I try to be a positive part of the community, so hopefully this comes off with the best intentions, as I have grown up in California and have zero prejudice for anyone.
I believe that a game is not a soap box, and should attempt to appeal to as many players as possible. Most of Sea of Thieves players don't care about sexual orientation or pride... it is a pirate game. I am worried that Rare has been captured by a left leaning ideology and that it only has the potential to harm future of Sea of Thieves and more importantly the future of Everwild.
Having a rainbow flag up on the official discord all year around does absolutely nothing but potentially turn people away. It does not sell a single copy of the game.
This alone isn't the end of the world, but it is a bad sign.
Right now, there are a two things to be aware of.
1.) Chronically online people seek validation and will demonize this sentiment
2.) Rare employees who want to look good will hate this post
I'm not seeking any sort of response to this, I just fell that its my part to post this opinion out there.
Feel free to reply against this post and farm social points, but that isn't the reason I've made the post. Have a nice day pirates.
