Neither does any other reasonable person. The difference is that Noble Six was all of us and could have reflected even at a more vague degree than I'm suggesting.

: Including straight or cisgendered people. A lot of what I see above almost
: comes across as heterophobic.

Commenting that a franchise doesn't have enough queer people and relationships, and that the balance between straight, cisgender peeps and queer people of all sorts in it is not heterophobic. Actually that term itself is quite laughable given heterosexual and cisgender oppression of queer people, and the significantly unicorn-level rarity that cis and hetero people face oppression because of those two traits actually occurs. Sometimes it's not fun when you can't see people like yourself in the stories you enjoy.

: I mean... do you go around judging straight people in real life the way you
: do in fiction?

If by judging you're referring to me potentially calling people out on not being inclusive, and respectful towards women, people of color, queer people, and the combination of the three? Yes.

: Halo's future has always been very based in contemporary times.
: Transgenderism and even non-heterosexual relationships are just now
: starting to become more openly accepted, so it only follows that Halo will
: catch up as society does. I'm not saying it's where we should be at, but
: you still can't deny the reality of how things currently are.

I'm living in the reality of how things currently are on many fronts and the best thing the media can do which society as a whole cannot is to be progressive. I can tell you that in many places women, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, etc. people don't have rights and aren't treated with fairness and respect. Transgender people are almost universally not cared about to the point that many dehumanize us to the point that people understand why people kill us in hate crimes. Absolutely we're more open. Doesn't mean that people accept us.

Fiction, with the science fiction and fantasy genres in particular, is one of the best places for disadvantaged people to find inspiration in.

: I'm not saying to stop being vocal and to stop pushing the developers to do a
: better job at this... I just think you have to keep your expectations
: grounded, and above all be understanding.

I don't see the point in understanding an industry that doesn't seem to support many in employment, public relations, and in inclusive projects.
