you know i normally don& #39;t care for this stupid kind of discourse but i want to say a couple thoughts on the ryne & gaia situation. i& #39;m 18 now, my birthday was in july, and i was wlw as a young high schooler...fairly recently
i feel like i should preface this with please do not rt or qrt this thread...i just want to talk about my feelings
i& #39;m not a lesbian and can& #39;t claim to speak for lesbians but just. as a wlw who spent more or less my entire time in hs dating a girl, who can recall being into anime where the more slightly explicitly wlw characters were weirdly sexual even in high school..
it& #39;s nice to see a 14~16 (guessing at that age range) year old couple that doesn& #39;t have any of that weird baggage or portrayal
i& #39;m not super into ryne or gaia as characters and i know that (especially due to its nature as a subscription based mmo) the vast majority of ffxiv& #39;s playerbase IS adults, most commonly 21+, but it makes me happy to see like...a totally positive relationship between two girls
