger children.
Stop snuffing out my voice!
PS i accidentally set my real name as nickname
how do i change this?
