Re: Response
I do admit I was a bit too swift in making my assumptions about you - it's a defensiveness that comes with seeing homophobia perpetuated in much the same way so often. I took what I had seen at face value, but I have more insight now. I appreciate you taking the time to write out your response. It seems ultimately to me that it comes down a difference in personal opinion. To me, a succinct label - even a general one like LGBT - is important, especially in this age, where "queerbaiting", if you'll forgive the term, makes it difficult to differentiate between what is clear, unashamed representation, and what is just speculation and subtext that dance around the actual topic. As for the list, while I fully sympathize with your desire to not set us apart as a separate group, there is an undeniable difference - not in a sexuality itself, but in how, historically, it has been represented (or rather, not represented) in comparison to heterosexuality. I also believe a list like that does serve a strong and important purpose. There are projects such as the LGBTQ Video Game Archive that document this history, as well as many researches into the same subject. Crawling through the wiki page of every character and trying to draw conclusions from the sometimes vague relationship histories and dialogues is just not a practical way to get the information for something like this. To have a list that clearly shows these canonically LGBT characters allows the user to get a quick, objective summarization, and they are free to then read their pages should they want more information on this. I don't know that I can convince you to revert a decision you already seem quite set on, but I hope you will at least consider allowing similar edits to be made again.
